I used to visit an old friend who'd been transferred to KCMO (Kansas City MO) for several years - a great city in many ways, but the hatred of all things liberal, and the racism of many of the locals with whom she worked (throughout the state) really upset her. Typically these bigots were minimally educated and abysmally untraveled. In other words, so very easily manipulated by fear-mongering Republicans.
2 of KCMO's 3 congressmen are Republican.
