    I guess that’ll be the “find out” phase for the Texas electorate

      Including all of those who voted like you wanted. They deserved it for being outnumbered, after all.

      Rejoicing in suffering like this is ghoulish.

        And that sucks for everyone who explicitly voted against this nonsense, but the simple fact of the matter is that many, many people didn’t care enough vote at all. Finding some schadenfreude in the latter’s upcoming woes, quite honestly, is a coping mechanism that ultimately causes no additional harm.

          But it makes you happy that they’re gonna suffer. Centrism manifest.

          Fuck do you want us to do about em.

          Democrats had four years, which they squandered. Now they’re gloating at people who were outnumbered.
