    I just wish conservatives on big plots of empty land had less of a grip on this country…if only we could merge Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, and the Dakotas while we give DC and Puerto Rico statehood.

    Wyoming is a shit hole so it figures it’s dominated by right wing morons. The tallest building in Wyoming isn’t in Cheyenne, it’s a 12 story dorm in Laramie at UW. The state is basically sage brush and maga posters. Wyoming could be the #1 producer of wind energy in this country but the yokel residents keep voting it down because the m’oil tookrjerbs crowd can’t read or think logically. If we had to get rid of a state completely Wyoming would be top of my list. There must be a ton of lead in the water out there.

    Nothing I said applies to Yellowstone. Yellowstone is beautiful.

    Wyoming today has a libertarian “leave me the fuck alone” type of conservatism. The push is to turn it into a christo-fascist conservative state like Idaho.

      Until you hit Jackson.

      Then it swings HARD into “Fuck you poors, I got mine.”

      It’s the wealthiest county in the US.
