Clearly the voters there prioritize other things like controlling women’s bodies with abortion bans, extremely lax gun laws, and making sure there’s no safety net for anyone. They also like their politicians as corrupt as they can get like Cruz, Patrick, and Abbot.

No democrat has won statewide in Texas in over 30 years. The last time was 1994!
