I travel the entire state for work, and I see about 50/50 mask vs no mask, but first hand accounts of bars being filled to capacity during move in week is when the numbers started to spike again. Remember, we were the state that kept sending that POS King to Congress every election. Ernst, Reynolds, all beholden to tRump. A big part of it I blame on all the AM stations that run RW radio all day long along with faux. I also see a lot of racism in this state mainly in the rural areas...lots of Confederate flags flying around.
I dont think theres a single answer why there are do many cultists here, but I'm hoping the larger cities come through and cancel out the rural vote. There are more of us than them, we just need to GOTV.
