They've been in control of the state for decades and no progress has been made. We are one of the most populated states in the country, you would think we would have our shit together.

They’ve been in control for years, and instead of fixing the darned roads, replacing bridges and keeping the state humming, they waste time trying to outlaw abortion, defund Philly services, overthrow electoral results, etc.

Not to mention they are the third highest paid state legislators in the country behind only NY and CA with another raise coming this year, yet they do fuck all for us. We didn’t even have a Dem on the ballot in my district because who wants to throw away their money to run here? Flipping the House is a delightful surprise, though.

For a lot of us, it seems like the Republicans hate us. Especially us in the LGBT+ community.

I have friends who are Republicans. They are good people who are disgusted, along with the rest of us, how the Republican Party has leaned into fascism.

I had friends who were republicans.

They believed in election fraud, abortion bans, privatizing all K-12 schools and were routinely racist

If they are ok with electing racists.. hate to tell you they are racists too. If they vote for people who want to take away my rights to control my body... then they want to take away my rights too.

Reddit's pretty echochamber-ey, this subreddit is no exception.
