After all of these years it stilL PISSES ME OFF!
California, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Oregon and Washington are RED (Leftist).
Blue should be reserved to Free States.
How many people will it take to turn those red states blue if it is just Rats deserting the sinking ship? Are more of the people leaving our allies or infiltrators?
Our National Divorce is at hand.
They hate us. We hate them.
Can’t live together.
No civil war, just civil separation.
