Oklahoma here. The last bright spot we had was late 2000s with Brad Henry. A Democrat mind you. After Brad? Republican majority rule for years and years. What happened to the state? Oklahoma is a perfect example of Republican leadership and we are seeing it on the national stage now. Sad.
We are 50th in education, not 48th. Can't even beat out Mississippi...
PLEASE Remember to vote REPUBLICAN so you can LOSE your SNAP Benefits, LOSE your ability to Travel during Christmas and HELP Kidnap Children! That's MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER then being Able to afford GROCERIES!
-Senator Mullin!
No, no. Those are all the necessary sacrifices so that you don't have to see those people in your neighborhood with darker skin than you anymore. It's a great deal!
The "he's a Communist!" shit isn't fooling New Yorkers anymore.
"Communist", "woke", "liberal" just words that mean "thing I don't like" to them
insert picture of car repair book cover "this engine is woke"
The oldie but goodie has made a comeback. "This engine is communist."
Doesn't help that they've been calling literally anyone with a D next to their name a communist or a socialist for decades now.
I can remember when I was a kid, "socialism" was something bad the way it was talked about, but I had no idea why. As soon as I was old enough to understand what it actually meant I knew that was bullshit.
And that's why education is communism to these assholes. If people know how to think they will see how terrible republican ideas are.
Republicans: "He's a communist!"
Dirty liberal/leftist/progressive New Yorkers: "Good"
Younger generations don't have the same Pavlovian response to words like communism and socialism, so I think these boomer-ass losers are in for a rude awakening if they think they can continue to lean on that tactic.
What they are worried about is that it works in new York. If it works there then they are gonna have to come up with a whole lot of new lies to convince their victims/constituents that it can't work in their home state.
They'll just lie about it working in NY and say it's not.
Say it's not, even in the face of irrefutable proof, and their brain dead supporters will eat it up and parrot it.
I don't see why that would matter, 'Everyone else does it but we could never do it here' has been americas whole thing as far as social justice goes for as long as I've been alive.
This post is horribly misleading. Oklahoma ranks last in education. https://www.oklahoman.com/story/news/education/2025/07/24/oklahoma-schools-ranked-nearly-the-worst-in-the-nation-in-new-study/85310196007/
Lol, thanks for that.
A senator that doesn’t know the difference between a communist and a democratic socialist clearly has no place in our government.
Mamdani has a pretty easy job in that these people have painted him to be the personification of Satan. He doesn’t need to do much to prove them wrong. If he keeps the city running and it doesn’t fall into the ocean, he’s already a roaring success by Republican standards.
He doesn’t need to do much to prove them wrong.
Nothing he can do will prove anything. Big Tech and Finance owned media will just lie over and over again. They'll never stop. New York's actual socio-economic condition won't be reported on, except in the most polarized "everything is horrible, please liberate our people from the tyrannical Mamdani regime" light.
You will be mentally tortured for watching TV or using the Internet until he is removed from office.
Jfc. Anything or anyone they don’t like is communism. Imagine if they saw ACTUAL communism. Their tiny minds would implode
The Incan empire would blow their minds. Note their economic systems were extremely egalitarian.
They don't even know WHAT communism actually is
Communism is when my guy doesn't get to run things. And the less control I have, the more Communist everything is.
Markwayne was named after his two paternal uncles. My guess is his mom didn't know which one was the actual father.
This guy's Wikipedia page shows that in his entire life, his greatest achievement is beating up 3 people.
His entire political career can be summed up as Jafar from Aladdin; he has a fetish for hurting people, but has evidently never done anything ever to actually 'help' anyone in his electorate.
If I ever became noteworthy enough to have a Wikipedia page, I would be downright ashamed to have his. How the fuck is this person an elected representative?
Oklahoma is as red as Massachusetts is blue. It’s just that kind of state.
Oh man. There's burns and there's going absolutely nuclear.
The fact that NYC has over twice the population of his entire state is kinda funny.
"This is gonna be really bad for you" says the senator in a heaping pile of his own shit.
Too bad BLM already burned New York to the ground amiriiight!?
Good response from "thejeffmann." As long as the Oklahoma Oblast is red run, it will continue to fail. The dumbfuck Mullin never met a true communist.
What does he mean by liberal states going blue? Aren't they already blue by definition?
Well, you have sky blue, dark blue and navy blue, and then you have scary liberal communist blue. They're not the same.
i think he means "I'm not gonna panic just because nyc voted the democrat in", even as he's literally panicking about that very thing.
Being normal and having human empathy and compassion is the opposite of being a Republican. Who knew?
Also, Democrats suck as well. They're beholden to the billionaire class, but don't seem to actively want to cause harm to the rest of us.
There was that study that shows the more right leaning someone is, the less empathy they have for people, animals and things outside of their immediate few circles (friends of friends kind of thing).
Democrats are essentially just republicans as well but with a bit of pink/green washing/performative action going on so.
They can be summed up as:
Repub: I don't care unless it affects me and mine then I'll bleat asking why no-one is doing anything about it.
Dems: I'll pretend to care but won't actually do anything to tackle the underlying causes but will nod caringly with a bit of a sad face
damm he got cooked so hard the kitchens on fire
