Letting people do as they see fit is "government overreach". FFS. That fits right in with "war is peace" and "freedom is slavery"!
I hate conservatives so much, and that goes double for Texas Republicans.
If you punish undesirables they will rise to the occasion seems to be the conservative ideology that never ever works. Like not teaching sex ed increases abortions and single mothers instead of reducing them.
The do everything ass-backwards that accomplishes the opposite of what they want and then ignore the consequences
They've convinced themselves their (absolutely wrong) choice is the 'morally correct' one. Even LISTENING to a contradictory argument is seen as a moral 'corruption', so they just .. don't.
Trump won TX in 2020 by only 631,221 votes. If we have better turnout this year, we could make TX blue! The polls are only busy on the final day to vote, even though we have a 2 week long voting period with the polls open during the same hours as election day during the entire 2nd week of voting. Don't wait until the last day and check if your local polling places are open on the weekend!
For those in TX, the last day to register to vote is Oct 7.
Voting goes from October 21-Nov 1, with one final day to cast your vote on Nov 5.
Applications to vote by mail must be received by Oct 25.
