“What was he convicted of?” someone asked.

“He had tattoos on his body,” she replied triumphantly.

“Hey, smartass!” shouted a woman in her sixties, jumping to her feet. “You want to see my tattoo?”

“Lady,” the Trump supporter said. “You don’t know what a tattoo is.”

“Yes I do, I’ve got one!” the woman shouted, tapping her chest.

The Trump supporter dismissed her with a wave of one hand. “I’ve had enough of you Democrats,” she said.

The stupidity of some people in that article is jaw dropping.

Also, if they shout at each other now, just wait for the SSA, Medicare, and Medicaid cuts that make hearing aids too expensive for rural boomers.

Specifically boycotting anything that comes from Iowa would be a great trade policy for our former allies to adopt

Studies show that two out of every three Trump voters are just as stupid as the third one.

"Everyone that disagrees with me is a Democrat"

[–] [email protected] 72 points 1 week ago

Not only that, but Democrats by default do not matter and shouldn't be considered at all.

You'd think farmers at least would understand the relationship between what you sow and what you reap.

Iowa was improving in the 90s, improving in the 2000s. They were blue then.

Now I hate going back, it's not the same state I grew up in. Abortion billboards and porn stores, same as the bible belt now.

The state is not improving but they don't care anymore, long as the right people (like me) get hurt.

Imagine believing that the best days of the US are ahead of you...

I'm sure improvements will be made, but the United States is dying, thanks in large part due to the cancer that's rightwing propaganda networks
