Townie, I wish it were that easy but this group of asshats were already at this level of stupidity. Trump just reinforced it.
It took a complete narcissist to do what Trump did. Nobody but he thought someone could get away with that kind of disregard for the standards and mores of our institutions and framework. He did more than reinforce it. He took it to a whole new level and I don’t see how one could honestly argue otherwise.
That is probably correct. I remember talking to a state senator in the early 2000’s and he told me there was a new brand of Republican that was coming that would make him look like a flaming liberal. How right he was.
I think back then voters in states like Oklahoma couldn't stand Democrats for being pro-gay rights and pro-government welfare had a lot to do with it. To this day, lots of conservative Oklahoma voters still don't think LGBQT and poor people are worthy of anything extra from the government because of who they are. After all, the vote for extended Medicaid lost in most of the counties. Democrats associated with being pro pot hasn't helped them. It all reflects why Democrats in most cases will continue having difficulty getting back into elective office. From the state house to DC it will be interesting to see how far extreme to the right Oklahomans will go along with Republicans.
