is tanking the economy of the state he governs for political brownie points with the most extreme conservative and authoritarian factions in the country
wastes time, money, and effort perpetrating imbecilic culture wars just to give the aforementioned psychotic political base a category of “undesirables” to direct their hate and fear towards
