The state is not going to drown. The polity of urban New Orleans is the liberal thorn in its side, and that's the area at risk.

You really think Orleans Parish was behind that?

I don’t care. Actions have consequences and the actions of Louisiana as a state have the consequence of making me viscerally hate them.

New Orleans is a major economic center for them so I hope they lose it and are impoverished forever.

If you don’t like the politics you should leave.

If you can’t I grieve for you.

If you can but love the region then you need to take the good with the bad.

If you enjoy the political leaning and live there I’ll throw you a barbell once you start drowning.

I’ve already had to move from my home region for economics and it’s seeming like I’ll need to leave my new home again so I am not saying this from the position of someone whose never been forced to leave.

New Orleans is extremely blue. They're the ones having their rights stripped away by the rest of the state.

You're part of the problem here.

No, Louisiana is.

If New Orleans is extremely blue, but can contribute nothing but political power to authoritarian assholes, then they need to leave or figure out someway to fight.

Sucks to suck, but the liberal Louisianians arent helping atm.

How can you fight when your power has been taken away from you? The reason I'm saying you're part of the problem is because you're blaming victims for the situation they're in without realizing that you're up next, and others like you are going to scream "why aren't you doing MORE TO HELP?" while you're screaming "Why isn't anyone helping ME?".

Southern states have been stripping people's rights away for decades.

> How can you fight when your power has been taken away from you?

In ways I can not articulate on US social media sites without being permabanned.

If you are giving power to the authoritarians and doing nothing to stop it, then you are effectively the gasoline in my enemies tanks. I wish it wasn't so, but that is how reality is.

Without going into too many details, I can tell you that the state laws of Louisiana have gotten a lot more preemptively fascist with regard to any sort of organization which you would describe

		Don’t need to tell me. It’s a shit state with shit politics. Doesn’t even follow the line of common law legal system the rest of the states use and is based on some French legal ancestry.
