Trump was just in my region a few days ago, and lemme tell ya, we're living the things he's talking about. I was a Bernie Bro in 2016 and 2020, and for someone like me to be thinking about voting for Trump is remarkable.
While we're not a border state, it certainly feels as if we are, as our area went from one of the safest places to live in the country just 40 years ago, to a crime-ridden hellhole once they started bringing them in by the busload.
I've known so many people who are dead now, and many of the good have either fled or are planning to as its so dangerous here and in other towns in the eastern half of the state. They can say whatever the hell they want to about Trump, but unless they live in these towns, they have no idea how life changes when a federal migrant center opens up in your area. It's finally closed, but the damage has already been done.
