    You can't call yourself a conservative and vote Democrat. That stopped having any validity in the late 1960's.

    Maybe I'm wrong here but I think that's why places like California and New York have been hardest because they have more international travel
    .
    And the Seattle area as well. You are exactly right. That's why cities/regions with international ports/travel were hit first and hardest. NOLA I think got hurt hard because of Mardi Gras.

    It is the Southern States that the white libs truly hate. Because that is where the majority of Black Americans live.

    The Democrat party has been socialist for more than 100 years.

    Hey, have to ask, did you watch Tiger King?! I finally broke down and did. Do you remember Exotic Joe running for Governor? Anyone you know ever visited his zoo? What a crazy story!

    Because those States have the greatest income inequality, homelessness, and feces maps?

    I love the optimism, but I don’t think it’s going to change what is coming.

    I thought that only lefties politicized tragic events? Oops.
    You don't seem to mind your side politicizing every bad thing that comes along. I'm not politicizing anything. Just making an observation. A number here have attacked my state as doing to little to late so I thought I would return the favor.

    Not in Oklahoma. There is a marked difference between some of my beliefs and the totality of the beliefs of the governor of or state.

    Lol...no. I never heard of him until I started seeing the memes on Facebook: “I’m from the Outsiders part of Oklahoma not the Tiger King part.”

    “I’m from the Garth Brooks part of Oklahoma not the Tiger King part.”

    It appears that I am actually from the Tiger King part though I certainly don’t remember him. I saw an Oklahoma map with a red square around his part...and my house was in the square. I had to google him to find out who he was.

    Don't try putting words in my mouth. I am laughing that an idiot would make the asinine statement that 700 cases in one state is way above a state that is right behind. The death toll is an indication that one state might be be handling the virus better than the other.

    I can't answer for Top. Just like you can't answer for Mason.

    And not to suggest that because you live there you would know him or know who he was but was just curious.
