It is a shame to see what's happening there now that they have given the Democratic party full control over the state's mechanisms. I think it's striking that one of their 'day one' bills was to forbid election audits and hand-recounts of machine-counted ballots.
The blue cities keep pushing not just to consolidate their wealth and power, but to destroy the culture of the more traditional parts of the states they dominate. Every time they gain power, the cities press for abortion until the moment of birth (to include partial birth), DEI programs to re-educate the population (witness the day-one attacks on VMI), and of course the most expansive gun control they can squeeze through (in defiance of the Supreme Court as well as the state's traditional laws).
It's always sad to watch.

Sad is not the word I would choose.
The Warren court is the origin of this.
Reynolds vs Sims gave total power to the cities, exactly what the founders feared would happen.
The apportioning of state Senators by population, instead of by county, eliminated any rural power.
So every state slides inexorably into socialism, despite almost all of them having most counties on the conservative side.
The recent change is this- it seems when the dem/socialists get power, they are now going all out. There is not even a token attempt at consensus or compromise- they are going do whatever they feel like and the hell with the rest of us.
There is open talk now of retribution on conservatives. I expect it to devolve from officers of the administration, to supporters, and finally down to voter registration.
It is going to come to war. I don't know when, or what the spark will be, but we are no longer one people- we are two societies with diametrically opposed ideas on culture and governance. There is no middle ground left.
And nowhere to run.
