22. As if there is anyone

who wants to move the that gawd awful state. Lived there while stationed there. Not friends anymore with my fellow soldiers who still live there and love Trump. The weather is horrendous, people are racist and children are not a priority. Oklahoma is disgusting, but I still have a friend there and she is liberal and gets it. She would move if she could.
