Good ol’ Iowa, one of the few shamelessly voting Trump. 😓

Back in my day it was an up-and-combing purple state… and remember how quickly they permitted all-gender marriage?

That’s what I moved here looking for. I blame Trump, honestly.

  1. baller-ass username
  2. Is Trump to blame or are his voters?
[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 2 points 5 months ago
  1. Thanks!

  2. I see Trump as a flim-flam man playing on people’s fears and frustration with the system. However ignorant his rubes are, he’s still selling snake oil and that’s the real crime. I mean, he’s done it many times in many different venues and markets, can you blame poor simple Iowans for falling for something he’s clearly a pro at?

And just fyi I would have asked the opposite question if you blamed Iowans bc I have no fucking idea how this version of the fall of Rome works
