    Texas deserves what it gets honestly. These people know what the issue is but keep voting against their own interest over and over

      Except there are a ton of people in those States that don’t vote against their interests and are gerrymandered out of winning

        Texas is not those states. Texas is deep red and always has been. Sure you can use that argument with swing states, but Texans would vote for a cannibal serial killer if he had a R in front of his name.

        Even after the massacre of their children, Uvalde county overwhelmingly voted Abbott, and reelected all the judges and sheriffs who did nothing while their kids died. Clearly Texans don’t even care about their kids or state, so why should I? They get what they vote for and my sympathy is at an end

          There’s a lot of people that don’t vote because they think it’s pointless to vote against Republicans in a red state, creating a self fulfilling prophecy.
