Wait, I gotta make sure I have this straight. Kristi Noem is an actual governor?
Of a whole actual state?!
How?!
She's been doing a bunch of things in a desperate attempt to get attention. Now that it's working, I doubt this is going the way she had conjured in her imagination.
she was a US Representative for two terms and state Rep for a term
she won by being MAGA and popularity. Also she pretty much trashed her dem opponent in the debates
She is hoping everyone forgets 2024 in time for 2026 re-election
@Kinnison It really seems bizarre to me that there is so much responsibility given to the governor role, and yet a person like her can be elevated to winning candidate.
Also "trashed her dem opponent in the debates" paints a meaningful picture -- the might-makes-right drive is so strong in the US.
@sumpnlikefaith Is South Dakota a real state or just that place Sturgis happens? We can thank Princess Death Dealer for many cases of covid too! Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota ignited COVID-19 outbreak in Minnesota, study finds - CBS News
@Tattoomonkey29 @sumpnlikefaith
South Dakota is really pretty. Idk how they got a governor with such ugly thoughts.
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine Ugly thinking voters? @Tattoomonkey29 @sumpnlikefaith
@Tattoomonkey29 This was a truly shocking chapter of history that revealed so much of what had been hidden for so long.
@sumpnlikefaith it sure is !
@sumpnlikefaith Yes, it's kinda like saying "Trump was an actual president?"
@Charles_Hawtrey That was the beginning of this particular shock.
I have great difficulty comprehending just that fact on its own.
I continue to have great difficulty comprehending how an entire country cannot see that this was an abject disaster. Indeed a significant proportion of the county wants it to happen again.
It's breath-taking.
@sumpnlikefaith Ok. But I've been in that state. Like a lot. And they put Greek salad dressing on all their tacos there so....
