Mist isn't wrong though (am Kansan here). With our political system generally valuing land mass more than population at this point (nationally), Kansas is and remains a GOP stronghold on both the state and federal levels due to how consolidated democratic areas (Wichita... barely, and the KC metro) are. Granted, more often than not its not foaming at the mouth Trump country (I think Brownback was a good lead off to move us away from that) but there is definitely republican dominating ideals in our politics and governing. We thankfully tend to have strong non-elected public servants who know how to work within confines to get things done in responsible and egalitarian manners generally, plus home rule, helps to counter act the crazy talking points like "Sue Joe Biden" (for what exactly?) with no standing.
