7. Moved to Iowa for job

Embarrassed that I live where covid Kimmy, insurrectionist grassley, etc easily win.

The media here never calls them on their lies. Grassley gets away with votes against Medicare, ethanol, and wind power. The two biggest industry in Iowa. Never asked about the millions his farm siphoned off fed aid. Kimmy never asked about our high murder rate, higher death rate for covid, always asked about raw numbers...of course Iowa has fewer total murders than Illinois, the entire state has only about 25% of the Chicago population...but murders per capita, Iowa higher.

We underspend Arkansas on education now...Iowa used to be proud of it's schools.

Now it really is part of the confederacy....

And of course, how can anyone vote for grassley and his literally 50 years of voting to overturn roe and criminalization of abortion.

Ashamed to be an Iowa captive for a job in the IC corridor.
