In reply to the discussion: Eric Boehlert: Why are we still seeing Trump Voter stories? [View all]modrepub
(3,494 posts)10. Retribution Will Be Swift
We're a democracy so at some point Republicans will gain control (if they ever have given it up on the local and state level where you live) of the Federal apparatus.
We need legislative back stops to prevent Republican areas from directing tax receipts from where they are collected (suburban and urban) to rural areas where they are largely not. The orange menace and his Republican allies made it abundantly clear that they would punish Democratic leaning areas by withholding government funding anytime they wished (even though those areas probably contribute more taxes than they already receive). This is a similar to spousal abuse. Best to put up barriers between us as best we can.
