Once a Republican but no more.
Mike Huckabee once called Arkansas a banana republic and that was proven true when the GOP took over the legislature. After several ethics issues they proposed a constitutional amendment that purported to close some ethics loopholes but actually reduced oversight and increased the number of terms legislators could serve.
True banana republic, the old order is overturned by people even worse.
Had some indictments. Had a kid die at a daycare owned by a legislator who had passed bills cutting oversight of daycares. Had one who reduced restrictions on private adoptions who was discovered to have adopted a young girl with behavior issues. He and his wife placed the girl in a new home. A pedophile.

The social issues have turned me off. I used to laugh at tax and spend Democrats and damn if I didn’t elect cut taxes and still spend Republicans.

I’ve gone from GOP to GDI.
