Plus there’s the resource aspect. Single party control by the Dims means these states are going to go down the drain pretty fast. It also means every libby cause from gun control to planned parenthood no longer has to spend much money in the state to push for that to happen.
That money they can now move to the next target state, and double-up the push for ‘action’ there instead.
My wife and I have both lived in Washington State all of our lives. This is getting to be more and more rare for people in our age group who live here. We have been invaded and it is not pretty. It is not hard to see that this place is headed in the same direction as California. People from the big cities are now ruling the surrounding rural areas with an iron fist.
Our State Supreme Court which is a political body, has made many, many corrupt decisions from “fining” our state legislature over $80 million dollars for “underfunding” schools... to making it illegal to drill a private well in rural areas of the state and denying property owners the ability to build a house on their property. This supposedly is to protect fish.
Never mind that in real inflation adjusted dollars the state is spending two or three times more per student than it did when I was a kid. And never mind that there is no evidence that rural wells in our state have any impact on fish or stream life.
