I dunno. I asked why too. But not of McStain. I asked Arizona. Why? Why the fuck do you keep electing that fuck?
I just assume it has something to do with the hot sun in Arizona and they don't wear hats. Their brains are cooked.
You'd be surprised. Arizona has changed a lot over the years, it used to be a solid republican state. Many were farmers and ranchers, 'rednecks' etc with foundations of family and church. More of a traditional southern state. Now it's going more and more libtard, the disease of Californians flooding in trying to escape their 3rd world liberal cesspool and dragging their b.s. with them. An influx of hispanics, many illegals so guess whose side they're on. Lots of farmers are being pushed out via things like water rights and other crap.
I'm only going by what friends tell me who live there, as I understand it's changed quite a bit from when I lived there 20-25yrs ago. I went to high school there, aside from the typical jocks many were cowboys. They wore their riding boots and stetson's, drove their classic pickups to school, we had frequent rodeos. The consumer math teacher/wrestling coach was a rodeo clown. The guys took off their hat when entering a room, said yes sir and yes ma'am. They were all in church on sunday. I worked for several local farms and feedstores, one of the biggest local farms in the area closed its doors due to imposing regulations of water and land rights. Another big farm met the same fate. Housing developments exploded, ruining the countryside with huge expensive homes that weren't even sold and just sat empty for years. Local places like the red rocks that were once accessible to people for hiking and enjoyment were roped off and shut down access to people.
As to the illegals, my first job there outside of working on farms and feed stores was construction. Out of 30-40 guys in roofing, I was one of 2 white guys and one of only 3 that spoke english. The rest were hispanic, most illegal. I personally saw guys come in who pointed to job applications when they couldn't speak english and when asked for their papers and they shrugged we watched them leave the construction plant, walk across the street to the newspaper printer and come back in less than an hour. No shit, the ink was still wet.
I lived in a rural area and neighbors consisted of one older couple who had their horses there and helped run a trail ride outfit. Another older couple had acreage so they had place to park their semi and trailers. The next house away was an old leather faced cowboy who had cutting horses and herd dogs. We got a new neighbor on the other side of us who built a multimillion dollar pueblo 'style' home and he was the spitting image of Richard Simmons. He sat there in his short shorts on a lounge chair with an umbrella sipping his iced tea admiring the sweaty shirtless construction crew while they built his house. Needless to say things were changing.
Arizona was one of the last states to raise its legal drinking age from 19 to 21. Now they have two cities which have upped the min age for tobacco (and vaping) to 21. In many towns that used to be small/conservative the old families that have been there generations are fed up and moving out as the ghetto from metro areas like Phoenix find it too expensive to live so they move and spread out to the once rural towns. The crime problems went from 'old Jenkins is drunk again and causing a scene' and cow tipping to drugs, graffiti, vandalism. In the areas I was in it used to be a place kids were safe to take off on their bike, horse or go hiking, go for miles and be gone for hours. Now when a fellow classmate of mine goes to pick her daughter up from school she takes her 9mm with her and sleeps with a riot shotgun by the bed.
It's not about disparaging any particular group of people other than noting the drastic changes that came about. For anyone who saw the movie 'son in law' there was a drastic difference between Pauly Shore and the local people in the town. Imagine towns like that being overrun with busloads of 'crawls'. The ironic part is the people leave places like liberal California because they're sick and tired of the overregulation and b.s. Then they show up to new places like AZ and what do they do? They butt their nose in with places like town hall, city council, they start HOA's with ridiculous rules and weasel their way into things like planning and zoning so they can bitch about the farmers who were there to begin with - and start imposing livestock restrictions, contesting water rights and so on. All their bullshit follows them.
