Wait. Texas hasn't lynched his ass yet? Damn. I just assumed those cowboys'd getterdun already. Hunh. Must be more talk than walk, I guess.
Texas deserves what it voted for at this point
Yes, the children who aren't even old enough to vote and the people who vote blue clearly deserve to freeze to death while the politicians other people put in power make callous jokes about it.
I mean, I'm a Blue voter here who will leave the moment my work contract is up.
At this point, I've also thrown up my hands and been like "Fuck it. Those of us who tried, tried. Texas deserves what it gets."
I'll keep voting Blue until I bounce somewhere else, but idk how else you want us to feel. It's like screaming into a void here. Abbott had already pushed the 6 week "heartbeat bill", before he got re elected in 2022. That didn't scare Texans then.
It feels like people want oppression here.
So what should we do? Storm Texas and remove their elected official cause they're not good for the people who didn't vote for him?
