This.

They also think they'd be the 'majority' in this fight. And sure, they'd have a lot of land. But people... Money? No.

When Biden won, something like over 80% of the GDP broke for the Democrats.

Good luck funding a war with 20% of the money they country makes. There's counties in California that make that much probably.

I was going to say "this is yet another one of those 'land doesn't vote' maps".

They dumped a lot of conservative states like Utah, Wyoming, and Montana into group 1, but group 1 has California. That's where the people are.

My neighborhood in LA has more people than Wyoming and Montana.

Also this.

I was just going to say, "who has the GDP?" Because that's what wins a modern war.

California has like 1 in 8 of all Americans, and we're the single richest states. The south is still pretty much the same place it was after their last attempt at this war.
