That is certainly one very white group of people surrounding Abbot in that photo for a state where Latinx/Hispanic people make up 40% of the population.

It’s also mostly men.

Wikipedia says he has three kids. I guess that officially makes him a serial rapist.
I wonder how many of them he’s raped.

As of the 2020 census Texas is <40% non-hispanic, white people (and <20% non-hispanic, white males). You really can’t tell from the state government, though

This is not an ad, it’s online propaganda from a singular company (two brothers) who are simply out to make $$$. There’s no difference between this and all of the right-wing online garbage in that it’s just another hit piece.
Man i have a lot to say about this but it’d turn into a TED talk about perpetuating poverty and controlling POC and women.

This is a roadmap for rapist. Delegitimize every aspect of act until it becomes a reasonable, foreseeable, and inevitable.

Don’t let the loathsome politics of the Republicans distract from the real.
Seems like a good place to drop this:

He’s been dead for a few years… so that’s not much of an issue anymore.
That one comment immediately doomed his gubernatorial run back in 1990 – ultimately loosing Ann Richards by over 20 points. Of course, that was back in the days when people actually evaluated the candidate beyond the party affiliation.

Ah…I feel silly but grateful. Still, I don’t want him showing his face in public. His corpse should be ashamed of itself. His tombstone should be the Jungian archetypal manifestation of personal shame. But I’ll settle for him being an ex-person I suppose.

I speak for a lot of Texans when I say:
FUCK THAT GUY.
