Texas

RE: Texas
When Texas begins it's subjugation of the rest of the US there will be a special treatment reserved for you, Min.

It's not that you point out the batshit crazy shit that happens in Texas. It's that you ONLY point out the negative shit.

The good shit? Eh, not worth mentioning.

Even if you find negative news about another state that has nothing to do with Texas you STILL take a dig at Texas when posting it.

Let's look at another article from the same website you just posted on.

Quote:Republicans spur progressive movement in Texas by middle class and poor

Many cringe whenever they hear that Texas is a Red state. Demographically it seems impossible. Texas is a majority minority state. Specifically, non-Latino Whites make up 44 percent of the state. Latinos make up 38 percent of the state, Blacks 12 percent and Asians 4 percent.
...
Republican control of Texas is effected by the fact that Texas is ranked 51st in voting.
...
Texans have not been mad enough to rebel against Republican politicians. For a long time they have just been apathetic. Things were bad, but not bad enough to elicit massive action. They were not bad enough to generate an organic grassroots movement emanating from the middle class and the poor.
...
This session, however, was the straw that tipped the scales. SB5/SB1 which effectively shuts down abortions in most of the state along with other medical infringements on women’s right and bodies would not go unnoticed. Women and men from all corners of Texas revolted. It caught Republicans by surprise.
...
Republicans have done a humongous favor to the progressive movement in Texas. There have always been progressives in Texas, from President Lyndon Johnson to Gov. Ann Richards. Rick Perry and his Republican cohorts overreaching will be seen going forward as the rebirth of the progressive movement in Texas.

Texas Republicans just fucked themselves.
