hot take but I think a place where a dem wins by a thin margin means its a place in decline but the rule of law is still a voting issue so they burn the $$$ to stay in office. it's a function of the place turning into a shithole but there's still some rule of law

do dems cause shitty places or do they thrive in shitty places? which comes first and how often?
