    But those state election boards have to survive too. They have to live amongst the people that hate what’s going on? I’m not sure. I’m also not saying you’re wrong. I just don’t know.

      The Regime might have a generous vacation policy for their election boards. A free trip to Mar-a-Lago or Alligator Alcatraz, depending on your affiliation.

      i don’t think so. you don’t attain to a position that high in the state government without having resources/connections (read fucktons of money), which means you don’t have to live around or even look at the poors

          progressive people want someone who’s smarter than themselves to lead. conservatives want someone who’s exactly as dumb as they are. which is, as you say: really really fucking pants-on-head stupid

          this is also why words like “progress,” “education,” “expert,” even “science” have become pejoratives to them
