    My state just elected a racist, corrupt governor alongside a a Republican super majority. Then the GOP elevated one of our racist/homophobic/Christian nationalist reps to speaker of the house.

    Not feeling great. Seriously considering leaving Louisiana. It’s not safe here for my children.

      It’s such a sad state of affairs. I’ve heard the term culture war applied to our political parties and that feels accurate.

      Hearing that it’s causing someone to fear for the safety of their loved ones is distressing. Though, sadly, not surprising.

      Hoping for the best for you and yours, despite our trajectory.
