Even if they’d all voted for him, they still deserve help from FEMA. Democrats believe everyone gets to have help after disasters. It’s only the GOP that politicizes this.

Voter suppression & racial gerrymandering. Harris cheated out of 3,650,000 votes by these Jim Crow tricks. 4.7 million voters purged. 3.2 million registrations rejected. 2.1 million mail-in ballots tossed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_Xd...

I had no idea the gerrymandering was that bad down there. I’m so sorry

Less than half of Texans of voting age actually voted. Of registered voters in Texas only 61% actually bothered to vote

I'm happy to get into the ramifications of Shelby v Holder if that's what you'd like to discuss!

Texas has historically had low voter turnout, even in the Jim Crow days. It appears to be a cultural issue for some in the state to let the bosses handle things. Add in actual racist vote suppression and you get the state legislature.

I have long suspected that many people on the left are just a couple of tequila shots from being fascists in the opposite direction. A very leftist relative of mine, for example, doesn’t see that “re-education camps” for MAGA are STILL A VERY BAD THING, ACTUALLY 🙄

Came to this conclusion a while back about some members of the LGBT+ community. Like Jenner, they’re only liberal because they’re queer. If they weren’t born that way, they would be just as conservative as the rest of their family.

Even less since nowhere even remotely close to a 100% of adults voted Plus everybody seems to ignore ore that there are children who live in tx too

20% is the % of the entire population including non-voters and children!

I think part of it is there are a lot of people who can’t (or won’t) come to terms with the idea we may not be able to “just vote!” our way out of this. And they gotta put the blame somewhere.

And rather than look inward and realize “oh, maybe our voter outreach method of ‘vote for our team, idiots!’ is maybe not great!” they’d rather get on here and gloat about innocent people dying or losing their homes.

Even if you're not going to be a human being with compassion in your heart, how is it not embarrassing to be out here saying shit this fucking ignorant?? You sound as low-information as you accuse them of being.

I'm going to try to keep it moving on this topic going forward because I've got too much to do to bitch ONE MORE TIME about shitheads who should just go on my blocklist. But man. Even if you can't fix your heart, fix your fucking head.

last comment: this thread is not about whether people who DID explicitly vote for him deserve this--that is for your own moral framework to grapple with. My point is that we have so little civic literacy at this point, people have delegated their moral framework to the fucking electoral college.

Kinda wild that some of the same people who are loudest about gerrymandering will immediately blame voters in the most heavily gerrymandered areas instead of the system that allows their voices to be silenced.

Checks notes. All the Texas electoral votes went for the orange clown.

Living here in Texas and seeing all of its problems as well as its good qualities, what we need here is HELP. Instead, we get written off as a lost-cause state full of Neanderthals by people miles away from the realities we have to suffer through. It's exhausting.
