Democrats are the only politicians in RI, republicans make up less than literally 5% of all politicians at every level.

What's your source for that? For elected officials that apply to me, 25% are republican and I'm not even in a particularly conservative town. Burrillville has 4/5 town councillors affiliated with the republican party.

Shit man...affiliated? They are full-fledged Trump worshipers. The TC here is a bad joke, but they play to the residents. Burrillville is a beautiful town, firmly entrenched in the 1940's.

Thanks for the extra detail...I was being conservative (heh) with my language since I'm not familiar with Burrillville local politics and only quickly looked up the party alignments.

It's horrible up here in that regard. These morons (and by that I mean most of the residents) adore Trump, and hate anyone who doesn't. There is even one clown that drives around with 2 flags on the back of his truck...Old Glory, flying next to the traitor's rag. These ignorant fucks don't even know what ironic means.

Not sure if you heard that. But it was the point flying over your head.
