What the actual hell!?!

My daughter is a library director. In our state, republicans, following trump's mindset, are threatening to slash library funds. Today, a family walked into my daughter's library with donuts and this note:

Grammar is important

Reminiscent of when professional photographers put people on the edges of photographs who they are certain will be not be in the family years from the event.

I'm a blue dot in a red state, and I'm wondering, if you live in a blue state isn't it tiring to have the country run by people from small population states like SD and Kentucky?
