former USArmy Capt. Harry Hardman — who lives right up the road from Ft. Liberty/Bragg seems to have gotten a heavy dose of #MAGA radiation before going bananas and murdering his neighbors — and their dog.
@Kinnison You have to ask, how much of the command cadre is a ticking bomb?

Another MAGA person, a former mayor in a small town in Minnesota threatened to kill University of Minnesota students this weekend but swat officers arrested him before he hurt anyone. Why students?

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @TwiHusband @Kinnison Having lived in a college town I witnessed just how much the locals dislike students. In fairness to locals, students tend to come in temporarily and make permanent changes that locals are left to live with whether they like it or not. However, locals need to remember that students drive their economy. We won’t talk about riots after a sports team loses (or wins) that causes much property damage, we several of those.
@cjcrew @Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @Kinnison Depends on the town and the region. I worked for the University in a medium sized city in Ohio for 28 years.The locals were cool with it. Same up in Ann Arbor, another college town.
The problem is the cow colleges. Rural people are generally intolerant of education, especially any education that doesn't support their prejudices. "Jesus may love you, but he says I can, and should, hate you."

@cjcrew @Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @Kinnison I live in Kentucky now, in a rural area that is rapidly turning non-rural, & I see it every day. The yokels are angry & bitter. They could give a flying fuck about industrial development or their tax base. They want their dry county and their KKK power back.
Economically it's the same as the migrant labor these idiots need to work their farms. They elect Nazis, and wonder why the migrant fieldworkers stopped coming.

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @cjcrew @Kinnison Oh, the racism too. I work retail part time to supplement retirement. Had a teenage white boy working with me. One day he was spouting his take on relationships. Said he wanted a black or biracial girlfriend. Why? I quote, "Because they're easier to control and less trouble". These rural white kids have seriously fucked up ideas about humanity and their place in it.
