  • I feel like this is part of a Republican long game - make their states so unpalatable to progressives that they move out, thus ensuring that the US Senate and House are never again under Democratic control. It’s like a for of self-imposed gerrymandering for Democrats, packing themselves into the few states with liberal legislaturea and policies.

    Of course, those blue states will continue to subsidize the red states through tax dollars and federal programs, but that’s another issue entirely.


  • These judges like Wallace are people too, with families who cannot hide behind anonymity like a high profile jury in a mob case. They’ve seen what Trump’s Brown Shirts will do to those they don’t like: anything from incessant threatening phone calls to attempted murder with a hammer. What an impossible position to be in: serve justice, or risk your family being stalk and possibly assaulted.

    This is how democracy dies. It takes very brave people in power to stand up to someone like Trump.
