Have the day you voted for.
Just gonna put this out there, st Louis and much of the surrounding areas have large black communities. And between St Louis and Kansas city accounted for most of the votes for Biden and Democrats in the state. They didn't vote for this even if the empty land in the rest of the state did.
Well that sucks.
Then be better/smarter in the future. Don't condemn an entire state of people to shit just because you don't like how some of them voted.
That'd be like me unironically condemning all of Florida (even the normal people that live there) just because I personally don't like the governor/government of the state and policies they try to enact.
I think it's important to make the distinction that not everyone in a certain part of the map deserves whatever tragedies happen to them. People are complex.
As someone that lives in one of those two areas it certainly does. Even then as a state we voted to take dark money out of politics, raise the minimum wage, and increase sick days for people. But then the slightly over half of the population that is severely LED poison votes in Republicans. Who writes deceptive bills aimed at undoing the will of the people. Or now not even making that much effort towards it and just saying they will not implement what was voted for. Those of us that live here don't call it the state of misery for nothing.
