Normally I don’t blog about politics but an article about the Alabamafication of America struck a nerve. To read the article click on the link below.
Alabama politics don’t play well on the big stage. The Alabamafication of America is a scary thing. If you aren’t a native of Alabama you may not understand the deeply entrenched corruption that controls this state.
Sweet Home Alabama: “For such a long time, the corruption of Alabama politics was something we thought we had under control, or at least, contained. Our graft, buffoonery and ineptitude had become a Dixie Ouroboros, too busy eating itself to hurt anyone else. ” ~ Kyle Whitmore
It’s not contained any longer. It has moved to the big leagues.

An interesting article — not quite a metaphor, but it acts like one!

I hope this corruption is mimed before it goes further. We know we select the leaders, but somehow, the majority has a way of falling for the crooked politicians

It’s been going on in Alabama way before I was born. The people keep electing people who actually do things that hurt the people who elected them. Yet they vote them in again. smh It mystifies me.
