'Maryland's a lost cause,' Carroll County State's Attorney moving out of state after term

Longtime resident and Carroll County State's Attorney Haven Shoemaker believes Maryland is a lost cause, and after his term ends, he said he's leaving the state.
"Wes Moore and the Democrats in the General Assembly, you've won. I'm leaving," Shoemaker said.
Shoemaker says he's lived in Maryland his whole life for 61 years. He's worked in different roles in local and state offices, but says that once his term ends this December, he will not be renewing it and will move out of state to North Carolina.
Shoemaker pointed to several issues from this past legislative session that drove his decision.
Including the Youth Charging Reform Act, which ends automatic charging of 16-and 17-year-olds as adults for certain drug, assault, and gun offenses.
"It's more criminal coddling legislation that we see emanating from Annapolis every single year," Shoemaker said.
As well as changes to immigration reform, including the Community Trust Act, which seeks to further limit ICE cooperation in Maryland.
Shoemaker also added the ban of the 287G program, which had allowed local law enforcement to collaborate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in identifying and detaining undocumented immigrants in detention centers, which was signed into law by Governor Wes Moore.
"They were just telltale signs that Maryland's lost," Shoemaker said.
Plus, the $1.6 billion dollars in new or increased taxes and fees enacted last year.
Not sure NC is not headed in the same direction, but good to see he's taking action.

Dem Objective is to turn every state in the USA into MD, VA, CA , NY and IL.
They are making good progress IMHO.
Going to be very tough to stop them, in the long run. Check back with me in 100 years. I'll bet it's much worse for our side.

Yes.
No point in throwing good money after bad in a state where Republicans have virtually NO representation.

The western part of Maryland and the Eastern Shore are the only reasons it isn't in the running for the worst state in America.

This is happening all over the country. There’s a lot of gnashing of teeth about the VA vote last night, but moves like that will make many conservatives choose to move to other states.

Glad we're saving our nukes from use in Iran.

We need more Yankees here in FL to tell us how great it is up north.

If he's moving to North Carolina, I hope he doesn't plan on moving the Charlotte or Ashville because I have some news for him.

None of this matters. We only have about 3 - 5 years left before AI begins large scale elimination of humanity.

We won’t stop them. Republicans want what the demorats fight for. They pretend to be the opposition party, but they aren’t. Just look how many actively support the Trump administration. None to speak of on a consistent basis.

Did the Templars not fight to the death at Acre in 1291?
We should emulate them and never stop fighting.

Demographics are your destiny. We’re fricked.

How so? The Red states have way more births than Blue states. Many democrats have no kids or just 1. And many democrat voters are baby boomers. They'll be dead in 10 years.

Europe was lost by people that quit fighting.

That's telling em.
Liberals now will be astonished how liberal this country is in 50 years.

At least the "Libertarians" and "independents" in the state can hold their heads up high knowing "it's not my fault, I didn't vote for [anyone]." That's what's most important to them.

You see the way Maryland went right. Observe closely. Virginia is headed that way. I have lived in both states and the writing is on the wall.

The whole country is headed that way. Democrats are like locusts destroying one state after another
