Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Opinion pieces, the true stamp of approval.
Before bumfuck nowheres everywhere started demanding control over women’s bodies, I’d have asked why not? If you can remote work to a good paying job while living like a king in famously poorer red states, that makes sense to me. Enough people do that, we might just make it so “rural” doesn’t have to mean “uneducated hateful fox news watching mouthbreathers”
To give them some minor form of credit, they probably don't know what opinion pieces are and think it's legit news.
You mean you don't trust stateofunion.org? How dare you!
It gets even better when you look at the prominent source of the article links to another blog that also doesn't list sources.
https://www.analyzingamerica.org/2023/12/719337/
If you click on the source THERE, it just links back to itself.
@random65837@lemmy.world how does it feel to eat propaganda and fake news like that?
Says "left-leaning" proceeds to list corporate puff pieces. 😂 You people are absolutely delusional
I've taken to laughing right in the face of anyone IRL who starts a sentence like "even the liberal MSNBC...."
The absolutely ridiculous notion that our corporate media is liberal is something that needs to be openly mocked.
I am literally in the process of fleeing a red state. Am I fake news?
Good. Hopefully they'll turn those red states blue.
The people leaving California, for example, are Conservatives. They were going to Texas, but now they see Florida as their white theofascist utopia, so maybe we'll finally see a purple Texas (recent voting trends in Texas reflect the influx of Conservatives when you divide recent Texas residents vs. well-established Texans of 5-10+ years).
Depends how you look at the numbers. While there's definitely some positive increase in the in red states with a modest sub-1% growth rate, they saw a 2% growth rate previously. So on its face it looks like a positive increase but it's still a negative trend with a -50% reduction of the base line
Conversely, blue states were seeing a -0.5% growth rate but have tightened that to -0.05% so that's a 10x increase over baseline while still seeing a population decline

Not to mention red, states are welfare states that have their problems .
And?
Little known fact, only one thing can be true at a time. Checkmate libturd. /s
