We have a beautiful state but it’s being ruined by Republicans and way too many people who fall for their propaganda. Anti-science, anti community health, God forbid we raise taxes to pay for anything that’s for the common good. I have a right to eat whatever I want and smoke myself to death. No young whippersnapper doctor is gonna tell ME what to do. No government is gonna force me to wear a seatbelt or get a vaccine or force me to store my gun properly. This is the pervasive attitude and it makes me want to scream sometimes.
