You say that it involves a "centralized autocratic government", but the whole belief of Republicans is LESS government involvement. "Severe economic and social regimentation" that doesn't make sense either considering the liberal states are having a mass exodus in favor of Republican states like Texas. Fun fact, Texas is the #1 state for business in the USA with the highest growth, and despite its smaller population, it almost has the same GDP as California (and substantially less residents). If "Fascists" are so bad, why is everyone moving to their states? "Forcible suppression of opposition" Democrats literally weaponized the FBI to take down their political oppositions lol. Tell me you believe anything the media says without telling me.🤦♂️ PS: Trump sucks permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Erratic@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago* (1 child) Just addressing the "almost has the same GDP as California" statement https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_GDP Nominal GDP 2022 California: $3,598,103 million USD Texas: $2,355,960 million USD Per Capita GDP 2022 California: $92,190 Texas: $78,456 ????? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JudgeHolden@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago It's a common lie. The reality is that red states score much lower on every objective quality of life metric, while having much higher rates of things like violent crime, addiction and suicide than any blue state let alone any of the US's peer nations in the rest of the developed world. It's not even remotely close. With very few exceptions, the social pathologies we see throughout the US are concentrated in red states. Blue states have problems too, but they tend to be related to the fact that they are highly desirable places to live. permalink fedilink source parent
