We are the side of mostly rural and suburban people. The opposition is the side that has every big business on its side (except for mypillow). We are not where the money is. Other than gun ownership, our biggest points of leverage are probably truckers and farmers.
We’re not going to beat them by throwing money their way. In addition to the fact that we have less money, that’s also adding more to the corruption since you’re still just bribing politicians either way.

Depends on what you mean by "money." In terms of real assets (not Wall St monopoly notes) the red states do most of the heavy lifting in the real economy. In a civil unrest scenario, the opposition is poorly positioned.

Agree. Where did this rhetoric come from that the liberals control the money? Liberals want to tax and spend money and redistribute money to the farmers (corn subsidies for example). Big businesses likes conservatives because it saves them tax dollars.

They need corn for the corn syrup they put in everything. Farmers should refuse to plant corn.

Farmers can do whatever they want, plant whatever they want! The free market will dictate what people need and what people will pay for! If big corporations need corn and there's a corn shortage they will pay more for it and more farmers will decide to plant it. Big corporations control the money because they are free to do so in capitalism!

Liberal politics need to stay out of the pockets of the corporations with their taxes that pay subsidies for things we don't need!
