Texas by the numbers and it aint good!

After 20 years of republican rule in Texas with 8 years as Governor, here is Abbott’s record:

#1 in total rapes. https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/rape-statistics-by-state
#5 in highest home insurance rates. https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/insurance/home-insurance-texas
#1 in mass shootings. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/articles/2022-05-27/states-with-the-most-school-shootings
#1 in unisured. https://comptroller.texas.gov/economy/fiscal-notes/2020/oct/uninsured.php

Cause they’d just stop rape from happening in Texas? Not word for word but that was basically his justification.

But I pay 1000 a year combined home and auto insurance with Farmer's.

I cut a couple of corners for stuff I don't have or need insured, but it's more or less your standard basic homeowners policy which currently covers the value of my home and the stuff in it.

Granted, my home is only five years old so that helps.

Where do you live? I live 30 miles from the coast. 4000/year insurance for the home. $1400 for cars.
Webster Texas. 20 years ago I paid $500/year.

Abbutt knows what Texas' real problem is!!!

Welcome to Red State aMAGAca, where spending 8 years turning your state into a third-world shithole... has a good chance of getting you elected for 4 more!
