As a Missouri resident, I could see everything that’s happening coming a mile away because they already did it to my state. Defunded schools, kicked kids off Medicaid, refused the will of voters, attacked marginalized communities, and sold off farmland to foreign companies. We knew.
AAANDDD ! Are you still sitting on your hands ?
What happens to all those who need food and have no money? Does Missouri just let them starve and put the bodies in mass graves? Sounds familiar.
I’s like to know that as well although one has only to look at the top 10 states with highest poverty and lowest education levels to see that they are red states. Time to separate and secede in California - if only.
It sounds like it the pantries have no food
Didnt they just shut down that program too?
They literally put them on buses and send them to west coast blue cities so they can point at them and say ‘look how out of control blue states are’ We have so many unsheltered people here because they are fleeing the inhumanity in their own red states. It’s a win/win for the GOP.
And yet, >58% of Missouri voters voted for Trump in 2024.
Us from Floriduh know too.
And yet Missouri is now firmly MAGA country. That's what I don't get. At all.
It's because MAGA has owned the narrative. Progressives need to get better about claiming success and declaring failures from the other side.
It's not just about messaging. I grew up in Missouri, in a rather affluent community just outside St. Louis. Far too many who live there embrace the White Christian Nationalist agenda. The people there love the JD Vance and Josh Hawley GOP thing. It's disgusting.
My bad - you're absolutely correct. Given your experience, do you think there's anything that would change those views?
Not really. At least not the White Christian Nationalism amongst them.
As a resident here NO there is not anything that will change their views.
As a resident also There are some blue dots , I ‘ve lived here all my life and we are seeing churches close and Catholic schools close, that’s why they turn to taking over public schools, trying to force people, it’s cult mentality
Yeah...I know a fair few blue dots. Many have moved elsewhere, whilst others cannot for various reasons. I left early. I honestly don't regret that decision at all.
Bingo! It is about political religious BS.
A lot of it is driven by views on abortion. Yet, the majority of voters approved legalizing abortion in the state. The rural barefoot Baptists run the state legislature and they are continually trying to overthrow the will of the people. Doesn't make a lot of sense but here we are.
My MO life was typical for the suburbs in StL. Views on abortion are still conservative. But there's also a hell of a lot of simply Whit Christian Nationalism. It's 'polite', but it's very much real.
Some if it isn't so polite. One of the big proponents from Arnold is not running for re-election. She has proposed a lot of drastic actions.
None of it is really polite. It's hatred for anyone not white.
And yet, they continue to vote for these people every time there’s an election. What gives? Is everyone just plain ignorant there and everywhere?
You knew…and yet Missouri still voted for Trump. My sincerest condolences…for us all.
🖕Missouri and all the re-pubes who voted for this moron. You deserve EVERYTHING coming your way.
And yet a reliable majority of voting Missourians still keep voting for all that shite. I just keep wanting to understand: Why????
I'll never understand voting for a party that literally abuses children. And their own parents voted for it. Sick and disgusting.
What sucks about that is, like in every state, MAGA knew about the cuts and potentially more, but still voted for him. That’s the part about this I don’t understand.
I’m your neighbor. I live in the part of Illinois that gets mostly Missouri broadcasts. We’ve been watching too. The ads that ran for Missouri politicians during the last election season were terrifying.✌️
Ditto #Iowa More to come, folks, none of it good
Oklahoma isn’t far behind.
We all knew. Maga keeps saying the trump was right about everything. Um...no. I was, we were, right about everything and I can prove it because it's happening right now...before our eyes.
It came from 'Hillary was right about everything'. They stole that, too.
I see Texas following suit too. I fight because I have grandkids in schools. Education is so important and the lifeblood of rural communities. So disgusted by the Red Regime.
To be clear, these actions promote more fiscal responsibility and local control. You’ve not stated any positives that more than offset your perceived negatives. I assume i reposted some nonsense from a lib site or source. Missourians by and large support the legislative changes that have been made.
Faux News comes free with basic cable there - doesn’t it.
Faux was the beginning of the end
Yep
I can’t even get Comcast to remove Fox news
Awful
Nebraska is attempting to do the same things. Greedy oligarch money is supporting the same initiatives.
Ricketts and Fischer 🤬🤬🤬
Sounds like Utah..
National Weather Service now being dismantled! Every Law Firm in the county should prepare to SUE the Federal Government for loss of life and property due to this negligence! No more Property Insurance needed! Just a good Lawyer!
While racism can play a roll, I truly believe this is caused by a complete lack of Empathy. Something I told my 16 y/o about driving. Always assume everyone else believes where they are going is more important than everyone else on the road. I believe this can also explain voting.
republicans have been devolving us into republican dystopian hellscape for more than 40 years.
Education is what they reduce first. Don't educate children, do not teach critical learning skills, bombard people with propaganda (Fox & Truth Social) - keep it up until it becomes truth - control the masses via propaganda. Look at the relationship between educational results and voting patterns.
Misery*
And yet the majority of the State voted for it. I will never forget that.
STL and KC did not vote for Trump. It was a rural shit show. 🤦♀️
I heard that, and it makes sense. Only the greedy and the educationally needy vote red.
Same happened in rural Ok. They elect em’.
…and nothing gets better for them. It’s counterintuitive.
yes, missouri was definitely one of the states that was a testing ground for all of this.
A lot of us knew. Just not enough to shift the "Vote for Anything with an (R) after its name" paradigm.
Sad, isn't it?
Wait, what? I thought Missouri as a whole voted FOR the republicans. Or is your state a trend-setter?
Project 2025
And yet the people in MO continue to vote in the people who hurt them. Why?
And so many didn't think it would happen to them or that they might get a check on an invitation to Miralago 🤣 Or just didn't like the way things were going and felt that both options were bad. Or were just too fucking lazy to get up and vote. Or after the Kool-Aid, they think it will be heaven ffs
And, sadly, Missouri went 18% for T. People absolutely refuse to acknowledge the truth.
Tennessean here. Same. Destroying our state for 20 years.
😓😓😓
The average rural Missouri resident is force-fed Sinclair Broadcast Group News and believes it as fact, that’s part of the problem. Another major issue is the education system, rural Missourians can see what’s going on around them but still vote for Republicans, yet they are dumb enough to vote GOP.
Now the GOP on the federal level want to defund PBS and NPR. Some of the few decent news org. in MO.
They don’t give them as much $ as they like to think.
Having lived through it do you have a blueprint for how to fight back and reverse it?
Nope. We’re absolutely screwed.
The same has happened here in Arizona.
Misery loves company.
I know you tried to warn us. Thank you.
Oh and the schools in Arizona have been inundated with vouchers to go to charter schools at the expense of the taxpayers. We're 1 billion dollars in debt because of vouchers and the Republican held State legislature won't stop expanding!
The great American experience at the expense of our children. Where we are, charter schools are popping up all over the place to get the children to bring their vouchers to them. However, there're no studies to let parents know if these children are getting a better education in charter schools 😡
They know religion will be the focus. And taxpayers foot the bill even if they are wealthy parents.
Religion and segregation. They don’t want to go to school with non white, non Christian children. Since charters are private schools, they don’t have to afford equal opportunity to anyone. Make America White Again 🤮
There have been studies on charter schools in general, studies find by and large they're not great. And they almost never take special ed students.
Right but the owner makes a lot of money.
Yes that too. They're mostly just a grift and a way to put pure shit right into kids heads
I mean it's the banned books, it's the rewriting of History... there is no education anymore. They're so afraid of sex class or how to have good relationships classes. And fear the LGBTQ+ instead of know who you may have as coworkers someday.
Some parents are wanting that shit in the kids heads. That's child abuse imo
I agree
In phnx saudia Arabia is growing alfalfa on top of our aquifers with no limitations on how much water they can use because it is illegal to grow alfalfa in their own country to feed their horses. So they come to Arizona already lacking water and suck out millions of gallons for their crop.
🤯 what?!? Omg.
Just found on web that one lease has been terminated and 3 more will not be renewed for their breaking rules. Hope those 3 leases are up soon.!!!!
Same. That’s horrible!
I've been reading about this for years. I've always wondered why Arizona allows this to happen. It's putting the livelihood and ability of Arizonans to access water they need to survive at peril.
They pay a small rental per acre but had unlimited access for water under that land. And then when the governor's office tried to do something about it they threatened to sue the state. And we know who has the most money between Arizona and Saudi Arabia. So I don't know how it turned out.
I read that too. But they are draining the water away from Americans to do something their own country doesn't allow. There should be a law against this. It's unfortunate that we didn't see it coming. They took advantage of the laws they knew better than we did 😞
Why are other countries allowed to use our land ??? Our own companies should be using it. Having countries poses a risk to our population if they like poison our water or something. Would that be called a soft War?
OMG!
🥲🥲
HUGS So many innocents are going to suffer needlessly. And I hold all those rs...every cursed one of them, and the dems who stood aside crying about having no power and not doing anything.....but voting for the right trash cabinet appointees. WE see you, mother fuckers!
We were the test
Despite all this, Missouri voted for Trump. So there’s that.
I guess Missouri never claimed to be smart, just compliant to criminals…you know…the wealthy criminals
All part of the decades-long plan. Start in a plurality of states. Create a national propaganda delivery system. Capture the courts. Dismantle the federal government. Done!
Iowa. Same.
I have designed a poster for the upcoming HANDS OFF! protests. If anyone wants a printable file, please message me : ) www.mobilize.us/handsoff/
There's a few non MAGA but I feel like most of the people just can't be bothered to vote in any election.
Frightening
That was why I moved out of that state. The same year trump was elected, 2016, saw the collapse coming. Healthcare sucked too.
You guys are like the regional theatre where the GOP soft launches their plays before taking it to broadway.
Any sign that any Missourians are getting unhappy with this?
:(
I hate conservatives and Republicans and Nazis
The backwater Darwin counties voted for this.
Once they killed manufacturing and the cities it supported, they’re now going after everyone else with a job.
And yet Missourians still vote for Republicans. What gives?
And yet here we are.
Missouri's been a kind test case for the Christo/Fascist contingent...they've been pretty successful, unfortunately...
Yet trump carried the state! Vote with a moral compass from the lowest office to the highest or aid and abet this dictatorship !
I saw it in Texistan. 🤮
Missouri was a practise round to see what they got away with. As was any part of the world with oil or not-white folks internationally. Now it’s come home to roost federally, using all the same tactics! What did Missouri do to fight back? What worked and didn’t work?
They sat back, chewed their cud and said "Hit me again".
Kinda like after the bakers ripped us all off in 2008!
Should have kept Claire!!
The left was convinced that we could primary conservative Dems and win a Congress full of Bernie’s - to many still think this way
Weeks ago, I knew that what The Dumpster is working toward is declaring Martial Law - so only he rules.
And, yet, here we all are.
How did Missouri vote for him. The first term was terrible for the rural part of America. I will never understand it. Blue states send money to red states to help them and protect our food supply, and they vote against it?
Same here <- Floriduh
And there are still deniers that refuse to believe these things are happening in their communities all over the country.
Wake Up Americans, this is coming your way very soon if you don't stop it! Vote BLUE and stop the insane cuts from House Republicans!
absolutely. and yet people continue to vote for these idiots. infuriating!
They’re kidnapping innocent people & sending them to prisons, gitmo, & internment camps. By spamming ICE & other agencies, we’ll actually save lives. This is the least we can do to protect them. Our country picked someone who is bent on harming others. Let’s be unmanageable & make them fear us.
Me too.
The show me state has been shown. 💔
I would love to know more about Missouri’s story - what was the public’s response at the polls? Any repercussions?
So I guess in answer to your question, the public's response is mixed, but definitely not bad enough to get any of the bad actors out of state congress because, well, "I can't support a *Democrat*" while the rest of us (libs, cons, and mods) all look on in abject frustration and terror.
😢
We doubled down. Missouri voters continue to pass mostly-progressive ballot measures WHILE ALSO electing public officials who all but campaign on the promise to ignore or repeal those same measures. See abortion ban, mandatory leave, etc. I don't fucking understand it.
In MI, we have a Dem Gov, SoS, AG, state SC, & 2 U.S. Senators, the most progressive reproductive freedom law enshrined in our constitution, expanded LBGTQ rights, & new gun safety laws. Trump allegedly "won" MI. Make it make sense! The only logical explanation to me is that Trump/Musk stole it.
This is 100% accurate. Missouri voters just overwhelmingly voted for a bill regarding paid sick leave and the MO Senate just cleared the motion to overturn it. Fucking disgraceful.
Yes it is. Why do we even fucking vote?
I dont have a great answer as to to why we should keep marching forward. I honestly believe we will have to take it back without any hesitation.
Oh, I will keep moving forward. This infuriates me!
It’s a Missouri thing. They want those things but there is a clear disconnect in the brain about how to obtain it. Oh and racism.
The white people in MO hear nothing but harrowing, sensationalized stories about the crime rate in St Louis and KC. They identify democrats with that. It’s stupid, but it plays a biiiiig part.
This is incredibly important to understand. The state just seized control of St. Louis police. missouriindependent.com/2025/03/26/g...
My son really likes KC. But, he likes bigger cities, and he's a Democrat.
My parents were born and raised Missouri country folk. But they were also very eager to leave those lives behind when they moved into the city. Lost their accents and hated country music. But the rest of the extended family stayed in the towns they were born in.
Sounds like my family. Rural farmland. I moved to a bigger city. Will never leave. My son's dad (not my husband anymore) is still that way. He thinks something is wrong with his son. Boy, did I give him an earful when he said that.
Straight white “Christians” are so enthusiastically ready to fear and hate anyone who is not also a straight, white “Christian”. It’s been this way for 400 years, it’s a wonder it took us this long to rot from the inside out. 😢
Yet, MO let it happen(I say this as a former Missourian) because MO is Jesusland first and foremost and R's have been better at portraying themselves as the keepers of the faith and social order. MO will suffer badly because of the trade wars and of Ag isn't going well, the state isn't either.
Missourians are socially conservative and fiscally conservative people. They approve what liberal things they do when the cities show up to the ballots and the rural areas don't, or they happen to agree about something. Otherwise, the religiosity of the state predicts their policies henceforth shall
...be garbage.
Missouri is a bottom 5 state IMHO. Move out if you can.
And some of us left.
Then how did Missouri remain a red state? Brainwashing?
Gerrymandering. I live in a blue bubble, but our congressional district is so gerrymandered a Democrat cannot win. Our congresswoman has not appeared in a public forum ever in the 16 years she has been in office. We, in effect, have no representation.
The beginning of a coast to coast prison state
Once you've seen it, you don't forget.
I'm a blue dot in a deep red sea, jimmy jordan's ohio district. Repub party here has been corrupt as any in the nation for decades. As helpless a feeling as you can get. Recently, the mango a-hole cancelled 2 million pounds of food bound for Ohio food banks. Hardly a blip.
And if I understand correctly, that food was already collected, so it’s just going to rot. (Hi from the state just to your north, you guys are doing the best you can)
I make a trip to ypsi or ann arbor every couple of months. Always fruitful. Yeah, we are knee deep in it here. Toronto area is starting to look really good for a permanent move.
Love Toronto. Be prepared for a wait coming back over the border, we last crossed about a week before inauguration. American cbp was none too welcoming.
They don’t want us in Canada. Or anywhere else in the world, frankly. The time to leave was a year ago. If you missed the boat, you’re stuck here, unless you’re wealthy.
We aren't wanted anywhere. I was stationed in west germany 1981-84. Hurts that I'm not welcomed back for even a visit. Our soldiers did great work back then. Maga has ruined 80 years of others' toil, in a matter of days. Pains me what ive seen this admin do to this country.
I seriously looked at Canada back in late 2016. Was too old then, and not eligible for their medical.
I was in Boehner's district years ago..it was interesting.
Knock on doors; it’s the only way
I'm 63 and disabled, had a broken back (lots of hardware lol) Im going to do what I can. No excuses. I'm worried about soc sec among other things, but I'd don't have it as bad as some. I served in west germany under Pres Reagan. Voted for him 2x. This is nothing close to the repub party.
Thank you for your service!!
Have you seen what DeWine did today? (Hi from a sister blue dot in Ohio.)
Oh no. What'd he do, kat?
He signed that bill… ohiocapitaljournal.com/briefs/ohio-...
Ny son is a hs teacher/coach at a christian school. My youngest daughter teaches 4th grade at a school, that enrolls kids with autism and a just a few other dds. All the kids are highly functional and the school has a great reputation. They are afraid they are the next dei cut. Kids deserve better.
Yes, the jackass rubber stamped SB1.....blue dot in Geauga county
And Ohio is so ridiculously gerrymandered idk how that happened
Republicans cheat, that's how it happened
Former Senate Staffer @senategabe.bsky.social has organized a citizen's impeachment project, aiming to get at least 1 volunteer from each district who can be relied upon to send an email tomorrow morning. The goal? Pressure ALL of congress. We're almost there! Wanna help get Ohio done? 👇
Thanks to Gabe
God has hardened their hearts and that’s why we’re all scratching our heads trying to figure out what kind of viral brain rot to which they are succumbing. It’s incurable but maybe we’re supposed to flee across the Gulf of America. Where’s our Moses?
we need three AI models out of this one model tells us how much worse this can get. one model tells us how to block all these advances and one model tells us how to undo all this
yes, so much of what they are doing is a playbook they perfected in rural America and the American south in general. but there is a lot of beautiful resistance happening, and we can and must keep it up. bsky.app/profile/jess...
"We enter parliament in order to supply ourselves, in the arsenal of democracy, with its own weapons. If democracy is so stupid as to give us free tickets and salaries for this bear's work, that is its affair. We do not come as friends, nor even as neutrals.
We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come.” --Joseph Goebbels Minister of Propaganda laying it all on the Line c. 1939 Thedonolde felt no Need to Hide it either
Same in SW and western Pa. It’s very sad to see 75% collect some government check,and 73% voted against themselves by being republican, most don’t know how governments work,and trying to explain it to them is almost impossible. RW radio and newsmax are their outlets for info on politics, no reading
Project 2025..halt education for the poor,vouchers for the wealthy,send kids at age 12/13/14 to work the fields or meat processing like Arkansas and Fl. propose, then if there’s a war the uneducated are sent to fight and die, it’s always the way they wanted it, sacrifice the poor save the rich
Are the child labor laws in P2025? I wondered but hadn't looked yet.
WTF🤬
Wow. That's just disgusting.
Just like the Jews knew in Europe in the 30’s. I keep saying that silence will get you nowhere. If you’re going to be killed anyway don’t you want to be killed fighting for something? I’m reminded of the line from the matters. movie “The Lion in Winter”.
Prince Richard: [the sons - he’s here. He'll get no satisfaction out of me. He isn't going to see me beg. Prince Geoffrey: My you chivalric fool... as if the way one fell down mattered. Prince Richard: When the fall is all there is, it matters
Real question is, why did people put up with it? Did Missourians agree? Otherwise why not vote the bums out?
Missourians are stupid. They don’t seem to grasp the concept that you can’t vote R and progressive policies at the same time. Which we always seem to do. I swear I was so astonished and flabbergasted that Hawley got reelected after Jan 6. Everyone hated him and yet…..
So sorry...
Missourians voted for all that
They adopted MAGA style policies in Kansas with Sam Brownback as governor. A disaster that was scrapped almost as quickly as it was implemented.
But still voted red?
Yet these disgusting PERFORMANCE ARTISTS ARE STILL GETTING THE VOTES.UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE
This is troubling. If you all were severely suffering yet still voted for Trump and Hawley to get more of the same, I question if America is smart enough to get out of this mess.
Well, part of her observation is that they’ve rigged the system so they can’t get out of it. But yeah, we’re not a country of deep thinkers with critical analysis skills.
It's not.
I have also found some people have given up and do not vote.
And still right wing guys get elected like Josh Hawley! I just don’t get it
We tried to get rid of him. We came close. If we get another chance it might work after what Trump is doing. I think we all have work to do so that we can have that chance to vote. Grrrr!
And yet you stayed. 😢
Only way to change the state is from within.
I am trying here in NC! 😜
She stayed and does her damndest to make changes happen to help everyone in the state. Have some respect and get to work.
Yep. Me too here in NC! 👊🇺🇸🔥
I’m in OK with Ryan Walters and MarkfrickenWayne Mullin and I hear you loud and clear.
Did the people do anything when this happened?
No, we keep electing those who hate their constituents
Ugh 😩
Question:
Gerrymandering and corruption. Kansas City, MO doesn’t even control its own police force. (Legacy of reconstruction)
Here in Florida, too. Except the farmland... not sure they've done that.
The robbie vos led assembly in Wisconsin & the fitzgerald/leMahieu Senate have been trying & doing the here. It's insane the level of total disregard for the FUTURE of our children, which is the future of our very existence.
I knew because I'm old enough to remember, vividly, all the WWI and WWII movies and history and tRump and his MAGAts were easy to see! A huge part of the problem is people have not been taught history!
The south has voted this way and that. You still get breadcrumbs from your own table. I sometimes think Uncle Sam himself want you to stay pushed down until you're needed...
It sounds like a foreign entity has taken over.
It's the domestic enemy that's doing all the damage...even though he, and they, are being directed by a known foreign enemy... ...I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same...
Everyone here saw it coming with you.
This is the reason there is tax inequality. Voters making between $578k and 10M are taxed like billionaires. Most of these are small businesses. Let's push Congress to create 2 new tax brackets. $500M & Above and $1B & Above. These should be treated special since they want to be special. Tax at 91%.
It’s not like they kept it quiet bsky.app/profile/5nar...
Yet the gnomes keep voting these people in. This literally is what stupid acts like … 👏👏👏
Yep. They "showed" you, and y'all still voted for Sir Robin.
We did. It’s surprising how much of MO is in China’s hands.
This is why the aoc/ Bernie rallies and others need to go into these communities. The only way they'll hear the message is in person.
It starts with the most vulnerable states “red states” but the longer it goes that ripple effect will eventually be felt in blue states but when that happens many red states will be on the brink of homelessness, hunger & sickness. Per Jess, that could be the future of every state if we don’t fight.
Not enough of you knew. How do you get this into the brains of magas??
And yet they still vote for them.
That might be true in some places but you absolutely can't apply this logic to places that consistently vote Republican. They DID vote for this, they ARE blameable.
BOTH scenarios likely are true. YES, many people were fooled into voting against their own interests to satisfy their craven impulses AND votes WERE tampered with by nefarious back-end manipulation.
I agree with this that both scenarios are true. I live in a purple state and we have had D gov for the past 8 years (Cooper was wonderful). We voted hands down, no contest in the entire state for D gov again but had to wait weeks for final Prez race. How did R win all swing states?
In the swing states, yes. But not the 18.4 margin of Trump's win in Missouri. THAT's on the 58+ percent of Missouri voters who voted for Trump, and for the Democratic voters who stayed home or voted third party.
There are so many red hats, Trump flags and bumper stickers in this state you can't go ten feet without seeing at least one
You’re either not serious, or stupid. Elon didn’t make people wear red hats and show their racism. They did that on their own.
Similar story here in Nebraska. Dismissing the will of the voters is a biggie currently!
Missouri is lucky to have you, Jess, as are we.
The modern GOP= Charles Dickens meets Stephen King
In tone, sure, but that sounds entirely too well-written.
So true. Thanks for speaking up, Jess. We need good leadership to get through this.
I am an educator SWMO. The most insightful book I've ever read to describe the 🔴culture is A Framework for Understanding Poverty by Ruby K. Payne. It's fueled by apathy, suspicion of anyone different & lack of curiosity or encouragement to be the slightest bit different than your peers/family 1/2
2/2 I grew up rural poor, but my mom was a military brat who had seen the world. She instilled curiosity & a love of reading/learning. It opened my mind & made me want more. I was an oddity in my rural town. Most of my peers just followed in their parents footsteps & never learned to form an opioion
WV - we know too. Our lege is down to the little things left - religious & philosophical exemptions to vaxx and genitalia checking because wrecking the economy and schools is done & done. Love what you're doing. Thanks
We knew in Florida
Some knew, some drank the cult kool aid 🤷♀️
Same in Texas.
Same in Texas. The war against dei, educators, people of color, immigrants.
Yes we knew and millions still voted for them.
Should have learned.....their loyalties lie to their gluttony of money over people.
They knew. But he allows for them to hate the same people he hates. Missouri voted for their own demise. I will no longer feel sorry for red states, no matter who is suffering. In the end. It will be all of us. EAT THE RICH!!!
Same, in TN. When you’re an informed liberal in a blue state, you may as well be psychic. Red states are the laboratories of authoritarianism.
😢
If you are a resident of Florida, you have superpowers this weekend to change the US House majority. Please take time to Act. Volunteer to encourage the Dem vote to elect Weil and Valimont in Special Election FL-1, FL-6 April 1, 2025. Help this message go viral… www.mobilize.us?q=Weil%20val...
And still voted Red in 2024. So….
And still, your state voted for the Orange Twat Waffle!
Arkansan here, same thing happened next door.
Georgia's & almost all southern states have been tinkering with the shapes of our US Representative districts' shapes. Georgia is close to having an equal number of Dem & Repub voters, because both our Senators are Dems. Yet only 5 of our US Representatives are Dems & 9 are Repubs. Strange?!
Why does Missouri keep voting for Republicans?
2024--- Trump--- 58.5% ffs
We're only a cat's whisker behind you here in Ohio.
Yet it’s still happening and getting worse in your state. Your constituents are not getting the right messages. Or not getting them at all. We have the same problem here in Indiana. To many don’t listen to truth , or not at all , don’t vote and have been brain washed for decades.
🤬🤬🤬
And yet MO went Red, yes? You knew. Your friends knew..but the people of MO? Signs point to no.
I'm surrounded by Missouri farmers. It was a shit show coming.
And yet your state STILL VOTED THE FELON IN. Apparently, your state learned absolutely nothing.
I was born and raised in MO and left the state the day I graduated from MISSOU in 1978. I think Republicans were just getting back in power at the time. I wound up in CO and am happy to live in a blue state….but I’m aware that could change.
Why the hell do so many people keep voting against their best interests??
And yet Missouri continues to vote for those people? That's the highest level of brainwashing imaginable.
I appreciate your important perspective to share with others.
you knew and you voted for him anyway..
And they still vote red. Willfully ignorant. Are we great yet?👊🏼🇺🇸🔥
My friend in Oklahoma says same. Both states don’t get much national or international coverage.
bet a bunch of y'all voted for that rapist, too. from MO, myself.
I have to boycott Missouri along with Texas and Oklahoma on my way driving across country. Much nicer going thru Colorado Kansas Illinois. Anyway, hang in there girl. 77+ million of us out there.
Same in Wisconsin. We knew.
Take a look at Russia. That's tRump's inspiration. The oligarchs buy everything up after the economy crashes. Whoever is advising the moron - in - chief knows how to get there.
Red states thrive on social control and repression via oppressive, tyrannical religiosity; broken educational systems; and rampant racism.
Everything and everyone is for sale in Trump World.
Same as in Florida.
You and Sarah Kendzior @sarahkendzior.bsky.social
Have heard this same thing from people in various rural and/or Southern states. Those of us in comfy blue states have a lot to learn from you.
What’s your advice?
But that’s what happenea when you vote Republican. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Doing it in Indiana as well.
Talk about the effects.
I'm tired of the 🐂💩 & excuses. Let's call it what it is: Willful Ignorance. All the knowledge in the 🌍, in the palm of their hands, yet can't be bothered to do some research or actually learn something 😕. That's why pieces of shit keep getting elected... It's just too much trouble to bother. Sadly 😠
Yet Missouri still voted…
What do you think will fall next? And who’s picking up the pieces in MO?
We left in 2013...it was starting.
So... How's it going so far? Missouri great again?
and yet your residents kept on Voting for it...again and again and again...I am from Ohio, I get it....but i also got the fuck out when i got the chance. I recommend you flee for a Blue State with any family & friends with the sense to come with you... Start a Wagon Train.
You are not wrong Jess!! Not wrong at all.
We are in hell because of the willful ignorance of cult followers! The truth was in our faces. Too many CHOSE to vote for lies instead! Some Age of Enlightenment, huh?!?!
When I lived in a red state, I saw the same trend. I said, as red states go, so goes the U.S. Unfortunately, people in red states are pre-conditioned to accept this B.S.
And yet, MO still voted for this. Sad to see how deep the brainwashing goes.
Ditto in Texas
Ditto in Florida as well. FYI, I do not live in any of these red states, though I did have a gay friend from college who is an accountant and used to live in TX. His final straw with Texas was the landslide re-election of Greg Abbott over Beto O'rourke. He no longer felt safe nor welcome in TX.
We tried to vote hot wheels out…🤷🏻♀️
I'm sorry you didn't get enough other Texans to join you.
Same here. Also, I feel bad for Texans who tried to get Ted "Cancun" Cruz out of office. Seriously Texans, stop voting for sociopaths and start voting for people who actually care about Texas (Hint: it is not your current elected officials because they take advantage of you).
We tried to oust him as well. He didn’t even campaign like Allred did. Still won? Hmmm…
You got another opportunity to do so in 2026, if you still live in Texas. Also, Texas needs a serious candidate against Greg Abbott in 2026. Note to self, I prefer James Talarico runs against Greg Abbott, but I do not know if he is going to do it or not.
My friend from college now lives in Aurora, Colorado and he likes living in that state. He once told me on Zoom in late 2024, "moving out of Texas was the best decision of my life."
See also: the UK. Honestly, it's a shit Anglosphere the now x
Yet your State still voted overwhelmingly for trump. Is it the water? But, glad some blue dots persist in the show me state.
The ones I know will vote for whichever candidate is “pro-life”. Or they like the John-Wayne-style attitude trump portrays (those 2nd ones are also the racists)
It’s the poorly educated, religious right! Already identified as easily manipulated. Not a stretch that dishonorable politicians pander to this challenged demographic. Check out OK. Same.
Exactly. MAGA voters are figuring out they're the real targets of Red state politicians and MAGA GOP. It's worked out great for Red state politicians and MAGA GOP so far. MAGA is beginning to wake up.
Please let it be true.
We all knew bc they literally told us that’s what they were going to do. The American people are just dumb af and/or didn’t care.
Right on both counts. My eldest brother voted for Trump -- again -- even after being appalled by J6. My younger brothers didn't vote at all, even though I told them the consequences.
And yet they still voted for it to happen.
