2. I'm right there with you.

My state, Florida, takes its fair share of abuse. And rightfully so. But then I see what states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, etc. are dealing with since putting Repugs in control of their state governments. Its not always about the people of a state being racist or homophobic, misogynistic or just stupid; its about the idiots that get elected. And right now, even in a purple, leaning blue state the legislative maps are gerrymandered red. Eventually the Fair District constitutional amendment will help, but those changes aren't immediate. That's why its so important to fight these idiotic policies as hard as we can until we have the ability to affect change at the polls.
