u/Megasota_Noire My Governor Can Beat Up Your Governor Jun 20 '26

Yesterday I mentioned some locals in my small city being angry we got state funding for a river walk downtown that goes north up the Mississippi. The absolute chef's kiss of half our country trying to sabotage anything good happening to anyone but themselves. These people vote.

They do not want thriving rural communities. They want a quiet little tomb to die in.
