        Educational prospects in red states were a bleak proposition before.

        Pretty soon large swatchs of the country will be barely able to read the ballots.

          Elections? Pfff, who needs those? Trust the glorious state to fulfill all your needs without you having to lift a finger. The party is one and is all encompassing.

          Requiring choice is doubting that the party is truly good.

      GOP desperately needs to show reduction in gov spending. Even if it hurts rural conservatives more than others, and even if it has higher hidden costs.

      Local programming (hyper-local news, alerts, announcements) will go away and be replaced with pre-recorded programming.

    MAGA is basically a screaming toddler at the beach, running around wrecking everyone else’s sand castles because they never bothered to build their own and don’t like seeing other people happy.

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
