They also have Illinois as one of the least-corrupt states--you know, the same Illinois that has had two governors go to Federal prison in the last 20 years and another couple charged, and is home to Chicago, the most theatrically corrupt city in America. And I love Chicago! It's just that when I lived there back in the 2000s there was a routine story about an Alderman being found with 50K in cash hidden in a fridge and nobody batted an eye...

I used to live in Florida and I still try to keep up with all the sh*t that happens there but jfc the corruption is out of control and they’re not even trying to hide it.

Stopping universities from requiring masks and covid vaccinations. Pushing out a county school board member because they wanted to require masks in schools. Replaced the university of Florida’s president with a desantis lackey. Tried to cover up Covid deaths in nursing homes. Tried to incorrectly report Covid deaths on the state dashboard and went after the whistle blower.

Seriously.

As a Floridian, this has to be a joke. Governor DeSantis has basically turned out state government into an ideology cult.

His anti-CRT laws are so ridiculous even universities are struggling to find ways to teach basic historical facts, like slavery and the Holocaust. He was so angry that Disney decided to halt their donations to him and other conservatives over backlash from the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, that he came up with a ludicrous redistricting bill that now has taxpayers footing the bill for Disney’s land formally called the Reedy Creek Improvement District.

One of our senators and our former governor, Rick Scott, literally defrauded our state’s Medicare.
