That's one state Drumpf will carry for sure.  How did so many assholes get in one spot.

Getting sued, not having to pay for it, making voters angry (but, ironically not at them)... what's to lose?

And then they have an excuse to cut social programs even more in order to pay for the law suits.

Republicunt heaven.

It's a win all the way around for them. The only risk is that the voters realize what they're doing.

I'm thinking about how many human brains had to atrophy in order for this shit to transpire, and I'm gobsmacked. What the fuck, Oklahoma?

There must be some sort of gravity well that attracts dummies to certain States.  Look at the South and the other Red States.  Dummies, dummies everywhere.  It can't be random.

Not likely with those voters.

Hence the smiley.

You've made the mistaken assumption that people there aren't just brainless pieces of shit.  There's a lot of those in this country.

I lived in Oklahoma City for a bit over a year, just out of college. It's where I got my first "real" job. That place scared the shit out of me. I took a shittier job with a shittier company just so I could have them pay for me to move to another city, after I literally got into a fistfight in traffic (having first jumped off my motorcycle as the guy got out of his car and charged at me) because I laughed out loud at a bumper sticker that said, "I believe in the Big Bang: God spoke and BANG!, it happened."

Seriously, that place is appallingly bad, in terms of rabid, terrifying levels of fundamentalism. And I'm from the Deep South! Downtown OKC literally lights up its skyscrapers at night with the office lights in the shape of crosses, which can be seen for miles as you approach that flat city on the interstates that cross there (I-40, I-44, and I-35).



My ex-GF and I used to have a game we played, while we lived there, when we went out to lunch. If we saw more than two Jesus fish or anti-science bumper stickers on the back of the cars in front of us at a stoplight, on the way to go eat, then she bought lunch. She agreed to the bet because she thought I was just making it up. Instead, she wound up buying lunch almost every time, and finally called off the bet.

And, of course, with their insane levels of religious fundamentalism comes extreme poverty, high teen pregnancy and STD rates, a corrupt criminal justice system, and overflowing prisons that are literally worse than those found in many third-world nations.
