No one with a brain ever "questioned" how. History has all the evidence needed

You cite a very crucial requirement that few people seem to have in abundance of late.

Republican governed states have the lowest rankings for education, health, and basically every measure of standards of living.

Poor, angry, uneducated. Trained to hate others, especially and specifically, democrats, lefties, and all things socialized.

Perfect obedient soldiers.

I'm in a deep red state. I'm poor, angry, but well educated.

I was raised to care about and respect others no matter their background and upbringing. I'm a social Democrat supporter. So what does that make me other than an anomaly.

It frustrates me to no end when people paint all the people in red states with such a broad brush.

You are not the problem.

What I said about red states is true. The states have those rankings, not every single individual.

I am also poor and angry. And educated. With an upbringing that taught empathy and service to others.

I sense an important theme here.
