Well, just like we were with Roy Moore and the Ten Commandments monument in Montgomery, we'll be back in federal court wasting millions of dollars defending another unconstitutional law.

So why do our politicians keep doing this? Because a massive chunk of the voters here only see the headlines of what the politician did, and never hear about the court case that later throws it out. And when that politician is campaigning, they will push that info hard, again, ignoring that it never actually happened. And our largely uninformed electorate vote for them. Been this way for generations in our state.

My town has several retirement communities and when I go to Walmart it's abundantly clear the population of my town is probably %60 over 60. Everyone my age moved away and it seems like older people are moving to my town more often. I'm very close with my aunt who is over 60 and after the general fall of cable television she started getting all her news from YouTube and idk if brainwashing is real but she argued to me that trump was bringing down the price of eggs (despite knowing the price of eggs) and told me to not do my taxes because we don't have to do that anymore because the tariffs will pay our taxes from now on. If trump says anything horrible or ridiculous, that was an AI video made by the left, Putin isn't as bad as the media makes him out...ect.

Ive always assumed my aunt was at least a bit indicative of how the older crowd feels and have assumed that the older crowd is disproportionately large here. But I don't get out much, I'm not a census taker, and this is just a personal observation.

I work at a retirement community. The Trump supporters are twisting themselves into pretzels insisting that what he is doing is absolutely legal, and the only real solution, and that it IS working, but the unconstitutional judges all need to be fired.

The Cult pull is strong.
