    The State of Jefferson garbage in northern California is laughable. None of those clowns understand that states need to produce something to be financially viable, lest they simply mooch off of the federal government.

    That area of CA produces nothing of real value, but then again, most red states do just mooch off of the federal government…

      I live smack dab in the middle of “The ‘state’ of Jefferson” area and it’s amazing how laughably disjointed the SoJ morons are. Functionally all the SoJ bumper stickers and other merch amount to a red flag when dealing with people.

      I think their economic plan is “sell water”? A lot of the push is driven by resentment about Southern California stealing “our” water (and only giving back millions of dollars of tax money for projects that would be unsustainable for a sparsely populated rural state)

      West Virginia for example.

      Also the state of Lincoln in eastern Washington. Smh. This must be relatively old since they aren’t clamoring for Greater Idaho

      And I don’t know where Oklahoma went. Not that it’s worth missing but I’m surprised the hate since they’re the most hardcore red state

      states need to produce something to be financially viable

      That’s liberal propaganda, if we kept to that we wouldn’t have great states like AB?(north Wyoming) on this map.
