1. To anyone who knows MO, this map comes as not the slightest surprise. You see,
in many ways Missouri perfectly resembles in miniature the United States: it has two Blue "coasts," KC & St Louie, with a broad swath of Red in the middle. Roughly half of the population is congregated around those two Blue metropolises.

This last election, as it did all over the U.S. writ-large, merely magnified those political and ideological differences state-wide.

2. ACK .....
I have family in West Plains, Willow Springs, Mountain View, Houston, and Springfield, where I lived for 15 of perhaps the worst months of my life ....

While it was extremely important that I leave that place, I think my other family members should stay in that all-enveloping red menace .... It would be proper ...

A North Jersey/NYC boy has no place being in the Ozarks ....

3. Weird that the "fallback" time change is putting our replies ahead of two posters who replied first.
It freaked me out, at first.

You could have grown up on the west west coast and have family in BFE Oklahoma, who seem like normal intelligent people, until they start saying things like "Democrats want to take away our guns"
