I was a poll worker for the Presidential Election. I live in a VERY blue county in a red state. I know how the county as a whole voted. I was a bit surprised at how the precinct I worked voted. Heavily red. If there was any fraud going on, it was in the vote counting machines or happened after we packed up the paper ballots. I didn't see anyone trying to vote with a 4 month old utility bill as ID. That used to be acceptable in Missouri, but they changed the law in 2022. A list of acceptable IDs 3 pages long was reduced to: A Missouri Driver License/ID Card, United States Passport, or a Federal ID with a Photo and Expiration Date. I do believe that cut down on voter fraud in a significant way. I did check to see if number of ballots "counted" from my precinct matched the number we turned in. Spot on. No ballots mysteriously added to the count. The more transparent we can keep the voting process the better. Thanks to everyone out there who voted. Make our voices heard!
The local rag was "aghast" 56% of the voters went for Trump.
They are still in denial.
It would be funny to watch except, while we think they are people with bad ideas and ideals, they think we are bad people and no amount of cajoling will convince them otherwise.
My nephew (recently graduated college) has unfriended everyone who even hints at supporting Trump, according to his mother. I wonder how much longer he will be able to tolerate living at home with his girlfriend in the basement?
the county I live in is disgustingly "progressive."
one of three dingy blue blobs on the Missouri election map.
the city government kowtows to the WEF Schwabstika and Greenwashing Scam as well.
I still see a lot of pro-rethuglican flair on vehicles and in yards though. American flags, bumper stickers, yard signs. it's not just the demoncrat wing of the Uniparty represented here even if they do "win" most of the sElections in this county.
Thank you! That was interesting. Also reassuring...We moved out of all-blue Massachusetts. Just...couldn't...take...it...anymore after the COVID op rolled out.
Seeing the entire "cradle of liberty" swathed in blue? What a freakin' joke.
Your moniker ironically applies to this post, as it really doesn't involve FunTimes!!
I reside in Blue Virginia, my district was gerrymandered blue, with the mostly red all around who don't care to get involved. I don't have the capacity to try to change others' minds.
I recognize the inertia: I am the inertia, and I feel shame and despair. All my female friends (with college + education) voted with a bleeding heart and zero common sense. They believe in Experts. They let Experts "raise" (I mean lower!) their children. They defer to the Expertocracy on health, education, information and governance. They have good hearts but weak minds and are proud of their "good" opinions. Four years of this dismissive behavior sabotaged any reason for me to do more than pray for them. It's a pearls before swine thing.

P.S. We're in NW Florida. Red as red can be.
