Texans get a lot of crap here [View all]

It would be good to remember that more than 5 million Texans voted for Biden in 2020. A total only surpassed by California. We Democrats suffer enough abuse in our own state and it is depressing that it happens here on a regular basis. And I am not talking about comments relating to political office holders. Earlier today there was a post wishing all Texans to drown.This apparently is not a safe place for Texas Democrats.
