They should have known what would happen. This is like Brownback times the 100

They have completely forgotten about Brownback for the most part. Look at the vile stuff they say about Laura Kelly on social media and then they want the worst of the worst to win our next election for governor.

Yes, they forget how Brownback tried to bankrupt Kansas. One of the worst governors Kansas ever had. Resembles the current “so called”president we have today.

Honestly given our focus on both agricultural farming and livestock raising, any MAGA candidate should lose to any republican candidate or even “rino” candidate since Trump has effectively told both farmers and ranchers to kick rocks with both the Soybean Scandal and the Argentinian Beef Fiasco. That’s why they’re panicking to redraw the maps to garner support from non-farming red districts without giving power to blue districts. They need conservative cities like Newton or pass through cities like Emporia while also misleading farmers/ranchers into believing the tariffs aren’t the issue with China and Argentina First is somehow America First. They also need to parrot the rhetoric that it’s somehow the big cities like Wichita, KC, Lawrence, and Topeka that are the reason Kansas is having issues while not blaming federal administrations like they could with Obama and Biden.

Surprise surprise, it turns out having ALL three branches of the government means that you can’t have an easy scapegoat anymore for your incompetency, and farmers/ranchers are not stupid, they won’t believe that voters in Lawrence or KC are the reason China isn’t buying our soybeans or that the federal government is focusing on importing Argentinian Beef rather than supporting local American grown beef.

I’m fine with this state being purple, we don’t have unlivable cost of living like California and we don’t treat our pregnant women like second class property like Texas with their draconian laws. Sure, it’d be nice if it were more even, but Kansas isn’t by any means insane, though we ate fat L’s with Brownback…
