I'm with you on this one! I moved from the insanity happening in Seattle down to my college days stomping grounds of Arizona last year for the very reasons you mentioned (and others).

As a right-leaning independent I was definitely the stranger in a strange land.

How can people be so adversely affected by policies yet continue to vote in the same leadership year after year.(?) What will it take?

Both parties, Phil. ItтАЩs inexplicable to anyone but a MAGA die-hard why they тАЬcontinue to vote in the same leadership year after yearтАЭ.

Agreed! As A Californian, I listen in wonder to acquaintances who bitch about the crime and homelessness in LA and still vote for no-one but a Democrat. Cognitive dissonance!

ItтАЩs bc. there arenтАЩt any decent types in the Republican side. I know many Women Democrats who would vote for Niki Haley even though her Abortion ideas are not liberal enough.

Are you implying that Mayor Bruce Harrell can't fix the problems that Councilmember Bruce Harrell helped create?

I think the only thing will be when these people experience crime the way Shivanthi Sathanandan did in Minneapolis.

Oh, I'm not blaming Bruce Harrell at all - he can't help himself. I'm blaming the people who put him (and his predecessors) in office.
