with heavy, if not overwhelming GOP majorities are doing great damage to themselves and our nation is not "regional bias" it's facts.

Sorry if saying your Governor or Legislature is turning your State into a shithole, or more of a shithole and that most of the voters in your State support it hurts you, but I am not going to shut up to spare your feelings.

Are we not suppose to criticize any State or Region, even if they are doing terrible things?
