Law Are you surprised that Texas has made the move to push many conservative laws recently?

Honestly both parties are catering to their fringes and passing absurd bullshit.

Texas is just the republican version. California is the democrat side of the coin.

Yeah, everything is so partisan that they know they can cater to the fringes and the more moderate members of their party will still go along because what are they going to do, vote for the other guys? Hah!
 
Texas really should be it's own nation. Let's be honest.
 
What conservatives need to do is exactly that...do conservative shit. If the GOP wants to just be Dems who are 5 years slow, they will die. America needs actual conservatives.
 
Texas is in cope mode right now.

Not going to happen because hollywood isn't coming with the immigration. People move there because it is more friendly in general on your wallet. As people make more money they care less and less about liberal pipe dreams and more about maintaining their wealth. People become more conservative as they age, not more liberal. Maybe they will take the party back from the nuthouse Republicans though.

That's not really true, it's that what is considered conservative changes. Look at how society has shifted on drugs, race, gender, sexuality, over the past 40 years. Healthcare and climate change more recently. Republicans have moved on some of these issues and will have to move even further to stay relevant.
 
Texas should be standing up for what's right. Good on them, because aborting babies is evil

The usual hook for the GOP (religion and the invasion into people's private lives) is losing popularity, and I theorize that this is what is really driving their current gravitation towards conspiracies. They are desperate to get enough votes because they didn't move on those issues like you said. Regardless, we aren't headed towards a liberal nightmare. These people will gravitate the left more towards the center or they will gravitate the right more towards the center.

As outside observer these 3 seems good
Other ones are bullshit
 
When republicans actually care about children who are born ill be shocked. Until that time this is just food for the fringe ultra religious wacked out nut job conservatives that ruin this nation on a daily basis.

It's certainly incoherent to be in favor of banning abortion while simultaneously wanting to strip the socioeconomic safety net programs that a large number of those precious human lives will depend on and instead just have them go die in a gutter somewhere. I'd think any would-be parents who seriously entertain the idea of aborting their child probably aren't fit to be one and aside from an inability to provide for them financially, the ramifications of shitty parents in general is another factor that looms large on society. I don't like abortion and actually find it tragic tbh but for a pragmatist of any persuasion, pro-choice is the only option that makes sense. Like, I'd be surprised if @JudoThrowFiasco wasn't.
 
Texas is not a purple state, it's a red state. They have a republican governor, 2 republican senators, and was red by more than 5 points for president. If that's "purple", what the hell is red?

The voting laws aren't restricting anybody and you effing well should have to jump through hoops to execute your kid, and are we finally admitting critical race theory was being forced on kids? Last I checked, I think we were simultaneously trying to claim it was only being taught to law students, but if it was being taught to kids, it was good. I think "you don't even know what critical race theory is" is what the dumb people are supposed to say, then just pretend the conversation never happened.

You ever find it odd that America’s most red (worst states) all have the worst rates of infant mortality? Some as bad as 3rd world nations.

That’s what happens when you only care about “children” in name only and use them And their mothers as political pawns and nothing more.

the republicans want to regress this nation back to the 1800s. There will never be any true meaningful progress with them at the levers of power and government. Their ideas are all dead. There isn’t one issue facing our nation today they even want to discuss.

Hah, I’ve never met anyone else who articulated those reasons for being pro-murdering babies.

That’s exactly why I’m for it, if a woman ever entertains that, I think it’s the most humane thing to not bring that child into this world.

Consider it a mercy-killing. Unsurprisingly, I’m also for assisted-suicide.

I would hate to live there. Would be much better to live in a state where protesters can block streets and hospitals whenever they want. I want homeless encampments everywhere, kids indoctrinated into fake racist history and hookers all over the place.

How are we ever going to progress as a society if we don't start mandating that these things become normal?

I’m probably in the minority here.
I don’t want roads and hospitals blocked either, unless it’s by hookers.
