except my taxes to subsidize their hatred, bigotry and cruelty to African Americans, LGBTQ and women.

It's just too bad that the people of the state will suffer for their elected officials' actions. Hard lessons. No sympathy from me. They have spent decades trying to make the rest of us miserable in order to lower our quality of life to more closely match theirs. So now they can enjoy their cesspool.

I wouldn't spend a dime in any of the states passing anti-women death bills.
