The worst of the worst of the worst

The worst republican governors, in my mind, in no particular order:

Brownback of Kansas for destroying the KS economy and for imposing his insane far right Christian beliefs on the state.

McCrory of North Carolina for his corruption, his anti-LGBT hate laws and his hideous environmental record.

LePage
of Maine because he's a piggy mini-me Trump who promotes hate and penalizes the most vulnerable populations in Maine

Rick Snyder of Michigan. Another cruel fuck who shifted the state tax burden onto the back of the middle class and the working poor, not to mention Flint and insane "pro-life" regulations.

Scott Walker of Wisconsin because of... everything. From union busting to anti-choice regulations to immigration to shredding the social safety net to...

Bobby Jindahl of Louisiana for his profound damage to the economy of Louisiana, the damage he did to education and because he's another xian nutcase who tried to impose his beliefs on institutions across the state.

Rick Scott of Florida. I suppose it's not his fault that he looks like my mind picture of Voldemort or a lizard man from some cheesy 1950s movie, but it certainly is his fault that he's as corrupt as they come, hates poor people and lies like Trump.

Feel free to add or annotate. I'm not from any of the above states and I know others here know far more than I about their republican governors.

Bruce Rauner of Illinois who is trying to kill Unions and has fought with the legislature. No budget since he took over and social services schools are left without funding.
