I've actually seen a shirt that says "I'd rather be Russian than Democrat."
At this point being a Republican should be considered synonymous to being part of a conspiracy to commit treason and be treated as such.
This is why some kind of civil conflict is likely. Because they are and either we are going to live in their republican hell world or they are going to make the rest of the rest of.us kill them to stop it. It is likely bc they will escalate to killing.
So have I.
I'm not even from the same continent and it hurts my head to think of how a party whose supporters are synonymous with highly patriotic rednecks are willing to continue supporting their team after they've shown a categorical willingness to sell out to the enemy.
Like... I truly think some big corporation has put something in our food or drink that is making us terminally stupid.
Maybe it's all the microplastics and PFAS.
Its the lead in the gasoline. Thats why the boomers are all crazy, they breathed that shit all their lives. Slow lead toxicity causes paranoia, delusions, lowers inhibitions, increases agression.
Overlay light airports (small prop planes still use leaded gasoline) with conservative microclimates and you'll see a correlation.
Gen X is actually worse off from a lead poisoning perspective than boomers because lead is much worse for babies/kids than adults. I saw a cool graphic once but can't find it. Here's a boring article though.

Well, your second paragraph has a major confounding factor ih that only rich people own their own planes.
Rich people tend not to actually live right next to municipal airports due to the noise as well.
A direct result of IRA/GRU/KozyBear(?), etc., disinfo and influence brainwashing social media campaigns.
Social media is a hellofadrug to the poorly educated.
So Ronald Reagan's grave is a gender neutral bathroom and a power generator? Wow!
