@fkamiah17 I despise that man and his band of arrogant creatures. Every election, I pray for a blue Texas. The current band of culls are moving us backward so fast, I fear our collective tumping over.
@fkamiah17 Beto gave it a good shot, but he never stood a chance at winning over any good ol' boys who might have been on the fence. The influx of California Libs might have tipped the balance but they flee soon after their first hotter'n'hell summers here. I like Allred, seems like a solid guy, but I'm not holding my breath. Bubba and his tribe are frightened, angry, threatened, and murder in their hearts waxes stronger every week. The more GOP rot is exposed, the deeper they entrench in it. 🤨🤪
@fkamiah17 I wouldn't want to offend by muddling in Brit politics, but yeah, I esteem the Tories about as much or less than I do our Texas GOP. They did a real number on you guys with Brexit, disastrous for the nation. Hubby and I are anglophiles, and it breaks my heart to read about the suffering the British people are enduring subsequent to Brexit. Winter especially seemed brutal, too many choosing food or heat. Barbaric. Thought we had all evolved further than this. 😔
@Cotopaxi You couldn't possibly offend - there are no good guys here any more. Winter last year (22/23) was worse, lots of old people froze to death. Now we've got Victorian diseases like rickets back in circulation.
I miss the 90s. Everything's seemed to go backwards this century.
@fkamiah17 Empathy, hugs, and a comforting cuppa to you, friend. Our mutual conservative governments couldn't care less about the public they're sworn to serve, whether we have shelter, food, medical care, education--civilization, in short. They're masterful manipulators of fear, using it like a scalpel to cut away not only the threads that bind the fabric of society, but even the memory of that fabric. Dangerous country for all of us, and I fervently hope we can turn this around.
@fkamiah17 Before Texas goes blue--or even magenta--we need a much heftier voting wedge of people who want change, will work for it, and will vote for it. This state has been about white male patriarchy and wealth most of its history, and those benefitting from power will stoop to any amount of dirty tricks to hold it. This is why education and women's health especially are unsupported here. The No Child Left Behind policy that started mass erosion of national public education started here.
