Try reading Blaine's FB page and then imagine the only way to be rid of him was his retirement, and knowing he'll likely be replaced with the same or worse.
Can't wait to get my family back out of this shithole state. KC, StL, Columbia, and Springfield are ok but the rest of the state are loud and proud white trash MAGATS steadily voting to fuck over the population centers where all the atate funds come from.
This state is so bad the only way we see progress is with ballot initiatives where gerrymanderign can't defeat the popular vote. And guess what the MO house and senate are working on right now. Yep, making ballot initiatives harder to pass.
Saint Louis has been held back as a city for decades because StL city is in StL county and is prone to the state legislature's fuckery. Like when StL raised the minimum wage for the city. State blocked it because...they could.
I'm trying to get out, but it'll likely be a while. Thankfully I apparently give off hick vibes, so I'm not personally treated too bad, but the majority of my friends are.
And they wonder why young people are leaving in droves.
Probably because they belong in a venn diagram with estranged parents that don't know why their kids have gone no contact.
