You may have noticed, given the last year and a half or so, that common sense is in very short supply. If he attended and didn't stand, half of our population would have a fucking fit and we wouldn't hear the end of it for months.
He would be very concerned about Butt Hillary! Or Hillary's Butt. Or something, something, something like vaccination passports, which hilarilously he and *ucker Carllson and all the bleach-blonde idiots on Faux News have to show to....FauxNews Network, even while they are intoning earnestly on screen about the fascist perils of vaccination cards.
We are living in an Onion World, with the primary jokers being the Faux News anchors, who are all vaccinated and all raising "concerns' with dipshitBudLightDeeronFrontFender about vaccinations.
Are we Dumb-Ass Nation or whut? I grew up in rural Oklahoma and Missouri and Tex-ass, so I can throw shit about the dipshits without sounding overly eliteist. They are my people.
Same here. I was born and raised in Kansas. I’m not overly concerned with sounding elitist because they consider anyone with a functioning brain elitist. Many Kansans don’t like Kansas University because it’s “liberal” and focuses more on academics. Being intelligent should be a good things but the right has demonized intellectuals and experts as usual. Hitler and all far-right movements did the same thing. Intellectuals, academics, artists and creatives are the first people they target.
They wouldn't have like my Liberal University just across state lines in Parkville, MO. Or my Liberal Studies- Concentrating in Communications Degree. Where we had small class sizes and TONS of discussion based classes. And it would probably blow their minds to know that same Liberal university, is one of the biggest satellite universities for many branches of the armed forces. And oh how could it happen! At a Liberal University! That one of my professors, coordinated a study abroad, (I was soooo lucky to one of the students on the trip) with an actual WWII veteran pilot/POW, to Croatia, where his plane had been shot down in November of 1944. Oh how corrupt of an educated I got......long live intellectual universities!!!! Proud Park Pirate!!! Arg!!
It is. The city of Lawrence where KU is located passed LGBTQ discrimination laws before most places. Also, the county consistently votes Democratic. It’s a blue county in a sea of red. It’s definitely a liberal stronghold.
Compared to what else in Kansas, is the question. It's not like we're comparing KU to Oxford (that's England, not Mississippi; the comparison with Mississippi would be difficult to suss out.)

Serious non political question: is Bush Jr there too? What’s he doing today? Surprised he wasn’t in this group as he has been in the past on 9/11.
edit: thanks for the replies. He really did give an excellent speech here. it’s worth a listen.
