For them, that "better place" is fascism.Every time, all across the country. GOP is inciting outrage for reelection in the backs of taxpayers. Countless audits and recounts. Disney tax status. Blocking ACA. It's all the same.
When with the GOP decide its time to govern and push America to a better place?
Stupid Texas voters
Texans deserve every bit of this
Gerrymandering may have have screwed the legislature, but it was an at-large vote that installed Abbott as governor and the other clown as AG.Yes, because they all voted for Abbot and the Republicans?
See, it worked!! Those illegals and drugs went to Cali instead!!Not only this result, but Abbot's political stunt also totally failed at it's purported goals-not one single illegal immigrant or illegal drug importation was found.

I recognize that those are challenges that republicans have added as road blocks. Doesn't change the fact that the voters who could/did vote, voted for those fuckwits in the executive branch.Well from a state level election you still have voter registration purges, ballot denials (signatures), and just general fuckery down to the polling location level of making it hard to access a voting booth for poor and marginalized communities. It all adds up.
Very true. Also, voter turnout in the US is really bad. I sort of feel like Trump has maximized GOP turnout but dems have not done the same. Heck, dems are apparently losing black voters now. It boggles the mind....Well from a state level election you still have voter registration purges, ballot denials (signatures), and just general fuckery down to the polling location level of making it hard to access a voting booth for poor and marginalized communities.

jesus christ. i really don't have words to describe how horrid that is.
Educated people are not as easily manipulated by fear based propaganda. When your goal is power the last thing you want is a well educated population.jesus christ. i really don't have words to describe how horrid that is.
1) it's completely white nationalist
2) it's the exact OPPOSITE of what a competent government does - provide for its people
you WANT educated people who can function in society and build an economy. like, good fucking god, what is wrong with these people?
fuck abbott.
Meanwhile ERCOT just sent out a notice to the market that due to a day in the high 90s later this week generation may be insufficient to meet demand. Lots of thermal sources offline (gas, coal, nukes).
going to guess a lot of people aren't going to bump their thermostats up off of 72°...and they were right. The heat caused six power generation facilities to go offline. They need everyone to bump up their thermostats and avoid heavy usage during peak times. Looks like last winter taught them little.
This is an interesting point, there’s a pretty good argument that the same generation that drove a huge wave of violent crime when they were young in the 70’s and 80’s due to lead poisoned brains could be doing similar things to our politics now.Old people vote in the highest percentage, and tend to be conservatives. Old people are mentally impaired from the amount of lead exposure they experienced. Therefore, the fate of this country is being decided by the equivalent of the kids that ate paint chips. Conclusion: We are good and truly fucked.
I recently learned the guy who developed the ethyl lead gasoline additive that collectively gave the world a bit of lead poisoning also developed Freon which ended up eating a hole in the ozone layer.Old people vote in the highest percentage, and tend to be conservatives.

My AC is almost always set at 77 or higher. I only kick it lower rarely and only for short periods while I'm in the room.. Room meaning just that ... one room, the one I'm in. Not the whole house.going to guess a lot of people aren't going to bump their thermostats up off of 72°
Same here. I wasn't familiar with him until Veritasium did a vid.I recently learned the guy who developed the ethyl lead gasoline additive that collective gave the world a bit of lead poisoning also developed Freon which ended up eating a hole in the ozone layer.
Hell of a track record there
