Why is Texas such a clown show?

Gerrymandering which keeps the clowns in power.

Mostly the people who live there and vote.

I’ve lived and voted here all my life, and never once have I voted for a repuglicunt like Paxton or Abbott.

Weird then that these people keep getting voted for, have you tried voting harder since you represent the majority of Texans?

Turns out land votes more than people around here, and being in Austin doesn’t help my vote to count for more. Still, I’m (mostly) around like-minded folks here but I plan on moving in the next few years.

That land votes hard... and we have a lovely slice through all of austin that goes to a bunch of nothing... gotta make sure those votes are watered down =/

Remember Ken Paxton is a criminal

Should be disbarred and in jail... power is lovely in a complacent state.

Are lizards too small for small government?
