and even Ohio, even though they voted GOP for most statewide races.

in lame duck session, Republican state legislatures are taking extreme lengths to weaken the incoming Democratic governor. Same thing that was done when Pat McCrory held that L in North Carolina.

Similar measures are being done in Michigan to dilute the work done
in ballot measures to raise the minimum wage and make sick leave paid.

In Ohio, a "stand your ground" law was passed alongside the most restrictive anti-abortion law.

If Gillum and Abrams won, I do not DOUBT that the GOP would have done the same thing in those states.

When you hear some wingnut running his mealy mouth about the US turning into "Venezuela" because SoCiAlIsM...

this is actually what Maduro does in Venezuela and what Bolsonaro does in Brazil (only that asswipe goes so far as to jailing the strongest opposition).

the right wing can not be trusted.
