I have to say, I'm a little bit surprised, but I guess I shouldn't be. I figured he'd gleefully screw over the blue states while continuing to help the red states, but obviously once he got into office he doesn't need them any more. Which just goes to show they've got serious plans to make sure there won't be any more free and fair elections.
(edit) I live in a red state, so all I can do is hope we don't have any major disasters. At least our state's finances have improved under our Democratic governor, but her term is only until the end of next year, when I'm sure a repub will replace her (we alternate our governors between repubs who screw everything up, and dems who painstakingly get us out of the mess over the objections of the repub-controlled legislature, just in time for voters to forget how bad the last repub gov was and vote in another one. rinse and repeat).
Arkansas isn’t rich enough to bribe goodwill from trump. He’s perfectly willing to shit on blue states that don’t kiss his ass for free, but everyone else still has to pay up. If you’re poor, sucks to be you.
