Can anybody outside the state fix this. I'm not from the US so just wondering if it could be fixed through federal means

Well seeing as how the republican far right speakers have passed so many laws making it "State laws" that prevent the higher ups in Washington DC from intervention in the law making process, they basically have been given full reign to do and pass whatever they want and legally the federal gov can't do anything about its because the states citizens elected these officials (these douche bags) to represent them and since its unchecked power and they have a majority party they can do and say pretty much anything without having to answer to anyone or face consequences its highly corrupt and fucking scary how far all this has gotten but they're doing this mad dash scramble for power as much as they can while they can because a new age of Republican voters with views that don't align with these old rep senators they are terrified because they know they will be on there way out soon but the damage they are doing now and will continue to do is pretty much Reprehensible

I hope regardless of political affiliations this nonsense will be resolve. But I feel your massive anger. It feels justified l. But with a system that works like this. When democrats get in charge they change the system rather than use it to their own ends.

I think the system needs changing. But I do understand the pain of the people who are are hurting now
