24. These are the kind of laws Texans voted for.

They know perfectly well what their legislature and Governor wants to do.

They have been chipping away for years now at rights that those of us in blue states enjoy.

This is not a surprise.

It is what they want.

I’m so over caring what these red states do.

I do not expect Texans to have an epiphany and vote any of these people out because they love these kind of laws.
