      I was curious just how many people actually live in South Dakota, just so that I could have a point of reference for the 37.8% statistic. Basically, it’s roughly the same amount of people as the population of New Orleans or half the population of Washington DC that agree with her. What an empty state.

        and yet they get two senators.

        also the full complement of representatives not a truncated amount so their citizens votes count more than most other states.

        And they’re not even the least populated state at about 900k

        That title goes to Wyoming with about 580k people

    Kristi Noem is a despicable cunt. I hope she trips over a stack of her shitty unsold books, falls into a deep gravel pit, and sinks beneath a pile of rocks while passerby point and laugh.

    It was a 14 month old wirehaired pointer.

    They get up to 34" tall. Everything about this is bullshit.

    My extremely objective sample size of the single South Dakota resident I have talked to about this thinks that she is a laughable disgrace.

    We talked for a bit about how basically any idiot should know that it takes a while, as in years and years, to properly train a hunting dog.

    And also executing a puppy, and a goat, is fucking insane.

    According to her the goat was not really even Noem’s goat. It was apparently a goat that was being basically rented, primarily as an au naturale lawn mower.

    Anyway, then this 50+ year old white lady proceeded to laugh for 3 minutes straight about how bad you have to fuck up to get banned from every native reservation in the state, a full 1/5 of the landmass of the territory you govern.

    Another 40-50% agree it was justified, but won’t actually say it because they’re spineless low-lifes. Works the same way with racists…

      Are you from there or something? 80-90% seems like a huge number without some other information factoring in

        I hope that person is just internet bullshitting. For only 10-20% of the state to think that’s wrong, I just can’t believe that.

    Another way to read this: 60% of a batshit conservative state even think Noem is guilty of animal abuse.

    Headline: Over 60 percent of South Dakota residents disapprove of Governor Noem’s dog shooting About a third of people from South Dakota suck.
