In reply to the discussion: I see the Texas bashing is full force. [View all]SmartVoter22
(639 posts)28. As a Wisconsinite, I'm enjoying watching you deal with our regular -below zero temps.
Good luck with the weather. Stay home, start you car and run it for 10 mins if that cold, and forget about normalicy until your overnight temps are above freezing.
Politics, well you are one of the more dysfuntional poltical states and for good reason. You've rarely had good reasons, and you folks were the 1960's Southern Dems that so easily floated over to nixon and the racist right wing of the Democrats.
I agree, today is a huge difference, and you are doing a lot better. But until you can have dependable, repeatable Democratic electeds in office, we'll have to let you show us your mettle.
Good Luck Texas. You are on the better course, and keep up the "Good Trouble".

Amazing they never seem to blame Texas Republicans! Nope. Now it's Pres. Biden's fault.

The best thing they could have done was leave the water run a trickle during the cold weather,
