  • Where does that get you? Does writing them off instead of reaching out to them make the world better?

    I’ll tell you where working with them, trying to understand them, trying to help them see how the different parties have direct affect on their lives has gotten me. I’ve got to have the ability to talk republican because I work in blue collar jobs, yet I’ve tried so very hard to show how it directly affects their lives and being compassionate.

    It’s gotten me them proudly coming in and crowing they voted Republican, keeping to their sports teams, and the people who hate the republicans telling me “I just really don’t care about politics.”

    So where does me writing them off get me? Finally understanding I CANNOT get to them, and my life has been a process of teaching a pig to sing. It wastes my time and annoys the pig.






  • No, really. We in Missouri are having our third AG in a row not finish his term because he’s climbing the ladder, when Jogs Hawley promised he wouldn’t use the position to chase a job… And then voted Eric Schmitt to AG to… do the same shit. Now since our current one can’t be a senator after suing everyone for wokeism, he’s gonna go co-run the FBI.

    Also Missouri has a nice part where petitions can get to bills that the public votes on to pass as laws. We’ve passed things like stopping puppy mills, keeping abortion legal, expanding medicaid, guaranteed sick time, and stopping of gerrymandering. Every one of these the Republicans have overturned despite the state voting overwhelmingly for these things.

    Why?

    Because the fucking mouthbreathing hicks in the country can’t get past the idea of voting for anyone with an R next to their name no matter if the candidate informed them not only would they ignore what they want for anything else, they’d shit in their mouth.
