🤠 Right-Wing Rodeo: A Conservative's Wake-Up Call! 🧨

Well, howdy there! As a lifelong Republican and gun-totin' patriot, I gotta give a big ol' shoutout to Ken Paxton and Greg Abbott for makin' me rethink my vote this November. I ain't voted for this many Democrats since my first rodeo in 1974! 🗳️

Paxton, bless his heart, is a hot mess. Suin' Dallas to let guns into the State Fair for "safety" is about as smart as givin' a rattlesnake a massage. It's like Archie Bunker wantin' to stop skyjackin' by handin' out six-shooters at the airport! And after hearin' all the dirt on him during his impeachment trial, I wouldn't vote for any House member who didn't try to kick him out or any senator who thought he was innocent. 🐍

Now, Abbott's voucher program? That ain't school choice, folks—it's a taxpayer-funded piggy bank for private school tuition. Real school choice is lettin' parents pick any public school in the district or state. Most fancy private schools are already packed, with waitlists longer than a Texas mile. If Abbott's vouchers pass, the same kids will be sittin' in those classrooms, but tuition will shoot up faster than a scalded cat. Any legislator backin' vouchers can kiss my vote goodbye. 🏫💰

Extremists have taken over the Republican Party like ticks on a hound dog. They call Reagan and Eisenhower Republicans "RINOs," but if you ask me, the MAGA crowd are the real RINOs. 🦠
