      They’re breeding more broke idiots. In 20 years they’ll be the new crop of Republican voters, and the cycle repeats.

      “Idiots” because of the simultaneous war on education, I mean. Not because they’re from Texas.

        They’re also passing laws like this to make left leaning people flee the state and cement their grip on the power. I used to think this idea was veering into conspiracy theory territory (and technically it still is without proof) but I’m more and more convinced it’s part of the plan. Raise idiots by destroying education and pumping them full of propaganda, gerrymand local districts, and make the libruls leave. Trifecta!

      I really, really hope so.

      But remember, Greg Abbott started all this bullshit back in 2021 when he pushed his 6 week “heart beat” ban, and it went all the way up to SCOTUS to determine if it was viable.

      Then Texas elected him to Governor again. So I’m not holding my breath.

      Texas simply does not gaf about anyone who isn’t a rich white heterosexual male.

      Texas is the State of Hate.
