but he has to put up with a repube-led legislature.

I keep hearing that our governor, John Bel Edwards, is about to implement a state-wide mask mandate again. As soon as he does, the larger cities in Louisiana, which are mostly run by Democratic mayors, will follow suit.

I feel really sorry for red state folks who have repube governors. The dumb anti-maks laws they're trying to pass are fucking ridiculous.
