1. It's not only Abbot

I hate the entire shit hole state of Texas!! And please none of that painting with a broad brush crap...Texas is the way it is, because the majority of the people there are evil fucks...

As for the good people...they don't have and will never have enough votes to stem the tide of evil that covers the state!!!

2. Just a tad broad-brush there, Podna'.

That's alright. We Texas DU'ers have put up with decades of such unhinged hatred.

3. Excellent Comments nt

5. Trust me. We know.

Can you imagine what it’s like for us down here? We continue to fight…

[TxGuitar]

10. And what perfect progressive utopian state do you live in?

With no crackpots or crazies, no gerrymandered districts, no crazy congresspeople?

[panader0]

12. One of the things I really dislike on DU is state bashing.

You know there are lots of good Democrats in Texas right? Remember how Beto almost
beat Cruz? So you hate them too? Every red state has many good Democrats.

16. I used to think that. But then saw this interesting clip about which states are becoming more

Blue and why. It makes perfect sense. It’s going to happen and there won’t be anything they can do to stop it.

Liberals everywhere are on the move and bringing their voting habits with them. This is the very reason AZ is now blue and why they and other states like TX are pulling the shit they are. They are TERRIFIED

4. I live in Texas.

Because such huge swaths of land are scarcely populated, or not populated at all, those areas have too much influence in the state's politics. In my opinion, the state needs to be divided into 4 or more states. That way Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio and the Rio Grande Valley can have the sort of influence Chicago has on Illinois.

[hamsterjill]

6. Totally agree.

I’m in SA and the rural areas have much more influence state wide than the millions of us in the cities.

But we will not see reform because the Republicans have made it exactly how they want it.

9. ive suggested this

split texas along i-10 and i-35
dallas,austin,san antonio and over to houston.
make it one state and watch the rest of texas wither and die

7. Our latest rescue was a forced rescue from Texas.

Disregard for an animals suffering is part of being a macho man.

[hamsterjill]

8. Thank you.

There are many people and organizations that adopt from our shit hole that is Texas, and those of us in rescue down here sincerely appreciate the help.

[snort]

13. You're welcome.

It's worth the effort. At 7 months she was an underweight puppy terrified of everything. At 15 months she's a non stop ball of energy tearing up the back yard. We're just fine with that. We'll be adopting another rescue soon.

[hamsterjill]

15. So happy to hear that.

Again, my sincere and heartfelt thanks. There are so many down here needing help. People work very hard, both in Texas, and out side of the state to get the transports made and save as many as possible.

Could not happen without adopters like you.

Anyone else thinking of adopting, please consider Texas. There are ways to get a needy pet to good homes across the country.

11. Why not post a paragraph? Nt
