I mean it could very easily be ultra shady state politics, but if you where to listen to the democrats then every republican is an evil white rich guy who ties poor Mexicans onto train tracks.
And if you where to listen to republicans, then every democrat would be a gender queer, vegan communist who shits on the constitution.
The thing that strikes me about this, is that there is a lot of push back from the mainstream over this, so i suspect that there was something very nasty behind this bill that they are leaving out.
