North Carolina has been a testing ground for this kind of governance since at least 2012. Massive disinvestment in infrastructure & the social safety net, as well as blatant corruption & unconstitutional behavior. Even when Dems win, Repubs dilute their power so the Dems can’t do much governing.

we are getting a national version of red state governance, where the people in charge do everything they can to impoverish the state under the view that the more wretched things get, the easier it is for them to stay in power
