It's just racist in a lot of places. Areas like Phoenix really aren't that bad. But the placebis a desert with long stretches of land with only very small towns in between.
My little sister currently lives in Globe Arizona (dad and step mother got divorced awhile back, step mom moved back home with her). This is a town with less than 8K people, they still have a hitching post for your horse at the local bar, etc.
It's the sort of town you can drive through in about two minutes and completely forget you drove through the place. And there's plenty of places like that in Arizona.
Who is really surprised by this? Arizona is in a constant competition to try and one up Florida as the bat shit insane state.
In what sense?
One of the funniest damn things is Trump simultaneously bragging that the US economy is doing better than ever, and that illegal immigration is going to bring it all down.
I mean, it clearly hasn't, and it's not like the issue's getting worse over time.
The number of undocumented immigrants hasn't been on an upward trend in over a decade. It's pretty "under control".
Given that they have a hand in setting legislative policy for the state, it's hardly something you should be ignoring.Oh wait, people actually decide what state to live in based on their senate and congress people?
No, in Iowa, most of the towns are less than 1k people. Hell, the county seat is only 5k people. Every other town in the county aren't much bigger than my town. But I know of a couple villages that technically have less than 100 people. They might be lucky if they have 50.
Well, you know what, I'm in the market for a new job. Maybe I should run for office. I'm not crazy or racist, I have at least a decent high school level understanding of science and history, and I've never directly or indirection killed anyone, so I'm already more qualified than any of those three.
You aren't paying attention. All those qualities of yours make you unqualified for the GOP ticket. Science? Nope. Not racist? Nope. Kills to your name? Sorry, minimum is 3, bonus if photo proof.
Kidding of course. AZ is getting as scary as AL.

And now one of the GOP AZ candidates, your favorite and mine, Joe Arpaio, just found out that by accepting a pardon he admitted guilt to the crime. And he found out on live tv. Only the very best people!
