Noem succeeding in making red state, LawCo even whiter

Nipple Butte is just north of Lookout Mountain near the stupid little white ditch

Under single party rule South Dakota has been a net inbound Whitopia for at least four years running and Republican Governor Kristi Noem has been adding fuel to the burning crosses.

United Van Lines is reporting upticks, yet another Republican secretary of state is purging voter rolls and the resident electorate is withering under overwhelming disgust and hopelessness. Voter turnout is dismal in Indian Country mostly because tribal nations trapped in South Dakota flounder as they compete with the stingy red moocher state government for resources. 

Among the top inbound states were South Carolina (64%), Oregon (63%), South Dakota (62%) and Arizona (62%), while New York (67%), Illinois (67%), Connecticut (63%) and California (59%) were among the states experiencing the largest exoduses. [United Van Lines]

Lawrence County looks like a bargain compared to property in richer blue states so it's easy to double your money there and even Mike Trucano is cashing out hoping to outrun the state's Nazi onslaught.

Spearditch is the seat of whiteness in LawCo so in the winter Exit 14 looks like a monument to the clear-span building that has been air-dropped into Antarctica. Main Street Spearditch is often ignored but a stroll reveals a few 60 or 70-somethings going into cafés, Ace Hardware or one of the banks. Life-long residents drive to Rapid City and Denver to shop forsaking local merchants.

Keating also bought the W.E. Adams building on Sherman Street in Deadwood which was home to a Sears catalog store when I moved to the gulch in 1978. Mary Dunne and Dave Larson owned it right up to the time Dave died. 

A sportsbook is expected to be housed in the building pending legislation regarding sports betting in South Dakota expected to take effect July 1. [Black Hills Pioneer]

The resultant soaring median age of the retirees seeking deliverance from the cultural diversities thriving in Colorado, California, Minnesota, even Arizona and Oregon drives the exploitation of South Dakota's regressive tax structure and reinforces the racially insulated Nazi enclave that Spearditch is today. 

To little surprise the assisted living, funeral home and florist industries do very well and now that brown workers can take the driver's license exam in Spanish white people can spend more time snorting and shooting meth.

Many, if not most, of these obese Republican slackers take advantage of the dynasty trust industry and flee the frozen tundra in their RVs ahead of consecutive six-month winters and strings of below-zero days.

The more white Republicans move to South Dakota the less safe American Indians become. Native Americans represent at least 9% of the population in South Dakota, but by design they account for 14% of all deaths from the Trump virus. 

The reasoning is hardly mysterious: it's all about the money prostitution, the Sturgis Rally, policing for profit, sex trafficking, hunting and subsidized grazing bring to the South Dakota Republican Party destroying lives, depleting watersheds and smothering habitat under single-party rule.

The good news? At this hour a massive wildfire is threatening to burn Lemmon, South Dakota to the ground. 

To put it in perspective, the Native American Covid death rate in SoDak through November was 215.0. For whites it was 129.5. That gap is much larger at older age groups.
