    Suburban south Puget Sound. It’s filled with angry alcoholics who never had a life or a real chance and just vote Republican.

    I now am in a nice apartment in one of them there anarchic cities of whatever they were called during Lockdown, working for a university and living a life that my family hates.

      I miss Seattle. For 9 years I finally got to feel sane.

      Moved back to the midwest for good reasons but believe me we’re getting back out as soon as we can.

      You really described it well:

      t’s filled with angry alcoholics who never had a life or a real chance and just vote Republican.

      And no amount of reason or logic will get them to believe they’re being duped.
