They don't have any fucking electricity, and are begging for the government to bail them out.

Many Red States are propped up, subsidized by Blue States through our higher incomes & taxes. We put more in the coffers. It's why talk of succession is nuts because most of these low-tax states could never survive independently.

Ted Cruz knows this but like his Republican colleagues depend on the willful ignorance of their constituencies and their own myth-making. Cruz in particular has no problem calling for Federal financial help during an emergency situation in Texas but is equally quick to deny help to Blue States in similar emergencies.

It just goes on and on. Liars got to lie. It's why they so quickly became Trumphumpers.
