π§΅Under 22 years of a Missouri GOP Supermajority, we have fallen to last place for starting teacher pay and state worker pay. Last in educational funding. We have a school voucher scheme while rural public schools have fallen to 4-day weeks. We have childcare deserts. Childcare centers are closing.

Crazy are those churches too.
That was a long time ago π
Oh I KNOW. Let's be dumb and vote for Trump.
It was tolerable when we first arrived but got steadily more outwardly red over the course of 15 years.
Here's a little bit of red/blue data.

McCain 1,445,814 to Obama 1,441,911
Most Missourians are rotten to the core like the representatives they elect.

She votes a straight red ticket because she doesn't like Democrats because she's pro-life.
My FIL just votes Republican because his bigot, Fox loving brothers do it.
Cannot do even that? Understand that decades of this is how we got here: tolerance of bigots.
They want the illusion of improving the quality of life for themselves by making the quality of life worse for people they hate.
Instead of raising the bridge, they want to lower the river.

I generally tell them that it sounds like a great move for them, provided they like potholes and shitty schools.
Thank you.

We should be rioting in the streets on January 20th and not stop until Trump/MAGA and all that support/enable them are gone. But we won't cuz that's hard.

Conservative White Christian Nationalists...
These miscreants even misdirected money meant to help needy families!
They thought that building a volley ball stadium was more important than actually helping people!
We pay taxes and are told not to expect anything in return.
That's the power of a culture war.

Also America: "We canβt afford healthcare, school lunches, daycare, or housing solutions."

Unfortunately, it's not just a thing for American dads, it's a thing for dads who are not heavily involved in parenting all over the world, especially in developing countries.

MAGABABYMAGA!
At some point you stop asking the girl to the dance after she turns you down 50 times.
Know what is next? Unions. Pretty much done protecting blue collar workers too. Racism has consequences.
Racists and bigots abound there. They wonβt vote for a Democrat.
Oh, and punishing children and women just for, you know, being.
