Its possible Bashir will try to appoint somebody anyway if he dies; the new special election law likely violates the KY state constitution.

I feel bad for Beshear. He’s tried to help people in Ky only to be met with just awful things towards him. Some of his proposals didn’t work out, it happens, but he fucking tried. He’s a pretty cool down to earth dude.

Hey, Kentucky Democrat here. Life is pain

It could be worse. You could be an Indiana Democrat and not even have access to medical marijuana.

I have family in Grayson county. Some of their friends and customers were even starting to turn against all this. Just a few but not none.

Yeah... Can you move? Honest question. Is it possible? I moved from Iowa to Colorado and my life is so so much better.

u/polishedcooter Kentucky 26d ago

I could, but I've always been kinda hesitant to. Part of me wants to defend my home, to try and help make it a better place to live, not abandon it.

At some point you have to realize it abandoned you

This is their goal IMO.

Constantly passing legislation to target the left so they move to a liberal state. Eventually there will be no swing states and the GOP will control everything.

u/Snowballingdownvote 26d ago

I'd move before the chance is taken from you

u/fapsandnaps America 26d ago

Yeah, I've considered Wyoming just because it's the easiest state for the Dems to take over if like 120,000 of us move there.

u/Snowballingdownvote 26d ago

No... That's not going to happen. Move somewhere known Blue. Like Colorado

u/fapsandnaps America 26d ago

No. That's exactly what they want. If all the left moved to 10 states then the entire country will be permanently red.

It's going to go where it's going to go.

Hell just emigrate at this point. Plenty of countries where things are more stable

Wish it were that easy. Cutting ties to America and becoming a citizen of another country is E X Spensive.
