Been trying to wrap my head around the resurgence of COVID in Missouri.

I grew up in rural SW MO. in the 50's and 60's. I had no idea that the seeds of this current batshittery were present then. How does a community move forward when a solid fraction of the people there have shown a death wish for themselves, their family members, friends, and everybody around them?

1. It is everywhere.

No state is safe

2. Low intelligence/substandard education/irresponsible/racism/angry people acting out/death wish. ????

I am trying to figure it out too.

3. I grew up in the same area, same era. I have a hard time comprehending that attitude

just as I do where I live now. I don't understand the denial of science or the resistance to common sense.

4. I lived in central MO in the 60's.

I, too, am shocked as to what has happened to MO.

5. I do get it myself.

White people so angry and willing to kill themselves.

6. 30 years of talk radio has made haters out of a significant portion of our population.

If it wasn't centered on Covid, it would be something else. Their golden boy was able to turn a medical issue into a political issue, with his people on one side and you on the other. Nothing matters but winning, even if a million Americans end up dead.

I see it here in the Deep South...in spades.

7. Low IQ MAGAts.

8. Misery has been like this for past 30+ yrs I've lived here
