I’ll address the small portion of your post that isn’t plain idiotic.

I think this part will be proven correct. It’s a very unpopular war. And the way he has handled it is equally unpopular. But how come you don’t go after the California Dims who have ‘jumped the shark’ with respect to taxes, affordability,



The Republican party is now the high tax party due to supporting Trump tarriffs

Due to CA's geography and climate, running CA like IN would turn CA into a desiccated, uneducated, industrial, asthma-inducing wasteland. Much like many Red states already are.

Some red states are absolutely disgusting such as Speaker Johnson's Louisiana
I wintered on the Louisiana border
I made sure I was nowhere close to cancer alley
Its several counties that spew disgusting pollution causing residents cancer

Good point,

Weren't red states the big sites of opiate addiction, due to industries leaving and people losing hope of achieving the American Dream?

They were and are a center of opiate addiction and abuse, but people have been abusing opium for 2,000 years and opiate addiction is everywhere in the US.

Yes, opiate abuse is / was a national problem but I got the impression that at its height the most problematical and devastated areas were typically red states, i.e. "Hillbilly heroin" in Appalachia.
