    The cost of living in my “red state” is much lower than most places in “blue states” so I’ll be staying here and enjoying my financial well-being even though I’m not a Trumptard. While I don’t enjoy seeing rednecks everywhere showing off their dumb opinions, I still enjoy having money more than I don’t like that other stuff.

      I’ve said before, and ill say it again. For myself, I’d rather be poor in a place that respects human rights, instead of rich in a place that shits on them.

        Sounds mighty principled of you. As for me, I’ve spent enough of my years in poverty already, so now that I’m out of it I’m pretty content with my situation.

          It’s not principled. Some people just read history. Money only means safety when equal, stable, rights (ownership is a right) are enforced by the state. Not trying to change your mind, just be careful. The people you think are being “principled” may see threats you don’t.
