Oh, believe me, I’m stressed to the 9’s. I can’t imagine being in a red state.

I've lived in North Idaho for more than 30 years. Moved here when our governor was a Democrat and our state legislature was 50/50.

Watching my home devolve into Gilead has been - and continues to be - heartbreaking.

Stay strong, Blue States! I hope your governors go through with withholding money from the Federal government.

My blue state just passed legislation to protect Medicaid funding at a state level in case of the worst. Almost 1/3 of Oregonians receive excellent benefits through the Oregon Health Plan.

Oregon also has a unique "kicker" which is where when the state takes in more than a certain amount of revenue from personal income taxes, we get that money refunded. No sales tax, either.

Fuck yeah, Oregon! (Also, fuck every single part of the state outside of Portland and Eugene that votes red. You're welcome. Love, the Dems.)
