"Georgia has gone from a state I love, to an absolute shithole."
I don't know a whole lot about Georgia politics but from what I have seen so far you have a red state that has been taken over by a small handful of blue state commies in key positions of power.
The people of Georgia know how they voted. They need to demand action. I would not give up that easy. Keep the faith!!
The takeover was aided and abetted by the corporate Republicans in Atlanta. After Sonny Perdue led the change of Georgia from Democrat to Republican in 2002, the conservative Republicans had clear control of the party. The tea Party movement even gave it more strength but as with other state the establishment Republicans move to take back control and did so by 2014. After moving control to Atlanta corporate .Republicans the grassroots were at best tolerated.
