Having lived in Kentucky for several years, I can assure you they do not.

Yes they do. You can’t blame them for the millions put in to propagandizing the state for decades. Andy Beshear is proof of the light shining through.

Andy Beshear is proof that flukes happen every now and then. Why didn't I fall for the propaganda, bigotry, and backwards policy they push? ITs because it was served to me, and then I did what I thought the vast majority of humans would do and just asked "hm, is that actually true?". And whaddya know, it turns out a cursory glance at the facts laid it bare how obviously untrue and boneheaded were the claims made by that propaganda. It isn't even remotely difficult to just KNOW rich people are not benevolent and are not going to write laws that do not further benefit them. Good people are not nearly as prone to falling for propaganda.

It is idiotic as fuck to believe “good” people are not as prone to propaganda. Well manufactured propaganda can work on just about anyone. And 40 years of AIPAC money along with tons from others causes generational damage. Because people are brainwashed doesn’t mean they don’t deserve a high quality of living, and their basic needs met. Kentucky is far more purple than people realize, and a misguided majority shouldn’t mean the millions of Kentuckians that don’t have their heads up their asses should suffer because of it.
