JESUS F%$&#ING CHRIST, PEOPLES! BippityBoppityBoo made a quick flippant response to a quick flippant post, and everyone is jumping down their throat. Give it a rest.
Just out of curiosity, what are you going to do with all of the meat and dairy and grain that you’re refusing to “send” to blue states? Are you going to create a massive butter mountain, a la 1970s Europe? Flood your lakes with all the excess milk you’re producing? Set the cows and pigs out to pasture? Because if you refuse to sell it to blue states, I’m just not sure where else it will go.
There are already thousands of dairy farmers struggling to stay alive in the United States because American per-capita milk consumption had decreased so significantly since the 1950s and 1960s; if the red states refuse to sell their dairy products, it will just have the effect of reducing supply relative to demand, and therefore aiding the economic security of dairy farmers in blue states. Also, a significant portion of America’s dairy products are funneled into the socialist school lunch program, meaning that, in addition to buying red state dairy products for their own tables, we blue state taxpayers in shithole Democrat cities disproportionately prop up the dairy industry. You’re welcome! Funny how the rugged individualists of agriculture are happy to suck on the government teat when they can’t make it in the free market.
Grain? Sure, we need grain, but again, we can get plenty for our necessary consumption from all sorts of blue state sources and global trade partners. And again, maybe we can get the federal government to stop handing out massive amounts of money to corn growers in the form of ethanol subsidies. Also, just like dairy, what would you do with all that surplus grain? China’s not going to buy it; they’re too busy putting tariffs on American agricultural produce in retaliation for the Orange Hairdo’s shoot-ourselves-in-the-foot trade policies. “China’s going pay the tariffs!” LOL. Of course, the fiscally responsible President doesn’t want to lose his base, so he makes up for his detrimental protectionism with multi-billion dollar handouts to affected farmers, transferring even more money from blue to red America.
As for stopping your provision of meat, as a vegetarian all I can say is, please don’t throw me in the briar patch! But the meat eaters of blue America will have no trouble finding plenty of good-quality chicken, pork, and beef, and there are plenty of places in the world where the quality of meat produced is at least as good as America, and who would be happy to export more meat to American consumers.
Apparently I kicked up a MAGAt swarm on Maria Bartiromo’s Twitter feed 
It doesn’t take much to derail this thread anymore, people! We’re all on edge and only some of us are on mood-altering chemicals. You know who you are. Hang on by your chewed-on, bloody fingernails. We’ve got a few more weeks before-- I HOPE-- we can get ready to retire this thread and its predecessor. It’s been a goddammed long four years! 
Let’s keep our wits about us.
I’ll get this gosh darn thread back on track with a classic new trump tweet.
- Disagreeing with a Covid expert? Check.
- Making a childish insult? Check.
- Spreading lies and disinformation? Check.
- Referring to himself in a complimentary manner in the third person? Check.
Actually, Tony’s pitching arm is far more accurate than his prognostications. “No problem, no masks”. WHO no longer likes Lockdowns - just came out against. Trump was right. We saved 2,000,000 USA lives!!!
Surely you’re not suggesting Donnie composed this. 
“Prognostications”?? I don’t think so. Of course, there is a small punctuation error* and then there are the multiple exclamation points… Nah. I don’t think it’s him.
* Putting the period outside the quotation marks is okay in British usage, but not Amurrikan. Does he have a British lackey who likes to impersonate him?
Eh, it reads like trump to me-- multiple exclamation pointss, as you pointed out, random capitalization of “Lockdowns”, general insulting childish tone. He coulda got the word “prognostications” from a Word-Of-The-Day calendar or something.
Please don’t call it “Cali”. Makes my teeth itch. (Yes, we do have some awesome weed. 
)
Agreed. The only people I know personally who call my native state ‘Cali’ are people who are not from there.
Also “Frisco”.
Not Trump. He would not have the faintest idea what that word means. And if he did try to repeat it after hearing someone say it, he would not have consulted a liberal-lefty dictionary, and would have spelled it “pognosrication”
I’m curious about this so I took a look. To define Red and Blue State I’m using the results of 2016 to increase the red states by a bunch if we use 538’s 2020 predictor the red states do less.
I pulled the top 10 dairy states and 50.3% of dairy is made in Red states with California being the largest dairy producer by a lot.
For meat production I just went with Beef since it’s easy to find and used number of cows. Here the blue states only produce 14.5% of the beef.
For grain I went with wheat and the top 10 wheat producers. Here the blue states produce 23% of the wheat.
For vegetables blue states produce 80% of the top 10 states.
Lastly for fruit I noly pulled the top 8 since that is what the FDA had handy. The blue states produced 81% on this one.
Over all it seems like if we stopped trade across the political spectrum the Red states would be very malnourished with the blue states would turn vegetarian. It seems that Bippity did over state the importance of red state farming though.
There’s also not enough random capitalizations. Just “Lockdown”.
Nah, trump is the guy who couldn’t read the world “Yosemite”. Others do many of his tweets for him. This creep, Dan Scavino, actually:
From Wikipedia;
On June 18, 2019, USA Today released an article stating that Scavino is the one who writes Trump’s tweets.[13]
It’s pretty easy to copy his style. They mess up when they use big words, though.
Be careful if you click that link. Teh stoopid, it burns, it burrrnnnnsss ussssss!
It would burn even more if Trump hadn’t “closed down China”.
What’s wrong with Frisco?
Heh. 
Never been there.
Herb Caen: “Don’t call it Frisco — it’s San Francisco, because it was named after St. Francis of Assisi. And because “Frisco” is a nickname that reminds the city uncomfortably of the early, brawling, boisterous days of the Barbary Coast and the cribs and sailors who were shanghaied. And because Frisco shows disrespect for a city that is now big and proper and respectable. And because only tourists call it Frisco anyway, and you don’t want to be taken for a tourist, do you?”
Bolding mine.
And how do these 'Friscans think the city of Shanghai feels?
They should be glad that sailors that get bonked on the head and loaded on a ship bound for China aren’t referred to as being “Friscoed”.
I heard it was raining hard there.
