That's a thing they get to do because they control all of these offices.
It isn't even as though guys like DeSantis and Abbott and Parson and Huckabee-Sanders aren't wallowing in their own criminal cesspool either.
But Dems are so fixated on Trump as a unique villain that they've let this clown car of fascism do donuts across the southwest unimpeded.
Trump could drop dead tomorrow, get replaced by Vivek Ramaswamy, and they could still do this.
Thanks to a new wave of gerrymandering, vote caging, and legislative strong arming, they effectively already are hijacking state and municipal government offices from elected Democrats.
Just look at Abbot's takeover of the Houston Independent School District. Or Mississippi State legislatures seizing Jackson's elected judiciary with House Bill 1020. Or the Pennsylvania House impeachment of Philly DA Larry Krassner.
I'm old enough to remember blue cities erupting into riot over police treatment of black residents in 2014. Do you remember what Obama did next? Do you remember what Democrats campaigned on in 2016 and then again and again in subsequent election years?
