As a native Pittsburgher, yeah I agree.

It's funny, because my best friend and I are on opposite sides. I never really voted until now (if I vote down here in FL, I'm going Democrat). He and my Dad are Republican, but his Dad is Democrat.

My friend was in it mostly for the business side of things (more money for him, high in the company), though he does not always agree with stuff the republicans follow and gives Biden credit where credit is due. My Dad liked Trump and any Republican, but also likes the business-side of stuff and was (when I was younger) a well-traveled international salesman, so he was never foaming at the mouth like the crazies.

My family is very back and forth but will call out the crazy ones when they see them. But I still shake my head sometimes.

I love my home state but god damn do I wish it would get with the times. It's 2022. There is no reason to fear anything. Unless a militaristic alien race comes barrelling down from the skies, then you can fear.
