Texas Leaders’ Approval Ratings Sink Faster Than a Cowboy in Quicksand

In a shocking turn of events that absolutely no one saw coming (except me, because I’ve been screaming about it for years), Texans are finally waking up to the fact that their so-called "leaders" are more interested in political theater than actually fixing anything. The latest poll from the Texas Politics Project—which, let’s be honest, is probably run by a bunch of Austin-based tofu-munchers—reveals that Texans are fed up with the circus in Austin. But here’s the real kicker: they’re only now realizing what I’ve been saying all along.

Governor Greg Abbott’s approval rating has plummeted to a dismal 40%, which, coincidentally, is roughly the same percentage of his spine that’s still intact after years of bending to the will of the deep state. And Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick? Don’t even get me started. The man’s approval is lower than the chances of a snowball surviving in a Texas summer. But hey, at least they’re consistent—consistently disappointing.

Meanwhile, the state’s priorities are so out of whack, you’d think they were set by a committee of clowns. While real Texans are drowning in floodwaters, sky-high grocery bills, and the existential dread of another Trump presidency, our fearless leaders are busy redrawing maps and debating where people should pee. That’s right, folks. While your house was floating down the street, the legislature was arguing about bathrooms. Priorities!

And let’s talk about THC—no, not the good kind that makes you forget how badly the government is screwing you, but the kind that sends politicians into a moral panic. Patrick wanted to ban it outright, Abbott wanted to regulate it, and the people? They just wanted someone to do something about the fact that they can’t afford rent. But sure, let’s focus on hemp. That’ll solve everything.

The real question is: how long before Texans realize the whole system is rigged? The poll says 53% of you are unhappy with the state’s direction. The other 47% are either lying, brainwashed, or living in a bunker with a lifetime supply of Whataburger. Wake up, sheeple! The elites in Austin don’t care about you. They care about power, money, and making sure you’re too distracted by nonsense to notice.

So buckle up, Texas. The 2026 midterms are coming, and if history is any indication, we’re in for another round of "lesser of two evils" voting while the state burns—literally and metaphorically. But hey, at least we’ll have nicely redrawn congressional maps to admire from our flooded living rooms. Priorities, people. Priorities.
