Nope. Just telling the truth. You’ve gotta own what you’re state does. I come from AZ, a state internationally famous for having insane governors that do insane things. I have voted against every one of them, but they’re still my governors, they still represent my state, and they still embarrass the hell out of me. Own it, it’s your state, it’s screwed up, excuse mongering ain’t gonna fix it.
You are newcomers to this circus - this is the state where both the Republican and the socialist movement began. You are just blind to what is happening here. And if you think you could do better - show up and do something besides carping form the sidelines like you know it all.
