“Great post. As a CA Freeper, am I reading this correctly? Texas has a higher SNAP than California?”

Yeah, I noticed that too! And “Oregonians” are always making snide comments about California’s welfare! I guess they need to look in the mirror! Ditto for Texas!

“like Commierado. front range (plus aspen and vail) libtard cities and the rest real colorado.”

Actually it’s more like the big cities vs. the country folks! The only states that have, (thus far more or less) “avoided these issues don’t really have any ( or at least very many) big cities. Take Utah. Twenty-seven of the 28 county sheriffs support the 2A, but the @$$hole in Salt Lake County is the lone holdout. Salt Lake City is really the only big city in the state. Here in CA with 58 counties, we already have something on the order of 20 plus sheriff’s doing the same thing. Maybe the Freepers from Texas can tell us what the breakdown is there. That would be an interesting number.

“...best thing I can say about the Old Dominion is that we’re not quite as infested with bureaucrats as we originally thought.”

We are certainly on our way though. It’s taken me months to recover my equanimity after November’s horror.

I can see our wonderful state becoming the next infestation of “progressives” hell-bent on destroying it.

Fewer ‘takers’ in CA than in Texas? Hmm.

I see that UTAH’s usage has doubled since 2008.

In line with the other replies, eastern OR has a lot of this kind of stuff:

Eastern WA, too. Except where libs have moved in from the western sides or California these areas are still conservative.

Interesting tid bit...a friend who lives in Amarillo told me that illegals there are few and far between. That's because they're all in Houston. :)

Are Dallas and San Antonio sanctuary cities? I know Houston is.

I fear we have millions of young people in this country who will never be able to even support themselves, let alone support a family, even if they decided to try.

The young adapt as history shows. That is about the only silver lining that history is showing us right now.

It mattereth not; as we have plenty of space for them: left behind by those who were CHOICED to death - 55,000,000 and counting.

More than 3K a DAY, every day.

Over a million a year...

Space for them is not the main problem, they have no life skills, they don’t have a clue how to make their own way.
