The only reason he is where he is? His dad started a plumbing company in OKC. He has inherited everything he has and while he probably knows a bunch about plumbing. He knows shit about leadership and just about everything else. In Oklahoma. If you run with an R next to your name, you automatically win. All you really have to do is find a county or area with little R competition. You won't lose to a Democrat and most of the time, you'll be running unopposed because dumping cash into a campaign as a Democrat is a huge waste.

I've lived in the state basically my whole life. This place is a Republican shit hole, and a religious hellscape. People here only care about religion and are sold on the Republicans being the only party representing them.

It's no wonder this state is last in just about everything. Decades of Republican super majority have driven this place into the ground. Yet people still run to the polls for these fucks.

If anything is a preview of Republican federal rule. Look here, Oklahoma. Never vote Republican. Ever.

Lived in Tulsa the first half of my life. Great city! An absolute jewel in that outhouse of a state.

After leaving, "So, why y'all taxing gas, groceries, medicine and income? I thought we were against all that?" The contrast between their voting record and actual governance is stunning.

Also, Tulsa and OKC and major metro areas that are still red. Weird.
