Missouri is a [[swing state]] in presidential elections (the metropolitan areas of St. Louis and Kansas City are solidly Democrat while the rest of the state is solidly Republican). It had consistently supported the winning candidates since 1960 until 2008 when it favored [[John McCain]], who lost to [[Barack Hussein Obama]]. Before Obama, the last losing candidate to win Missouri was [[Adlai Stevenson]] in 1956. Since 2008, Marxists who advocate [[single party control]] and the outlawing of political opposition, have effectively taken control of the Missouri Democrat Party.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2020/08/27/hawley-the-marxist-left-is-essentially-in-control-now-of-the-democratic-party/</ref>
