Irony is , we’re not the idiots responsible for all this mess. Our states are solidly Blue. I understand them not wanting to vacation at the Gulf, Florida our the southeast coast in general. Hell, I don’t want to go there. Traveling south feels almost like crossing the Iron Curtain into Eastern Europe back in the bad old days. Just feels creepy.

But the northern tier of the Northeast isn’t like that. We have our magats but our state governments haven’t embraced fascism like other parts of the US. Yet we’re suffering from it.
