Legit question: it's obvious that there aren't going to be any changes until Abbott and friends are gone.
Why do y'all keep electing him?
๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ He hurts the right people, I guess.
And too many people who would vote against the current leadership don't vote at all. It's been really frustrating trying to convince some of my friends to vote. Even some LGBTQ+ friends of mine don't vote. I guess they think it doesn't matter, that better candidates won't win anyway. Voter apathy is a bitch, man.
It's really hard to vote in cities because they severely restrict polling sites, while every church in a 1 gas-station town is a polling place.
This is for historical reasons in the south, much easier to keep political control if you're the only ones who can effectively vote.
