Maybe we should enact a national “Don’t say Louisiana” law, and see how people from the region formerly known as L***s***a like it. We’ll call ‘em “regionians”, or maybe “areans”.

MODERATORS
As someone who is in Louisiana, a.majority of the population here does not want this shit, gerrymandering here means that the politicians don't actually represent the population.
I'm so glad Latoya is galavanting around Europe or getting shit faced in the quarter instead of ever doing anything for new Orleans or the people
I get upset even i see nyc politics affecting upstate but it's honestly usually just an inconvenience. I see Southern politics and how far away it is from what most people in the South want it blows my mind. I just cannot grasp it and I'm also terrified because it's crawling and creeping everywhere. Full on lack of representation.
