“One thing we have really found is a place to feel comfortable being ourselves,” Dean said. Americans are segregating by their politics at a rapid clip, helping fuel the greatest divide between the states in modern history.
One party controls the entire legislature in all but two states. In 28 states, the party in control has a supermajority in at least one legislative chamber — which means the majority party has so many lawmakers that they can override a governor’s veto. Not that that would be necessary in most cases, as only 10 states have governors of different parties than the one that controls the legislature
This can only end badly as conservatives seem to have no problem ruling over land in empty states.
That’s really sad to hear. I myself used to consider myself moderate before I realized that I was being taken advantage of by cynical Republicans who only wanted power and would do anything to get it. Now I’m anti-Republican. Whatever the mind-virus is that has spread and made them all Trump-sucking morons is incredibly damaging to democracy itself. And I’ll resume having policy debates and such once there is a firm grasp on the levers of power and it is kept away from these crazies who want to steer our country into the ditch to own the libs.
