Authoritarian blue states do this crap too. This has nothing to do with the set of policy positions on your party's official platform and everything to do with being a totalitarian jerk, a characteristic that abounds among politicians and high level government officials in general across many parties and nations.
- TimTheTinker 5y agoWell done. Authoritarianism is alive and well across the political spectrum.

- voidfunc 5y agoYea but at least in a decently blue state I expect the jurors in an actual courtroom eventually to side with reason whereas I expect red state jurors to lap up this tough on crime crap like its mother's milk. GOP/Red States are the way they are because the people are too stupid for their own good.
