(16,858 posts)This state is royally fucked...from this, to open carry to the point some want to classify carriers as "law enforcement", to Hillsdale charters, to "Dont say Gay" and book censorship in schools, not to mention Lee's total mismanagement and complete disdain of all things public health and Covid related....
