loving everyone in Oklahoma hates Stitt and they will loudly talk about how much they hate him and how he has made their lives materially worse and they will all line up to reelect him in a landslide anyway.

just like how they all loving hated Mary Fallin, she had one of the lowest approval rates and highest disapproval rates of any governor in the country at the time, and they still gave her hand-picked successor a piss-easy victory lap of an election.

this is largely because the Dems have, after having had absolute control over state-level Oklahoma politics as a de facto one-party state for like a hundred loving years (into the 21st century!), just totally given up on it and conceded it to the Republicans. in most of the state they don't even loving run candidates anymore, and in the places where they do, it's consistently either Republican-lites or the most bland, boring empty suits they can dredge up, and either way they never seriously challenge the Republicans on anything or offer the voters any meaningful difference from the poo poo they've already got. the state GOP walks all over them.

a couple elections ago a communist hippie ran for state Senate on the Libertarian Party ticket as a joke, did no campaigning, spent no money, didn't even submit a photo, and had a platform that consisted entirely of the words 'legalize LSD' and nothing else, and got almost 40% of the vote because the Dems didn't even bother to run anyone at all against the extremely unpopular incumbent in that district

The scary thing is that that's not just Oklahoma. You could say the same things about Kentucky or West Virginia and probably plenty of the prairie states and plains states depending on when you want to draw your line. The dems abandoned these places mostly after 2012 because they have no platform to speak of and no project to build so there's only one thing to run on which is "we aren't republicans".

Sure, Governor Brownback destroyed your state so maybe you'd like to elect someone not Governor Brownback? They promise to do absolutely nothing, including dismantling anything the guy did, but we can assure you they aren't Governor Brownback! Mitch McConnell has never done anything to help you and is instrumental in orchestrating the republican project? Maybe you could vote for Allison Lundergan Grimes or Amy McGrath, the latter of whom promises to do nothing different except caucus with the party that's kept you in poverty for two hundred years. Don't worry, we've helpfully weeded out anyone progressive promising material change for the better.

On the one hand it's criminal that being forced into a two party system where one party doesn't act in good faith leaves most of the country without any choice when it comes to voting but on the other hand I think I'd honestly prefer it to one where anyone has any illusion about the feelings of the democrats toward them. At least in these abandoned red states we know exactly what we're going to get rather than having to be perpetually disappointed by the idea that our elected officials might do something for us rather than against us. I do wonder exactly how much more the democrats could realistically contract though. There are only a few regions left that are both economically devistated and still vote blue. Michigan seems an obvious choice but there are probably a couple more I'm forgetting.
