"This state sucks and the Republican Party here is more than half the problem. Be thankful you don't live here."
I live in California. You have to believe that Illinios could never be even half as bad, although we have a Republican governor who is doing a great job. Maybe I'm thankful I don't live there. But I'd sure take it over this leftist train wreck of a state.
The grass always looks less brown on the other side of the fence.
Here in Illinois, we have a doofus Democrat governor, who actually is not nearly as bad as the last Republican governor. Go figure.
