    I get it. It’s hard to not get your hopes up, sometimes. But Oklahoma is DEEP red. I used to live in NW AR, and my in-laws live in Tulsa. I think your hope is misplaced.

      Eh, it’s the largest weed producing state in the country and also is likely to be one of the early mushroom states. Stitt in all his idiocy just sanctioned a massive market where psilocybin spore kits were sold by the pallet load.

      There is a lot more shadow wealth here that will make aggressive “progressive” choices because it’s profitable. The same is not true in any of the Deep South. The last time I was in Oxford, Mississippi, Uber was outlawed and there was 11:30pm legally enforced last call.

      OKC growth rate is very high; it is the place that will tip the scale ultimately.
