Iowa’s elections have been predicated on concern, prejudice, and ignorance. Let’s start with concern. Iowans have been led to consider we wanted to move strict scrutiny into the structure to guard ourselves. From what? I have not seen any marauding bands of immigrants wreaking havoc, it is paranoid, anti-government militias posing the most important risk, Disgrace on county sheriffs who endorsed the modification, what get together was in cost when police have been overwhelmed in the course of the rebellion? Extra weapons actually make lives safer. The subsequent modification ought to embody hitching posts, and water troughs for horses.
The prejudices of our elected Republicans have led to makes an attempt at censorship, and legal guidelines discriminating in opposition to individuals not like them. Maybe we must always ban the Bible, its themes embody homicide, theft, adultery, homosexuality, infanticide, and idolatry. Kim Reynolds, Mark Cisneros, Chuck Grassley, et al, you will need to detest your neighbors, such pious hypocrisy.

The demographic voting for Republicans was 71% uneducated, no post-secondary schooling. I’ve all the time theorized Kim Reynolds anti-public schooling agenda discriminated in opposition to educated individuals who largely vote Democrat. As an alternative, she aligns herself with a person (Donald Trump) who’s an anathema to democracy, and a most cancers to our nation. A person who’s a liar, lady hater, racist, and borderline treasonist. Kim Reynolds does not run the present, analysis the Koch brothers to see who’s in cost. She submits to the rich, to not her uneducated constituents incapable of purpose, and impartial thought. Iowa stays within the nineteenth century, against ahead pondering progress.
