@inthehands Wyo actually used to be a donor state. At onetime, we had so much in the coffers, they were considering on giving checks to everyone. And then honestly, Biden killed our gas industry, and we never recovered which let MAGA usurp the state. "That square state..they're doing things right. Let's not let them do that" is kinda what happened. We're a little a little bitter about it.

I'm not sure I completely buy this argument: (1) Wyoming only just baaarely crept over the net donor / net recipient line recently; it was a very small shift. (2) The gas industry •needs• to die, and I’m all for using fed money to soften the blow of killing it for individuals. (3) Most skeptical: “let MAGA usurp the state?!?” Wyoming has been one of the most deep-red states in the country since I was a kid next door to it in the 80s, so….

@inthehands maga wasn’t a problem until the freedom caucus came in. Red yes. But republicanism in Wyoming works more like Libertarianism does.

I don’t know, I was in high school maybe an hour or two from where homophobes murdered Matthew Shepard and left his body by the side of the road, which hardly seems a Libertarian thing to do.
Again, I'm from that part of the world. I know the Libertarian veneer, and I also know how much it resembled MAGA beneath that veneer even in the 80s and 90s.
