Counter points to keep in mind.

Most red states are dependent on federal funds to function.

Without those funds:

-Not enough cash to maintain even a small state government
-Not enough cash to maintain state schools
-Fossil fuels don’t make the public healthier
-Not enough cash to do elections, GOP won’t do honest elections
-Law enforcement eating up a majority of what cash there is, not enough cash for public
-No national military to protect you
