The texas Senate race is already exemplifying everything wrong with this country [View all]

Will all the problems facing us, the Paxton/Talarico matchup is not even a day old, and the right wing is already making the race to do with absurd social issues like "vegan" and "six genders". No talk of issues facing Americans like paying for food, and citizens being beaten and murdered by masked ICE thugs.

The problem isn't the right wing saying this things... the problem is how many voters it works with... the same people keep electing rethugs to make sure no one who believes in "six genders" is in office, then they look around at the shattered remains of their lives and bank accounts and scratch their heads because they can't figure out what wrong, but it must have been "those damn Democrats that aren't even in power!!!"

(BTW... if you are wondering where "six genders" comes from? Apparently Talarico used the term "cisgender" at some point which drumpf or one of his minions heard as "six gender" and now that is a label that they are applying to Talarico.......)
