      Maybe 30 minutes away from the specific area where this disease originated, there’s a rancher with a sign on their fence saying something like “If you voted for wolf reintroduction, leave Colorado”. The other ranchers around that are raw milk reactionaries in one of the most heavily impacted bird flu states.

          You can definitely tell we had the second highest KKK population outside of Indiana. Even in the more progressive areas that made it a 2016/2020 Bernie state, Loveland was a sundown town until the 1970s. Their town signs used to read “Welcome to Loveland - Elev. 5000 - Nationally Famous Sweetheart Town - Won’t You Stay Awhile - Industrial Opportunities - Diversified Agriculture. We observe the Jim Crow Laws here.” There’s an entire town near there that’s known for its Nazi church, which is somehow more explicit than Loveland’s God’s Country Cowboy Church. Which is somehow not the only Country Cowboy Church.

      Even in Michigan they had to reintroduce the wolf and then as soon as it finally got to a slightly sustainable population they allowed chuds to go out and shoot them again. That way they can show it off to their s***** kids that they’re a real man.
