Welp. They won't be missed.

One of my neighbors, good solid 'Vangelists and such, and their 3 home schooled kids 6-8-10, are moving to Clancy, Montana. Had to ask why they would be moving from Illinois to where the hoot owls screw the chickens, and the missus told me that there were too many libruls here ( 86% of voters in this County went with that fucking orange clown in 2020) , and that they had to see to educating thier kids in good conservative values. I wished them well and then planted my 'HAPPY FESTIVUS' sign out by the flagpole. Hope they'll be happy!

That would necessarily mean most of us would decidedly NOT be happy.

Girls seem more or less OK but the boys? Think Jan. 6 types.
