In the states. The blue states call the red states the “welfare states.” Simply put, the 5 blue states pay for ALL the red states services combined because they’re so poor and dilapidated and broken and uneducated. Poor little fellas vote so heavily against their own interests, they should be so lucky to have those 5 blue states.
Yes, but Texas has 3 major population centers which are all pretty blue, not just Austin, and has benefited from destroying the environment through the sale of oil, which definitely subsidized itself a little (incidentally Texas should be the wealthiest per capita state if they’d socialized their oil sales instead of allowing like 3 guys in charge of 3 companies to make 90% of the money). Florida has a decent population and gets a lot of tourism money, so arguably is subsidized by external funds still.
Even if Texas had put all the oil into a sovereign fund, like at least one of the scandanavian states, I don’t think they would come close to beating Alaska, at least not per capita. AK just has way more oil and way fewer people than TX
True I think, I was mostly thinking of lower 48. Texans should have all the quality of life of California, but instead we get toxic sludge basically everywhere and 0 public land to do fun things and see nature in, basically.
Florida cities are pretty liberal too. Except maybe Jacksonville but that’s nearly In Georgia. And Naples but that’s all expat northerners, and there is nobody more racist than the northerners that move down here.

Last time I checked Florida & Texas were exempt from that particular “all red states” grouping.

Jacksonville has a Democratic mayor and voted for Biden in 2024 IIRC.
I think you mean Harris
Oh yeah, duh.
