That's a characteristic of a hopeless rubeville.

You missed the part about the wealthier White municipalities controlling the state government making it harder and harder on the poor majority black rural counties. The GOP wraps itself in the shroud of tourin to get the Christian vote, then turns around and does nothing to help and support the poor.
 
It’s like Alabama is jealous and has serious FOMO because everyone makes “at least we aren’t Mississippi” jokes
 
BTW, I'm planning a vacation to Tourin to see that shroud.
 
"“What law do you follow? Do you follow the state of Alabama or do you follow federal law?" Culverhouse said. "What example does the state of Alabama set for people who want to be lawyers if they purposefully pass a law that they know is unconstitutional?”"

That's a great point.
 
It really is. On the other hand, it’s a bad move for universities to take gifts that are contingent on the laws of the state.
 
Pulling out of Georgia will have no impact on the people that wanted the law passed. It’s going to hurt metro Atlanta.

Nobody in bumfuck GA gives a shit if Hollywood leaves because they were never there.
 
Pulling out prevents abortions but it doesn’t prevent anti-abortion laws.
 
I'd like to hear more about how Metro Atlanta is a bastion of liberal thought.
 
No, compared to actual bastions of liberal thought.
 
I never said (and would never say) that it is. But as the map shows, metro Atlanta voted overwhelmingly for the candidate that did not campaign on signing the toughest abortion laws in the nation.
 
Yeah Atlanta is about as liberal as you are going to get in the south and more the point overwhelming at all levels voted for people not wanting to make shitty abortion laws.

Maps like that really put stark relief on our current divisions. Many of those rural counties voted GOP by 70% or more, while nearly all of the state's larger cities - the inner Atlanta metro area, Macon, Savannah, Augusta, Columbus, Albany, etc. all voted Democratic, sometimes by 60-65% or better. That's bad news for the GA GOP in the long run, as the Atlanta area and other cities grow, and the rural areas continue to shrink or stagnate, Georgia will eventually reach a tipping point. In the short run, though, the urban/rural split does seem to make it tougher on the Democrats, in other states as well as Georgia.
 
It's called brain drain for a reason.

The people who are actually around other people and don't just hear about them on the internet tend to not be scared so easily.
