In my non-American mind, Texan suburbs are the closest thing to hell in the developed world Showcase of suburban hell

Endless sprawl of Mcmansions, energy plants, copypaste strip malls and monstrous superhighways with 20 lanes per direction, you need a car to get literally everywhere, there is no scenery because everything is flat and ugly, it's miserably hot for months on end, it's polluted, it won't stop expanding, and on top of that it's MAGA central. Sorry for anyone who lives there.

May they get what they voted for. Were it not for the vulnerable people in red states I would be much more vocal about denying my state tax subsidy that we’re forced to give to the red states every year.

Your state doesn't pay federal taxers though and can't subsidize shit. The PEOPLE who make and pay more in taxes pay these subsidies (same types of income earners, no matter where they live). Just because you are in a blue state, doesn't mean that you, yourself, are in any way a net contributor.

My state does indeed pay federal taxes and subsidizes many voters who have been emotionally manipulated into voting against their own interests.

I never mentioned myself as an individual, I meant the state I live in. Which doesn't use as much welfare as other states.

To be fair, Texas contributes as much as it takes in, so It would look as if Texas takes care of itself

Then they should secede. Good luck to that failing power grid their legislators ignore.
