    Missouri is deeply stupid. But not “conservative”. And I say that as a lifelong resident. Talk about any liberal, progressive, or possibly socialist policy in isolation. Most Missourians would find them favorable. The biggest trick is to avoid their programmed triggers. If you can navigate around their programming. You will get rational and reasonable responses most times. But that’s the trick. So many of them are so heavily programmed and tightly wound. That rationality is almost a foregone conclusion out of reach.
