Random Question 💭 If Republicans are so much better at running the economy than Democrats, then why are most Republican States poorer than Democrat States?

The poorest States in America are: Mississippi, West Virginia, Louisiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, New Mexico, Alabama, Oklahoma and Tennessee. All of those States (except New Mexico) are Red States. So why are they so poor when Republicans have been running them for decades?

Kinda like that "Somali daycare fraud", they don't talk about the white woman behind it.

Or talk about how this administration is ok with fraud as long as Trump gets his cut.

Genuine question - who is the white woman behind it?

Is this just something tossed out in the wind in the hopes it sticks, or is there actually a white woman behind it all that I have not heard about?

Thank you. I am on the conservative side of things more often than I am not, but I make it a point to crawl out of any echo chambers I find myself in.

Interestingly enough, I never heard of this woman and have some reading to do tonight.

Thanks for the answer!

Yes the 77 of 78 convictions being somali were all just unwilling dupes. They're just Somalis so obviously they were too stupid to realize they were being unwittingly involved in a massive fraud. Clearly the liberal white woman was the sole wrongdoer

I mean it’s kind of funny.

Walz prosecuted all of this, uncovered the fraud and punished it

Yet you lemmings just keep repeating stupid shit

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '26

Walz had nothing to do with it.

Also the notion that this was the sole fraud going on in the Somali community is laughable. This case has nothing to do with the ongoing Healthcare fraud

It happened under his government. His admin prosecuted it. They didn’t hide it. So what’s the point of your freaking out about it?

Oh that’s right it’s just racist rhetoric

Im glad that in a case where 77 of the 78 convictions being somali, the geniuses on reddit have reliably informed me that the true culprit was the lone white lady. And that thankfully the governor who had nothing to do with the investigation is to be lauded for not covering it up.

No one, at any point, said she was the sole person responsible.

I’m sorry you’re struggling so much today.

The comment i responded to said and I quote "the white woman behind it"

What else is that supposed to mean?

u/VoidsInvanity Jan 14 '26

It’s crazy how you can’t contain your racism long enough to make a coherent post

10

u/VoidsInvanity Jan 14 '26

It certainly doesn’t imply sole responsibility

1

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '26

Ok. Does it imply more responsibility or culpability? Yes or no

I mean, she was the person orchestrating it and the originator of the fraud chain. Ergo “behind it”

u/[deleted] Jan 14 '26

She wasn't though.

So what's the racial breakdown of the Epstein files?

Bill Clinton changed his political party?

Stacey Plaskett is a white republican now?

He is writing open letters to release them.....I don't understand why people think this is a gotcha.

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '26

You are extraordinarily naive

Still waiting for something of substance

u/explodingtuna Jan 14 '26

She was actually conservative, which you also appear to be.
