Maybe activists from California and Hawaii can move to Missouri and help the poor flyover residents figure things out. Oh wait, California also bans same-sex marriage and Hawaii beat Missouri to the constitution amendment with similar legislation. Oh well, coastal folks tend to be smarter, brighter and better looking (at least better dressed) so maybe they can help Missouri residents with those things instead. I'm certain the minds of the flyover states residents are just crying our to be changed by comfortable coastal activists. They can start in Kansas, Leawood to be precise.
