The situation tells us that there are very few decent Texans.

Even the most vile Southerners are polite in the company of others.

The situation tells us that there are very few decent Texans.

The state is comically gerrymandered and rigorously disenchrancised. We have majority black counties where a single voting location will have a seven hour queue, sky high incarceration rates intended to disenfranchise huge swaths of the public, and some of the most reactionary public TV and radio combined with the most poorly funded and badly administered education.

This is a controlled population. People will talk shit about Russia and North Korea. But Texas is running right along beside them.

Only question is how long until Texas fully embraces the kind of ethnic cleansing common to Israel.

And yet Texans dont pick up their guns they like bragging about and FUCKING FIX IT.

Gerrymandered?...sure. And Texans approve. Not buying the "omg we're so helpless!" bullshit from the people who never shut up about how goddamn tough they are.

At the Nazis. At Paxton. At Abbott.

Good luck with getting a firearm inside spitting distance of a state official.
