That or the system is trying to wake us all up from hyper-sleep by throwing increasingly impossible scenarios at us in order for our brains to wake up naturally.

Except we keep looking at everything and going, “yeah, that makes sense, fuck it” and just not waking up.

The machines are going mad trying to figure us out.

Yep, threw us into the 'most unlikely' universe because everything was supposed to be destroyed except for the active observer, e.g., you, because paradox.

Or at least that is the version I like to believe.

I don't know if you want an actual answer but this particular idiot's opponent was a millionaire whose entire campaign strategy was spamming people with mail pointing out he is not Boebert...so vote for him on that merit? He couldn't even make any statements on how he would help voters of this district or take a stand on any issues. He's running again so we'll see if he has learned anything.

This area (like so many around the country) is struggling. Outside of the die-hard Republicans who are a lost cause, people don't appreciate a rich outsider talking down to them. The frustrating part is during the Democratic primary there was another candidate who had a great, progressive platform that included healthcare, taxing the rich, environment, etc. He came in last 😭 So Democrats chose the status quo, and their candidate struggled to get people excited to vote FOR him rather than AGAINST Boebert.

I think this is a problem that plagues the Democrats on a national level and isn't a direct reflection of "stupid" rural voters.
