That guy is nuts. I don't listen to him. I hope that people realize he's just entertainment, and don't actually believe him. But, people are dumb. I don't mean that as a cut-down. I read before that the median IQ is something around 100, which isn't that great. So there is a large segment of people below that threshold.

People around here are a headache. It started earlier this year with the shutdown. There was such an uproar, just so people could go to Chili's. They didn't care much about the safety of the employees, or other patrons. It's like they just want to be waited on.

Then came the push to wear masks. People are a-holes about it. They take it as a threat and say it's an attack against their liberty. I've read reports of people pulling guns on businesses when they were told to put on a mask or leave the store. I will say, most people are finally wearing them, too bad it took 6 months into the pandemic.

My buddy is a sales rep, told me that he's visited clients in rural areas and gets shunned walking into a store wearing a mask.

Is empathy our greatest weakness as a country?

My honest opinion...Trump supporters have had 4 years of feeling like they can do and say whatever they want without any consequence. By now they feel embolden for even juvenile, or asinine behavior.

The state is changing, slowly. There's not any state income tax, so a ton of people are moving here. Alot of businesses from California. GOP won in 2012 by 16%, won in 2016 by 9%, won in 2020 by 6%.
