That doesn't seem to be born out in policy or the media though....

Here is an article written back in 2024 where support for tax cuts for the rich (which is part of why Flood got shouted down at the town hall) is dubios and some Republican state representatives call dubious benefit if you project the Nebraskan budget to 2027....

I'm not saying that all Nebraskans even know about any of this, but the frothing evil hate mongering voters you're referring to, don't seem to be the majority. They exist, and they're loud, but they're not the sole voting population of Nebraska. And frankly I agree with you. Nebraska deserves better. We all deserve better.

I'm happy Flood got shouted down and I hope there are more public demonstrations decrying what's been rotting at the core of this country. Billionaires hoarding wealth and creating massive inequality intersectionally throughout the whole of society.
