You forget, you live in an American based republic comprised of 50 states who currently remain together by choice and you live in an American state that currently remains together by choice as well, Your issue has always been our freedom to choose and decide for ourselves, How's the trickle on the blue side these days? Does the trickle still suck on the blue side? Blue America still not paying people enough to survive in blue America without lots of government programs and financial support and now reliant upon local governments passing laws that raise wages too.
You are perfectly welcome to express your contrary opinion, and none of us around here are afraid to express our opinions or correct what we see as ignorance or dishonesty. I question why you feel the need to declare your rights and ability to do this. Even though you don't like me, I am fine to have you and your point of view expressed here.
Personally I don't think there's a need for a hunting culture for sport or meat eating, but I know there are other points of view on this, and if we become a fully civilized society, we will be able to sort out the various needs and cultures and come to agreements that serve the people. Republicans are now unable to do this, for the most part. Once you guys are politically defeated, you will be able to come to the table as part of a moderate center-right coalition (perhaps in what is now the Democratic Party) and participate in a civilized society, and leave the Paul Ryans, Newt Gingriches, and Donald Trumps on the lunatic fringe where they belong. This may take a while to happen, but on the other hand, 4Ts move fast and we may move quite a ways toward this goal in the 2020s.
You guys are the ones who voted for trickle down. At least we in California have a healthy economy because we are a blue state, in which people pay for government to provide for long-term investments in infrastructure and education, which greedy capitalists will not, and we provide a safety net for victims of capricious capitalists that you think reds are God's gift to Humanity and can do no wrong.
Yes we do, and "freedom" does not in any way consist of a choice to own military weapons which only the military should use.
