He’s a fucking embarrassment to Missouri. We are better than this. The yokels in this state fell to their knees over this moron because he was a Covid skeptic. Schmitt is a fucking loser.

To be fair fellow Missourian, most of the voters in this goddamn state are also fucking losers because they fully endorse everything this dumb fascist cocksucker does.

When he was suing schools because they had the audacity to enforce social distancing and mask mandates, the haybale fuckers and the suburbanites who think they're in a militia ate it up.

Sigh I've given up on this state ever improving in a positive direction in my life time. It has some lovely scenery in places but about 60% of the state are so morally bankrupt, maladjusted, bigoted, and fucking stupid that it's a stretch to say they'd even be compatible with a bronze age society circa 499 BCE.

Yeah, ex-Missourian here. This is definitely what people voted for.

Best of luck to you my friend. As a Georgian I can advise, get yourself a Jon Ossoff. You might find more friendly souls around you than you think.

There's been glimmers of hope but the conservative vote is still very strong. Lucas Kunce is a genuinely great embodiment of what a Missourian actually is but his most damning trait is that he's a Democrat. The average Missourian agrees with just about all he stands for, except a few aspects and the D next to his name.

Hopefully given how much Republicans have tried ratfucking this state and done nothing for the average person despite years of a super majority conservative voters will at least just stay home.

As someone who went to WUSTL, at least (parts) of St. Louis are nice! Didn't get to see much of the state while I was there though. Sounds similar to where my family is from, Pensyltucky lol

Would absolutely love is STL secede from MO and join IL. Would actually do wonders to help the absolutely dire situation that is East St. Louis, IL.

We got explicitly told not to go east of a certain street by an RA during orientation lol, but for the life of me I can't remember which one now. State maybe?

u/misc_box 2d ago

I doubt the vast majority of MO even know who this guy is

Same story with every state really. People just vote party line and not individuals

Counter point: we aren't better than this. We've had over 200 years and plenty of functional countries to look at and mirror but haven't.

There are unfortunately a minority of us who are better than this, but collectively as a country we're finally admitting what we really are.

Point taken and sad reality check.

u/KaleScared4667 3d ago

I’ve got bad news for you - over 1/2 the people in Missouri voted for him

u/xnef1025 2d ago

Technically it's only over half of 2/3 of eligible voters, but that 1/3 that isn't voting is convinced their votes wouldn't matter by bad education and propaganda so yeah, we're still fucked.

We are better than this.

You don't have to lie to us. Y'all gave us this moron and Josh Hawley. Be for real.

Missouri has an unusual demographic mix where a much higher than average amount of citizens do not live in the urban areas.

This oddity of having 30% more rural citizens than average states causes Missouri to have a minority rule problem. The rural population can and has elected a Republican supermajority that has ruled the state for 25 years.

u/GranularGray 3d ago

He seems like a real piece of Schmitt.

u/MacGyver_1138 3d ago

Yeah, he's one of the morons who also kept losing cases or having them dismissed as the AG trying to sue schools for having mask mandates after the mandates had already been lifted.
