    Being normal and having human empathy and compassion is the opposite of being a Republican. Who knew?

    Also, Democrats suck as well. They’re beholden to the billionaire class, but don’t seem to actively want to cause harm to the rest of us.

      There was that study that shows the more right leaning someone is, the less empathy they have for people, animals and things outside of their immediate few circles (friends of friends kind of thing).

      Democrats are essentially just republicans as well but with a bit of pink/green washing/performative action going on so.

      They can be summed up as:
      Repub: I don’t care unless it affects me and mine then I’ll bleat asking why no-one is doing anything about it.
      Dems: I’ll pretend to care but won’t actually do anything to tackle the underlying causes but will nod caringly with a bit of a sad face

    Good response from “thejeffmann.” As long as the Oklahoma Oblast is red run, it will continue to fail. The dumbfuck Mullin never met a true communist.

    Let me send him to my family back in China and Vietnam so he knows what COMMUNISM truly is! What a dumbass!

    They are like 48th in education, the DUMB leading the DUMB! 🤦🏽‍♀️ (what Drumpf loves, uneducated people and stated it-hence why dumb votes for dumb via misinformation and fb propaganda), case and point.

    People need to use critical thinking skills and research vs just blindly believing fb posts! It’s honestly embarrassing!!

    He doesn’t even understand the difference between, “Communism vs Socialism”. 🤦🏽‍♀️

    You can’t fix stupid but only can try to educate the dumb!

    A senator that doesn’t know the difference between a communist and a democratic socialist clearly has no place in our government.

    Oklahoma here. The last bright spot we had was late 2000s with Brad Henry. A Democrat mind you. After Brad? Republican majority rule for years and years. What happened to the state? Oklahoma is a perfect example of Republican leadership and we are seeing it on the national stage now. Sad.

      As a person who knows little about Oklahoma from the States, I feel since the dust bowl and the native americans being “sent” there, it has been one of the least funded per capital states from the federal side of things. I can’t remember many projects at all that have started and weren’t sucked up by bordering states or someone like Texas simply because “we know who texas is, and they have people” or some shit. Oklahoma I’m sure could be great, we just need people to care about the people there

      i think it was kentucky , the only reason it had a dem govorner is because a fully controlled R state wouldve ruined the state economically. because the last R gov did, they wouldve never allowed a D gov to run in a campaign if it wasnt for thier previous R actions.

    Give them the same agreements people made about Trump in 2016. He’s an outsider. He’ll run it like a business. Give him a chance.

    PLEASE Remember to vote REPUBLICAN so you can LOSE your SNAP Benefits, LOSE your ability to Travel during Christmas and HELP Kidnap Children! That’s MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER then being Able to afford GROCERIES!

    What they are worried about is that it works in new York. If it works there then they are gonna have to come up with a whole lot of new lies to convince their victims/constituents that it can’t work in their home state.

      They’ll just lie about it working in NY and say it’s not.

      Say it’s not, even in the face of irrefutable proof, and their brain dead supporters will eat it up and parrot it.

        Just like how they just lie about how America is apparently great again now. Everything has been amazing and perfect since January, and there’s nothing he could be doing better. Food prices are all down, gas prices are super low now. We’re all winning. Believe what you hear, not what you see.

      Yeah, no. They aren’t worried at all. They’re just towing the line and trashing the other party as per their sides usual antics. Whether NY succeeds or fails, Republican constituents are simply too fucking dumb and loyal and will swallow whatever bullshit lie their party tells them. Worrying about what lie to make up is the least of the Right’s worries.

      I don’t see why that would matter, ‘Everyone else does it but we could never do it here’ has been americas whole thing as far as social justice goes for as long as I’ve been alive.
