I attended a rural Missouri parade yesterday. There were no Republican floats. A win is a win.

Attended an event (AFP funded) with my districts representative explaining the BBB (blah blah lies) & come to find out I’m not the only anti this rep there. Out of 20ish people in attendance 5 of us didn’t vote for him. He did call us all out & told me he had ‘people’ who told him I hadn’t 👀.
