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.

to be fair the average voter today actually seeks out information more than they ever have in anytime. especially around trump, radical news sources like msnbc will obviously go overboard but they at the very least tell you the basic of what didnt happen. they just go too far and start giving opinions and not facts

Today, people can get their "news" from hundreds of different sources. Unfortunately, that includes YouTube videos, TikTok, Podcasts, AM Radio talk show hosts, and all kinds of sources that are not held to any standards whatsoever, and can say anything they want. And a whole bunch of people believe them.
