The problem in Texas is largely the same as in the US house and senate: The fake republicans and democrats are a majority. Too many clueless voters keep re-electing assistant democrats. The speakers of the Texas house are always Paul Ryan types.
It’s the capital of Texas for heavens sakes. Abbott needs to do more than make suggestions. A lot more.
Screw open-carry let’s do “in hand safety off” carry in some of these places.
Idaho and Florida have a reputation for being anti-woke. But I'm sure the Left is working on that.
Enjoy, Austin.
Abbott criticized the indictments of Austin police and said he might pardon them if they are convicted. Meanwhile the city coucil OKed payments for 2 people injured by bean bags fired at them. Some of the bean bags allegedly had expired. Lawyers for the officers said the bean bags were “unknowingly defective.”

didn’t work. Oh well F em.
Those saying Austin police are too harsh should live in San Antonio and tell me they are better there.
Woke is a cancer of the mind and humanity.
Idaho will definitely change in the coming decade. It won’t be a blue state any time soon, but it’s on the path largely through West Coast migration.
My man
My fav nick!
Guess the feds will have to take over, as planned.
I have a friend who lives downtown west side of 35, and he’s been mugged at gunpoint twice in the last 2 years.
A traffic-drenched nightmare of a city, it will be a smoking hole in the ground in 10 years.
Another Democrat run and ruined city. At least they are consistent in their destruction.
One factor is the college kids who come and stay forever. Easy to brainwash with nonsense, evidently.

I may be factually wrong around 1-2% and unlike 99% here I admit it
I’ve lived in both cities although far longer in Nashville which is contradictory considering I like Austin better

Actually I think I was wrong
Nashville is about same size now because nash metro is a lot more than Franklin and Nashville proper and Murfreesboro
