Fighting Fire with Fire (Democrats Next Move to Counter Texas Republicans)

 

 

IT’S TIME FOR DEMOCRATS NATIONWIDE TO “GO NUCLEAR” ON TEXAS REPUBLICANS

Remember when conservatives once stood up for Constitutional principles and espoused a deep commitment to institutional traditions?

Not anymore.

Certainly not in Texas, the state of my birth and the lone star of current mass ignorance and blatant hypocrisy, as it continues to soil it’s dismal rankings near the bottom of nearly every statistical metric on quality of life
