    Yeah, this and the "run over protesters with your car if you want lol" laws are a pretty big departure from the bad stuff that goes on in Democratic states. You also have Democratic states doing some undeniably good things, like marijuana legalization or (this is more at local levels) decarceration efforts.

    All this is to say that "it isn't very different than blue dominated states" is the type of take some left-leaning lib would hear and think "oh, these leftists are out to lunch." There are too many huge exceptions to it. It's much clearer to put any similarities in terms of both parties being capitalist parties that serve capital interests, but acknowledge that there are meaningful differences within that category.

      the “run over protesters with your car if you want lol” laws

      Has anyone run over a chud protest and cited that yet? I know they'd get the death penalty anyway because it's (not so) secretly a white supremacy law, but still
