We know people who live near Des Moines and they have declared they will not set foot in Des Moins and discourage anybody from visiting it.
I’ve posted this several times but I was driving for Trailways in. ‘08 and at the Iowa City University stop an activist group put 25 or so “immigrants” aboard my bus with pictographic instructions on how to vote. I assume that they had already voted in Iowa.
There’s a lot of left wing crap in iowa. The farmers all like cheap illegal aliens for ag work. The state has a leftist history or communes. And the farmers all keep their mouths firmly clamped on the government nipple for the wasteful alcohol farming so they push global warming.
Iowa plays middle America, but its a leftist place in many ways.
