Ken Paxton has always been the scummiest of scumfucks.

Fuck Texas politicians*

Texas has lots of cool people mixed in with lots of the trumpy kinda rednecks. The red politicians ensure their survival by gerrymandering and using voter suppression tactics (like putting only 1 absentee drop box in one of the highest pop counties in the country)

Its not because their popular, its because they cheat and refuse to investigate themselves

Sounds like people of Texas should do something. Something about rotten apple and the bunch?

Start with getting rid of Ken Paxton? How did this dude get off so easily in his trial?

I don't have all the specifics of the plan, but it'll definitely involve poop in his shoes.

How did this dude get off so easily in his trial?

Just like Trump did. Duplicitous, shitty republican (state) senators voting for their party and not their constituents

[-] _wizard@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Move. "Come and take it" has become a request.

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Stop voting for shit-ass republicans?

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

It's enough to drive a man to drink.

Hey redneck here while I may not be Texan I would ask that ya dont conflate Rednecks and Whitetrash. A solid chunk of proper Rednecks (IE not dumbfuck yuppies with accents who buy a shitty Dodge Ram and cosplay) are still pro-union even if a solid chunk of the Boomers aint.

Also yes I am gatekeeping being a Redneck if ya want me to think you are an urbanized Redneck buy a 20 year old minimum car not some loaned ta shit fucken ram 50 thousand for a fucken car is stupid.
