Yes, its good some are prosecuted and even wind up with jail time. Thats only some though. Whats bothersome is neither party learns anything. The pols/police feel they can do whatever they want and the electorate keeps enabling them. Seems a rather dull lot to me - a sort of dumb and dumber.
In my view NC isn’t low tax so you must have come from a hyper-regressive state. Glad you made it to ‘better’ ground...but its not that great by other comparisons.
BTT
“Yes, its good some are prosecuted and even wind up with jail time. Thats only some though.”
There is no perfect justice this side of Judgment Day. The pols who think they can do anything they want generally get axed eventually: sufficiently often to keep most of the rest twitchy, since “the guilty flee even when no one pursues them”.
“Whats bothersome is neither party learns anything. . . .

So, one of the parties where you moved has learned something useful? Enjoy it while it lasts. Better a dumb politician, whether ‘normal’ or psychopathic.
It’s the smart psychopaths that are the greatest concern, though in this country they tend to gravitate into Wall Street and financial services rather than politics, and buy whatever politicians or regulators they need to achieve their purposes. If it’s clear that a smart psychopath has plowed their way to the top, best plan is to leave ASAP, whether it’s an enterprise or a country. The people who facilitate their rise, and then hang around, get the governance they deserve.
