How have your Repug state legislators ruined your life today?
We were warned. The late, great, lamented Molly Ivins warned us. When it comes to daily life, it's our state legislators who have the most control over what we can do and whether we can do it safely.
Take Kentucky's General Assembly. Please.
Since repugs took over the state house in 2016 for full control of the legislative and executive branches, they have been systematically dismantling the structures of civilization Kentucky progressives have managed to erect.
- slashing already minimal benefits for the poor, sick and disabled.
- denying the humanity of vagina-havers and condemning them to a slow, painful death of sepsis after an illegal abortion or a lifetime of forced birth.
- canceling all state incentives for renewable energy and slapping a giant annual tax on the owners of electric cars.
- eliminating all background checks, training and permit fees for concealed carry. Now you can get shot and killed for failing to genuflect to the Pumpkin Traitor anytime, anywhere in the Commonwealth.
- exempting the governor and legislators from being subject to the courts, in case any dogooding libs try to sue their motherfucking asses for all of that unconstitutional bullshit.
- hiding from the public all records of how and why legislators are fucking us over.
