As wildfires burned in Southern California, scorching thousands of acres and destroying hundreds of homes, a politician from the Lone Star state posted a picture of an cartoon state of Texas grinning and kicking California in its nether regions. He was trying to whip up Texas conservatives against left coast liberals.
Hey California, heard a picture is worth a thousand words. TEXAS Lets see if its also worth a 1,000+LIKES State Representative Pat Fallon said on his campaigns Facebook page Wednesday.

Whenever they want to stir up the crowd, they find something or someone to attack. The most common victims are liberals and the Clintons.
I really don't understand that mindset.
