Stitt may have shot himself in the foot by putting recreational marijuana on the ballot March 2023. Stupid thing to do as even medical marijuana is creating tremendous problems for the state. I'll vote for him, but he's lost a lot of support because of it.
Oklahoma's got one of the highest rates of addiction per capita in the nation, and he wants to exacerbate it even further? Stupid.
That wasn’t too bright. Especially if by authorizing that ballot initiative he expected to get “credit” for it from the doper community, who would therefore support his re-election bid in 2022.
A Republican who panders to Democrat constituencies (dopers, racists, abortionists, welfare queens, Organized Faggotry, etc.) of any kind ABSOLUTELY NEVER reaps any net benefit from doing so — the microscopic number of votes he gains from the pandering will be offset and much more by the truckload of votes he loses.
In a state like Oklahoma, Stitt merely needed to avoid doing anything breathtakingly stupid and he would have easily cruised to a second term. But apparently he just couldn’t resist or got some hideously bad advice.
