As I have said before, it feels like an anomaly of history that MO’s governance hasn’t been more of a disaster prior to ’16. Since then, however, it feels increasingly like the red state party dictatorship has allowed the crazies to take the helm and they’re rapidly chewing through the walls.
My god…they just took 50 million from the general budget for vouchers going to private religious schools.
Now, another 100 million?

My dad was a city planner, and he used to play Simcity as a fantastical escape, to a world where cuts to infrastructure were met with righteous rage and consequences for elected officials.

I think the thing that disturbs me the most is that you've got *more* than one person in here admitting they don't talk about politics because The Community will sanction them.
How life changed in a rural town in Virginia that lost its sole health clinic after the passage of Trump’s megabill. The residents voted overwhelmingly for Trump in 2024, and now they’re suffering for it.

Something notable in this article is how much the life long locals don’t seem to give a shit. Which was an entirely predictable outcome if you've spent any amount of time among people like this

I spent over an hour this week arguing with a relative about why it is people can’t just put $5k down on a house and pay the closing fee anymore. I spend everyday having a conversation with someone in my office whose mental model of the world has not changed since at least 1980

When people sigh about “these communities are dying” what they fail to consider is that they are dying for very good reasons, including that the people who live there are doing their level best to kill their own community (and also other communities) every day.

the linked article about a rural community's medical clinic closing ends with a coffee shop owner proposing that the solution is to find a doctor to make house calls.
this is where the stuff about "engaging Trump voters" runs into the reality that a ton of these people are completely delusional.
