I was born in Iowa. My ancestors helped settle the state in the mid-1800’s.

What most people don’t know is that like most mid-western states Iowa has a very socialist, pro-union background.

I can recall my grandfather telling me when I was a small boy that we were Democrats. The Republicans were for the rich and the Democrats were for the average guy.

Most of my relatives who still live in Iowa are active Hillary supporters. They aren’t necessarily stupid. It’s just been bred into them.

IOWA— Idiots Out Walking Around. And my New England family pioneered a town there in the mid-1800’s. Their house is on the National Register. They were mill owners and owned a general store and were Democrats during the Civil War, which I never...to this day...understood. Did not own slaves but were politically involved for decades with the Democrat party. Go figure....

OK, then. They are simply woefully ignorant, and generally immoral and unthinking - just like my relatives who support the Hildabeast.

Look for the moral twists. They are there and can't be hidden.
