What THE FUCK do they actually admire about Texas?

The ban on abortions?

The mass-shootings in schools, restaurants, supermarkets?

The fact it’s much harder for employees to join a labor union ?

Prescription drug prices that are among the highest in the world?

The mandatory bible 10 commandments in public schools?

This crap is making me angry. Sorry I needed to rent.

    Texas has power outages for days at a time. People get rocked by astronomical utility bills. Also, Texas has boil water advisories for big population centres in one of the richest states in the US.

    There’s nothing to covet here. It’s an embarrassment.

      I have a MAGA aunt that lived in Texas: the sort that unironically bitches about “welfare queens” and “socialism” while being entirely dependent on social security disability benefits and Medicaid.

      When her health took a turn for the worse a few years ago my dad and cousin helped her move north – which is why she’s still alive considering the “healthcare” she had in Texas.
