And of course folks are always seeking better living situations and as Florida and Texas grow and thrive this makes other RED states more attractive. Butthere's no significant demographic or economic migration back to the decaying blue states.

But at the same time, you girls have selective angst. Your very reply was done in angst. One man has created all this stress in your lives.

post from any non-MAGA poster when Biden was in office and copy and paste them here. For all the years you've had your MAGA-king in office along with the MAGA-majority in Congress, all you MAGA types do is post and comment like the world is ending. Aren't you tired of being played for a fool by the people you hail at the political alter?
