I agree but in a more rational sense regarding the governing system that we’ve allowed to go almost unchallenged across the country.

A lot of people with a lot of data realized that if they turn the presidental election into a huge WWE spectacle with narratives and villains and heroes and “everything on the line” then the average American will basically tune out the boring, local community, state and county elections.

Your local elections, your community, those are the places that prop up these corrupt judges and congresspeople and senators and everyone in the highest seats of power who create and block legislation.

It’s wild because we’re all screaming and crying that Trump has placed judges across the country in key positions to get him off of criminal charges, when we have the same power to shape the same systems with our involvement.

I know it sucks and sounds like there’s no real way to tackle the local government problem, especially if you’re not social and don’t know your neighbors. But volunteers make a huge difference and it’s very likely we would have already had a second Trump victory if it wasn’t for volunteers in key states making calls and coordinating with the local democratic groups. We’re not trying to argue our way to victory in this kind of work, we’re just pushing a needle, you don’t need to be persuasive or even social, you can make a difference just by educating people around you who is running for what, and what their values are, it can be with phone banking or distributing clever memes in local message boards, just start caring about the world outside your door and someday we won’t be faced with these depressing choices every four years.

One of Abbott’s cronies openly admitted the state would have gone for Biden unless they intervened. The state is very purple, but the red traitors have gerrymandered on the state level as well to maintain power.

To further your analogy, the mold you see on the surface is just the tip of the iceberg it’s mycelium has already dug much deeper into the loaf.

So literally every person who lives there is bad now? I’m sure all the people directly suffering under abbot and Paxton will be thrilled

Replace state of Texas with a race of your choosing, that’s the same mindset they have… How ironic 😼
