I’ve only been to rhode Island a couple times. Each time some democrat is getting raided by the feds for some level of corruption
I spent 2 1/2 years in school in Providence, late 70s. Back then it was a mobbed-up town with a Republican mayor. I visited again about 20 years later, and that same Republican was mayor again? Still? Anyway he was brought up on charges of some kind, and that was that.
Rhode Island is painfully liberal now. It hurts. I have great memories of Providence. Great memories of New York, where I lived for 24 years after that. Also ruined. And I live in Maryland now, which I absolutely hate. If I think about it too long, I’ll get (more) depressed.
