Texans need to speak up and do something, but I am afraid the armed and dangerous racists white christo-fascists have over run this state and will intimidate and strongarm anyone with any sense.

It is a shame these people are allowed to walk among us.

Maybe after November, when we win enough seats. We'd have to pick up like 40 house seats and 9 senate seats, though....

But, it is 2020.

If so, we could pick up some ground. I hope we can knock it out of the park and turn it around, but that is quite a lofty goal.

Miracles can happen, like you said, it is 2020.

the "fun" is only beginning. at this rate, around july 20th, it will be a fucking nightmare.

even though various events activities are cancelled, never ever underestimate the awesome power of stupidity.

we aren't going through a "second spike" this is the right wing wave of shear willful ignorance based in greed hitting us now.

money over humanity.

this is soon about to get soooooo much fucking worse.

at that point.

I just read an article about someone parsing asshole abbotts bullshit press conference regarding the bullshit metrics he uses to make the public believe "all is well".

he is, if anything, a master at misdirection. giving "facts" with no sensational hyperbole, but hyperbole never the less.

here's the link...
