Unfortunately, the same thing that happened here 40 years ago is happening to the other States. The people that voted in this crap are also tired of it and are moving to other States to start ruining them with their votes.
Once the big 'progressive' cities in any State gets more votes than the rest of the State things start to change. And make no mistake, it is happening.
I remember when "Pacific Northwestern California" became a thing. The flood of 'Cali's' started coming up here in mass in the 80's. There were articles in the papers about it. They liked the "laid back easy going" lifestyle of Seattle at the time and started making changes (voting) almost immediately.
As was stated at the time by a politician, and I repeat often:
"Every vote I need I can see from the top of the Space Needle."
It has been disheartening to see the demise of Washington hunting, fishing and related items.
