likely re-elect him. Living in Texas these days is truly like living is a dystopian world. Believe it or not it has not always been like this. The Conservative movement since 1980 has destroyed this nation and my home state (with a few exceptions).

You have my sincerest sympathies. I could never imagine living there and being surrounded by the Morons who put these Assholes in office.

in the early seventies. When I left, I swore I'd never go back not even for a visit and it wasn't nearly as bad then. I can't begin to imagine living there now.

"Since he was elected, Paxton has used his office to file an endless barrage of lawsuits targeting the culture-war obsessions of the Trumpified GOP. All the while, his legal troubles have continued to stack up. Soon after taking office, Paxton was indicted on felony charges of securities fraud, though he’s thus far managed to avoid facing trial. He is also currently under FBI investigation for allegations of corruption and bribery stemming from his relationship with a prominent real estate developer in Austin that arose ahead of the 2020 elections."
