So yeah, grew up in this exact area. Ive been monitoring the local news on facebook. Residents of the area are claiming we need more God/Jesus in our lives so this wont happen again.

Theres a reason I left this fucking place and never looked back. Its this bullshit, in this precise place.

People have nothing to hope for there, yet they consistantly vote against their interests. The schools are complete shit, more focused on how how "libruulll woke shit" is infiltrating education in counties that went 95% for Trump.

If you want to see just how GOP bullshit plays out and the damage it causes, look no further than Hugo, Oklahoma and Paris, Texas.

Theres no drug problem, its a lack of Jesus problem. That's the mentality of the powers that be in these areas.

Theres zero hope for people in this area. No good paying jobs. Companies refuse to invest in Paris, Texas because they have an extremely racist civil war statue on the courthouse lawn. The N-word is still used frequently and openly there in casual conversation.

When you have a populace with no future, the end result is highly addictive drugs.

So yeah, im kinda snickering at this disaster and the end result. These people created this problem and they are entirely too stupid to figure out how they got there.
