We're not far from IA. We get their news. I follow their news pages on the book face. WQAD and KWQC. There's a 3rd, but for some reason they never come across my timeline. WHBF is the CBS affiliate. Check out the crazies on the first 2. I think there's local chapters of white nationalists, I think a group were at J6, they love conspiracy theories, and mostly, some of the them are trumpies. Huge gun nuts, would rather shoot someone than ask questions. I hate going to IA anymore because these people scare the crap out of me with their loony talk.

Heck of a deterioration in a state that elected Tom Harkin. They even sent a visibly senile Chuck Grassley back to the Senate rather than elect a highly qualified and competent centrist Democrat. I fear that some of these places may be a lost cause, at least until the MAGAs and the Christo-Fascist SCOTUS come for them, or their children. And you can be sure, they will come for them. As Patt says above, it may be birth control, but more likely it will be when Social Security, Medicare, or in Iowa, farm subsidies are slashed.

From what I saw, farmers in IA were behind trump. Laughable, isn't it? This abortion law Kimmie is rushing through, is merely a blip to too many of them. I saw they only had 2 hours of comments from IA people. 2 hours! What typically would take 2 weeks or better of debate, is being rushed so quickly. They're expected to vote by 11 PM, central. I haven't heard anything about this being a referendum that will go before the people and they'll vote on it. No, politicians will decide what's best for women's health and their reproductive rights. IA says they don't have any. Grassley is an idiot if there was one. I read their comments about President Biden being old and I asked about Grassley. Crickets. IA people (some) still believe they were better off under trump than Biden. There is no discussing anything with them, they immediately call me every name in the book and some I've never heard before. It's the only place I've stopped informing the misinformed. As for SS, Medicare or anything slashed for that matter. It will because of libs. Everything is because of libs. Earthquakes, hurricanes, price of gas, house prices, their dog dying. There is no such thing as climate change. That's something a lib made up to try to scare people and they're not falling for it. Honestly, the idiotic things I've read from those news pages! Smdh

They will die homeless, jobless, starving, sick but happy because they owned the libs. These people are beyond redemption.

Owning the libs is ALL it's about for them. Kook-aid aplenty in IA.
