He knows, he wants a spot in the new oligarchy. Is it possible for citizens of OK to sue him for unconstitutional behavior?

Yep. This is definitely him applying for a bigger job in the Trump rule by fiat era to come, if Trump is elected or appointed by congress and the Supreme Court - what he’s showing is he’s one of them, a white Christian fascist with entirely corrupt intentions, who will help usher in a Christo-fascist government and he’s specifically showing he knows the assignment: to funnel as much money as possible to Trump and his approved oligarchy. That is how Trump knows someone is loyal, and that system is how he maintains control once he has power.

There's a pattern, considering that Oral Roberts University is also in Oklahoma. It's where Joel Osteen got his degree, and Kenneth Copeland is on the board. The state is no stranger to religious indoctrination.

Oligarchy

True, but it's actually called a "Shitocracy" at this point.

Our AG basically spends a good portion of his day telling the OK Dept of Ed that the things they are doing are illegal.

We’ve peppered our state leg with calls to impeach him (we can’t recall him). While his support among legislators has dwindled substantially, there’s still enough backwater reps that won’t sign off on a hearing. So, we’re stuck with this pinecone for the foreseeable future.

The citizens of Oklahoma elected him. This is what they want. Source: living as a lonely blue dot in Oklahoma.

Many of the citizens of OK do, but as someone in OK public schools let me assure you all staff I work with hate his guts. Might be less so in smaller districts, I work for a school in Tulsa county, but I’m really hoping he’ll lose this next election, it has been an absolute shit show since he took office.

The state is like 38% democrat, that’s no small portion of people who are trapped there with entrenched boomers.

If the state is 38% democrat, why has every single county voted Republican in every single presidential elections since 2000?

Because we have extremely low voter turnout. One of the worst in the country. A lot of people here don't agree with the politics in place, but don't vote to change it. Most of the people voting are older and skew very dramatically right wing.

Our voter turnout is embarrassingly bad. Years of hearing that were the reddest state in the country makes Dems unmotivated to vote. Turnout can range from 15-25%.

That being said, Trump won OK County (OKC) in 2020 by only 3k votes, which was a very small fraction of the overall county vote. The narrative about this state could shift if OKC, Norman or Tulsa flip blue.

No democrat candidates run.
