As a current central-stater (I'm right about at the midline where things start turning into the southern part and people start to get that drawl in their speech), I have to agree. The people around here are generally helpful and have a decent head on their shoulders, although there are pockets of wokeness here and there that make one scratch their head. I also have to agree that watching the Republican reps from around here try to do anything is comparable to a simian attempting to fornicate with sports equipment. If we could ever get Emperor Madigan out of his seat, we might actually be able to do something with the state, but at this point his ass is going to die in that chair before he ever retires.
