They dont understand their daily life is subsidized by the federal government, and that cutting those programs means their share of the costs go up.

The majority of red states aren't self sustainable.

If blue states said fuck it and stopped sending the Fed money, it would go broke along with every red state except Texas I think. But they need federal funding every year for climate disasters

They won't understand after, either, as they'll be told that Democrats are somehow keeping them from getting their due. And for some reason they'll believe it.
