Spoiler alert: No, it fucking doesn’t.

    Well, nearly all those people had and have to power to vote. They got the government they deserved. Are they “economically trapped” to vote Republican?

      I think generalising across the whole group like that is what got us into this mess.

        Yes, I know, and this has been done by people who got voted into power in the past. Texas has a history of f-ed up governments.

        BUT: There are millions in Texas who don’t care enough for their future to go to the polls, or even f-ing register to vote. Yes, it is more difficult than in civilized countries, but millions in Texas simply ignore the only way they have to change the situation. See here.

      How do you feel about your GOP-majority House of Representatives? I guess you just didn’t vote hard enough.

        Luckily my country is not led by fundamentalist neo-fashists like the US. I wish your president all the best for the next election. Trump in the white house would be a catastrope for the whole world.
