How stupid is Texas?

Texas has been controlled by the GOP since 1997 and in every election in the last thirty years they run on a platform of fixing the problems in Texas.

WTF have they been doing for 30 years?

"Garbage state, garbage judges, garbage senators, garbage governors."

And why the mega-oligarchs are moving their businesses to the violent Lone Star State.

Ex-POTUS Joe Biden provided Texas with billions of dollars of infrastructure money, to no avail.

In 1963, JFK tried to personally win over Texans -- and for his pains paid the ultimate price.

Comely young Texicana, you are indeed correct:
