    I miss Seattle. For 9 years I finally got to feel sane.

    Moved back to the midwest for good reasons but believe me we’re getting back out as soon as we can.

    You really described it well:

    t’s filled with angry alcoholics who never had a life or a real chance and just vote Republican.

    And no amount of reason or logic will get them to believe they’re being duped.

      Worse: they have been trained to act in their own disinterest, dressing it up in terms like “personal responsibility”. They are basically the monkeys dancing by the organ grinder.
