Missouri used to be a decent place to live. Now it's just a red state --------. One didn't even need to look to know that some small town - Dixon, MO - MAGA goober came up with this. Median family income here is 28K per year and almost 25% live below poverty line. The whole town together couldn't scratch up enough gold or silver to buy a lottery ticket or a pack of cigarettes, yet this is what their representative is up to in Jeff City.
Re 4 - You do remember one of your revered cult leaders and his 'Dittohead' followers, right? You have a sitting GOP Senator that won't run for reelection because he thought critically about a topic and formed a different opinion. MAGA is a cult that has worships groupthink.
