I thought it time we start tracking and following actions by Republicans in state legislatures across the country. Every where you look, it seems like they're racing to see who can go off the deep end to fascism the fastest. And it's not just increasingly anti-democratic voter restrictions and a disdain for democratic elections outcomes that don't go in their favor. It's actual actions that are putting their fellow lawmakers in danger. Like this case in Oregon.
Also would be a good place to discuss the increasingly hostile stances and actions these state legislatures (that are controlled by rural districts) take against large populations center/cities that are the economic engines of their states and run by elected Democrats.
