I’ll do my best - you hang tough out there also. I feel bad for people in Oklahoma who are stuck with the same type of right wing nutjobbery we have in Utah. The people are completely the opposite of what the legislature thinks they are. We have absolutely zero say in what goes on.
For example, we voted for fairer redistricting, but the legislature overrode it because it might have allowed a democrat into office.
Even though most of Utah’s population is not conservative, we have no voice at all in our government. A lot of is controlled by the mormon church.
Shit sucks indeed. But at least I can harrass and harangue them with letters and opinion pieces in the newspaper that call them out for the scumbags they really are. They hate that.
Just wanted to note, Oklahoma just passed a similar law (this link is to a news article, which includes a link to the bill itself).
One thing that’s crazy to me is when they go on about how much money universities are spending on these programs, when here in Oklahoma it’s 0.29% of all higher education spending and 0.11% of state expenditures on higher education.
Shit sucks right now, and I dunno where my home state is headed. It’s hard to tell if things will get better or worse in the long run.
Whatever the case, stay strong over there. o7
