Texas Republicans have decided on a platform that includes abolishing minimum wage, cancelling climate research, banning the teaching of evolution at schools, and repealing the voting rights act, among other things, but hilariously (or depressingly) the one thing on this laundry list that people are angry about is their plan to "rehabilitate" homosexuals, a practice that many say is harmful.

Better hope the life-inspector doesn't come around while you have your

I despise Texas as a whole (with the possible exception of the People's Republic of Austin). It is a sink of all that is bad and evil in conservative American politics. And while there are few active in Texas politics who would admit it, if one were able to look into their hearts, I think you'd find a large minority who genuinely want to "get that nigger out of the White House" and use that awful word in their thoughts.
I know that not all conservative Republicans are racists, but I suspect it's a large majority although they're not quite so blatant about it as their grandparents were.
It's really quite a simple choice: Life, Death, or Los Angeles.
