 One reason why I post so angrily about Texas is that I quite like it here, Texans are by and large good people, and they deserve so much better than this shitty government that the oil oligarchs have foisted on them. 
 @a461cadf In my experience, Austin is not very representative of Texas as a whole. 
 @a461cadf I’ve never lived in Texas, but I think if they were by and large good people, they wouldn’t have elected so many screaming fascist assholes to their government. 

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and repeatedly elects wannabe fascist ducks, then for all intents and purposes it’s a duck too

They could stop voting for Rs.
