I live in Missouri. These people consistently vote on ballots measures that help them, then vote in people who will overturn the ballot measures "Because people didn't know what they were voting for."
What pattern does the people getting voted in have? The (R) next to their name.
Seen it in the past decade I've lived here. People won't learn.
And similarly, Democrats have been so demonized that it does not matter how much they agree with the person, there are tens of millions of Americans who will never EVER vote for someone with a "D" next to their name.
I am from southwest Missouri, the hills of the Ozarks. I returned there with my brown (Hispanic) partner, had two kids from my hometown in baseball uniforms yelling monkey at him. I miss my common sense country people, I miss my giant pile of puppies dude friends, always wrestling and blowing the occasional bottle up with a firecracker. But they won't even stand up to a widely acknowledged rapist. How am I supposed to be friends with them being ok with that? I miss my friends, the older men who have such fun stories, and the older women who should not have blamed the victims but they will never stand up to the men that are the abusers. They'll always find ways to excuse or ignore it. Deuteronomy 22: 25-27 not even Christian, it's just easier to quote scripture at em
