Jess is absolutely right! Go and contest the places that haven’t been contested. I have been saying this all along. If Dems want to win they should come out and talk to us in red America and I am in suburban Alabama.

Mayor Pete could have a field day.

“The middle fingers are getting less and less.”

Yes! That is my anecdotal observation protesting here in Eastern Iowa, also. Week after week, the positive responses from drivers are exuberant, while negative responses are not only less frequent than a couple months ago, but also (it seems to me) to be less emphatically offered.

Agree. I protest on Saturdays in the little red town near me. Number of patriots, up. Number of embarrassing losers dusting same with pickup exhaust, down.

In this town in south central Illinois, I've seen people who used to have Trump signs in their yards showing up at our local protest rallies with different signs -- those supporting the protesting points of view. This has to be indicative of something.

Thank you Jess! Keep doing what you're doing. People need to hear this!

Man, I love hearing from Jess Piper and per perspectives on rural America in the nation's heartland. I really liked her advice to be sure every race is contested!

Jen, thanks for having Jess on. She’s an important voice. Also, how about talking to David Pepper or Michelle Hornish? What are the chances of making inroads in some red states?

She always gives me optimism

I hope Jess Piper gets elected to any office because she listens to what people need and then talks about how she can meet that need. Contest and run for any office available. Small acorns can produce big trees.
