      There are a good number of Okies on here and Mastodon. Welcome!

      I actually think Oklahoma is a few years away from a blue tipping point, similar to the effect Denver has had on Colorado, where the urban majority has rapidly tipped things blue.

      The awful superintendent is low key the best thing to ever happen to education here—there is a bubbling reaction even within the right to react to him and Stitt’s policies. And turning around education is the only thing needed to stop “blue” families from declining job offers here. Which would cascade the social landscape rapidly.

        I hope Stitt opens people’s eyes a bit. Guy is the sludge at the bottom of a sewer pipe.

        Northern Michigan is about to have the same temp as Tennessee in the next decade. Blue states won’t be frigid for much longer and red states are about to swim in the humidity. Still, it varies quite heavily more by terrain than by lat/long.

      Transplant now residing in Oklahoma. I wish things would get better. It’s honestly almost an embarrassment to live here.

      I just escape that jail, moved to California, it’s actually shocking how much nicer it is.

      There’s a streep aweaper that comes through the neighborhood once a week, so the streets are extremely clean, and like, the roads are actually well maintained. Just from the like, extremely surface level things.
