Either change your political leadership and address the real issues or blame people who have little to do with the problems.

They vote to change their leadership.
They get overruled by the Republican majority.
They get punished brutally for voting the wrong way.
But sure, it's totally their own fault, right?

It is the fault of the folks who vote for candidates based on imaginary issues or things that are not that important. Absolutely.
The rest are victims for sure.
I believe in fighting and not giving up but at some point perhaps leaving is the answer. Obviously not all can do that.

there is a price for voting gop, the politicians only gaf about corp paymasters
yet Mississippi still keeps voting gop, and then are surprised when they get treated this way.
and they are now suffering from the harm from those they chose, absolutely a case a chickens coming home to roost.

You really didn't really the article, did you?
The people suffering here did not vote for Republicans. You are literally blaming the victims.

i did
>The people suffering here did not vote for Republicans.
their state did. you are aware gov is chosen by state elections, are you not?
if they dont like the states leadership, they are free to leave the state. something i would greatly advise, as its NOT going to get better, only worse.
if they choose to stay, the price is living under the corrupt gop administration of that state
its not like Mississippi hasnt been gop for decades and this snuck up on everyone

Have you ever been forced to leave your home? People tend to not want to just give it up. These people have memories of this place and your grand solution is they should move.
You also talk like anyone can just uproot their lives like it's such an easy thing to do.

yes. multiple moves have been forced due to bad situations, both with govt decisions, and job changes.
>People tend to not want to just give it up.
then dont. but it IS a bed of the own making, by the majority of the people in Mississippi
>These people have memories of this place and your grand solution is they should move.
or deal with the consequences of the decisions the people of Mississippi people chose.
again. let me be blunt. this situation exists because the people of the state voted for those in power who created this.
because of decades of this, the choices have now been reduced to live under the misery, or move to a different state.
>You also talk like anyone can just uproot their lives like it's such an easy thing to do.
its not easy. but sometimes it is necessary
the situation in Mississippi has been the way it is for many decades. this didnt sneak up on anyone, and the majority of the state voted for this, repeatedly, over many decades, so there is almost no chance for improvement anytime soon.

I, too, remember Martin Luther King's famous speech leading the exodus from Georgia, "I have a dream of it never getting better, only worse."
Can you hear yourself? You sound like a Republican talking snidely about how women who want rights should just leave.

georga got better because voters chose it to get better
Mississippi voters chose the gop instead.

overlooks I support the freedom at a federal level and do not support it being a state law issue, just like with gay marriage
nice try at a false equivalency
this situation though, is 100% a state issue, and arose because the residents of Mississippi chose gop leaders for decades, AND continue to do so meaning there are no improvements forthcoming anytime soon.
