21. My impression of Texas in general (politically and economically speaking)
Wed May 15, 2024, 01:03 AM
May 2024

Is one big radically FAR right dominated entity whose laws and institutions are crafted by and for the benefit of the wealthy, big business, and the politically well connected.

Hell, The state has been governed by an attorney general who's been under indictment for alleged criminal activity for, how long?

And the MAGA right wingers in Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana are on the same track. They seem to be in a footrace to join Texas by trying to out-Maga each other.

The South shall Reich again.
