In reply to the discussion: Texas House approves GOP congressional map after two-week delay from Democrats' walkout [View all]Keepthesoulalive
(1,679 posts)32. It is the Democratic Party
Ultimately it is the people of Texas that have decided republicans are great. Deadly floods , ice storms and the governors response to Uvalde, a corrupt attorney general and things that would make thinking and feeling people vote for an armadillo before they would vote for a republican . There are no cakewalk elections in the United States because Americans are hopelessly brainwashed and selfish. Democrats can hold press conferences, no one will know about it because it will not be covered but if the fat one farts they will tell you he sprayed fancy French perfume. You can blame anyone you choose but the fault is with the American people.
