I hope Texans enjoy having their taxpayer dollars wasted. Because that’s what they’ve voted for, and that’s all this will do, because acetaminophen absolutely the fuck does not cause autism
The joke of Texas Politics is that we've got Reagan Republicans on the right and Dixiecrat Democrats on the ahem left. Then we're told to pick our poison. If you're waiting for Congressman Henry Cuellar and Mayor John Whitmire to save you, then you'll be waiting a long time.
There are plenty of genuinely good and gracious people in my state. Come down to Houston and help "Food Not Bombs" hand out meals to the homeless as fast as we can, before the HPD can knock over our tables and drag the volunteers off in handcuffs. Come join the Women's March that filled the streets of downtown. We have them ever year. Or join the local DSA that's been crusading to unionize the retail sectors and boycott IDF-affiliated terrorist organizations for over a decade.
Or just stay for the electoralism, where you can wait in line for seven hours to cast a ballot and get arrested at the end of it. The idea that "this is what we voted for" is a fucking lie. We're occupied territory. About as free to govern ourselves as any Hawaiian native protesting the United Fruit Company or Okinawa resident getting raped by a US serviceman.
Pretty much sums up TX politics. Criminals run the state
I hear perfection is the enemy of 'better', but don't let that stop you from incremental improvement more than it has.
