When I lived in Missouri 10 years ago it would never have elected such an idiot. A state that brought decent thinking people like Thomas Hart Benton, President Truman, Roy Blunt and Claire McCaskill. There was a saying what goes Missouri so goes the nation.. this will never be true again. Thinking is secondary to outrage in this state. They have been outraged since Obama was elected.

- ascendantlogic 5y agoElecting a black president permanently enraged a lot of hateful people across the country. We're going to be dealing with the fallout for a long time. To be clear I'm not saying we shouldn't have, but I think we underestimated just how many people in this country would react very badly to that from a political standpoint.
- indig0g0 5y ago> There was a saying what goes Missouri so goes the nation. That should scare every American. I can hop on a plane and be back in my country in about 5 hours, but what are you going to do if the whole country keeps trending the way that state is?
