I wonder how many of those “poor” republican states also have the bubonic plague? Or maybe it’s just something that comes with being the worlds 5th largest economy?

Since the mid–20th century, plague in the United States has typically occurred in the rural West. The case shown in Illinois was lab-associated.

Here I had no idea that Arizona and New Mexico were liberal but all this plague data just proves it (?)

In equally important news ice cream sales correlate with drownings.

Well, you see, unfortunately and like seems to be the case with "odd" consistency, these affairs tend to be organised by white suprema-- OH MY GOD WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT!!

One of them tried to organise more, and similar rallies on the back of the Charlottesville one that resulted in far right domestic and was explicitly organised by some of the highest profile neo Nazis in the US, like Jason Kessler and Matthew Heimbach. The other literally ran for Congress last year while being endorsed by white supremacist groups. Both if I am correct have also attended far right and white supremacist rallies, and have extensive links to white supremacists and white supremacist groups.

Though true, she may have technically been more more accurate in this instance to have just called them Neo Nazis instead.

Where was the Democrat outrage when the Obama Administration did it as well? Oh, I forgot. Its only deplorable when the other side does it.

If it wasn't for double standards the Left wouldn't have any.

“Obama did it so it’s ok?”

Nah fam. Don’t be wasting time with the compare either: the Obama admin didn’t deny them basic care. The Trump admin has gone so far as to admit “the cruelty is the point.”

So if you take pride in being straight you are either a white supremacist or a Neo Nazis? My gawd, the world really has gone mad!

If you organize one and you’ve been tightly associated with and involved with now Nazis and white suprematists your entire adult life that’s got to count for something my dude.

Trump admin has openly bragged on many occasions about the cruelty of their process.

Arpaio was pardoned remember. Among his claim to fame: boasting his tent cities were “concentration camps.”

Trump is now deporting people with terminal illnesses. Even one US Citizen, whom is now dead after being shipped off to Iraq without insulin or any way to communicate with locals. The Trump admin also openly argued in court against giving detainees basic hygiene products like toothbrushes, soap, and tampons - like, that’s the battle they wanted to fight, against basic care. The cruelty is in fact so naked and blatant I’m surprised you need extracurricular proof of any of it?

Here is one of Trump's then-Head of Homeland Security outright disproving what JohnMc1 is trying to claim about how this is nothing like Obama's policy and was something Team Trump came up with all on their own.

Yet another thing Trump & co wanted credit for at the time aaaaaaand... not so much any more! Funny how throwing children in concentration camps ever seemed like it would be a good idea really.

That throwing children into concentration camps with no care is Trump's policy. If you want to be a supporter of that, have at it.

Look at it broadly.
You've an administration that has fooled people like you into thinking major media outlets are lying on purpose because they have a specific agenda. You have been fooled into thinking members of the US congress are antiUSA. You have been fooled into thinking everything Trump says is true, even when he contradicts himself.
Fooled, or playing along with the con.
I feel sad for the U.S. people.

I've been to many southern states and states you'd consider poor. They're just as happy as us who live in rich states. Most there like their quality of life... the same as us. One thing I did notice is many in those poor states are somewhat overweight. I guess that is what constitutes to the health problems. But obviously less money doesn't equate to less food.

You stated it... So explain to us how they have a far crappier quality of life? I gather if you read it on the internet, it must be true, then. :rolleyes:

Yes OK richer or worse quality of life doesn't equal happiness. When I was in Tanzania I noticed people seemed happier.

No N things you read on the internet aren't all true. Some people do indeed believe that and as a result of social media influence 45% of Republicans believe Obama is a Muslim.

No, in this case the data comes from the Human Development Index, an index which assess human development by life expectancy, education and GPD. It was devised as a joint effort by Yale and the London School of Economics. Republican states do worse than Democrat states in all areas of the development index.

Trump's administration will be cutting funding to food stamps. Now ladies and gentlemen can you tell me which states this will hit the hardest? That's right the red states! Well judging by notobtuse's logic these guys will be even happier now that they're poorer! Let's hope they don't vote Democrat and get even poorer.

“I was surprised by the extent of the impact in some of the southern states, such as Texas,” Mathematica senior research programmer Sarah Lauffer said. The impact was always going to be severe in states that apply the current rules in the most generous fashion, but southern states have generally not extended their eligibility lines quite as far. Despite that, Lauffer said, her team found “34% of elderly Texans receiving benefits will lose them through this rule.”

Do you understand how they got into the camps in the first place?

So you are saying the Trump administration is lying by saying this is indeed their policy?
