It’s what happens when there’s a history of Rat leadership. Just like here in California the people keep thoughtlessly electing RATS, because the RAT lies with a straight face, and says such nice things knowing the people will do as they want them to, because thinking requires too much energy.
There is Rat leadership in Portland Oregon. Most atheist city in US. Number one in human trafficking.
I think CA and NM people are willing accomplices to the lying by their Democrat overlords.
