Texas Democrats in the state legislature denied its speaker a legislative quorum Monday by leaving the state, forestalling plans proposed by the White House to redistrict Texas’s congressional lines to more greatly favor Republicans.
Democrats hold 62 of the 150 seats in the legislature’s lower chamber, so as long as at least 51 members remain out of Austin, the Texas legislature cannot move forward with any votes, including a plan to redraw the state’s congressional maps to give Republicans five more seats in Congress.
In an extraordinary escalation, the state’s Republican governor, Greg Abbott, said he he had ordered the Texas department of public safety to “locate, arrest and return to the House chamber any member who has abandoned their duty to Texans”
Every single conservative Christian votes trump because they are conservative, not because they are Christian
They then build grand justifications in their head independent of all facts that align their conservative vote with their Christian framework. It is so funny to watch them justify the actions of a pedophile rapist who spits on everything Jesus taught.
The thing is, not every non-conservative Christian votes, and not everyone votes Democrat.
So even though we are 80% of the population of Christians, we make up less than 40% of Christian voters
The thing is, only 27% of the population identifies as a conservative Christian, with the total population being around 64%, meaning 37% of non-conservative Christians outnumber conservative Christians
but most vote 3rd party or don’t vote at all
I don’t really blame cheetolini’s supporters, they don’t really have conscious thought and just follow whoever is the biggest and loudest on the repugnican ticket
I really blame never-Harris progressives, non-voters, and 3rd party voters of which the majority of remaining Christians are.
I on the other hand am a blue voting theistic Christian and I"m done with being treated like shit by the rest of you progressives
If 27% of Americans identify as conservative Christians, and 64% are Christian, that means 42% of Christians are conservative, not 20%…
