Best Part of Living in a Red State?

[avebury]

111. I was looking for somewhere that had a

decent size city and lower cost of living. I am stuck here until I receive retirement age (if I want to have a decent retirement check). I should have known better as my parents were both originally from Oklahoma and I grew up hearing about Oklahoma politics.

When I first moved here there was a better balance between democrats and republicans but over the last few years it has tilted to blazing, bat sh*t crazy colored red. It is actually become scarier each year because more and more people are buying into the tea party/Fox reported ideology which is insane to say the least. What is even more insane is that I recently saw a chart that showed the change in the number of Republicans, Dems, and Independents and there are actually more registered Democrats in Oklahoma then Republicans and it is the Republicans that are getting voted into office.

There are some nice people here but it is truly like living in a third world country with a Fascist style of government.
