Yes. This is VERY Texas. The state government is 100% conservative republican.
"Texas is a majority Republican state with Republicans controlling every statewide office.[1] Texas Republicans have majorities in the State House and Senate, an entirely Republican Texas Supreme Court, control of both Senate seats in the US Congress."

- SketchySeaBeast 1y agoSo I guess I struggle with the idea that it's a thin slice of dogmatic legislators, when it seems that the majority of the state's legislators are still against THC.
- beedeebeedee 1y agoBoth can be true. Dogmatic legislators get voted into office along party lines, but they are not representative of the actual beliefs of most Texans (they appeal to what a lot of Texans think they should believe, but don't actually when it comes to lived reality). On this issue, the governor is aware that a lot of Texans would be in an uproar if they can no longer buy THC legally. This includes veterans and business owners who are considered special classes by the governor. I deeply dislike Abbott, but on this occasion, I think he did the right thing.

- sjsdaiuasgdia 1y agoIn Chrome, the right click context menu has a "Copy link to highlight" option. It'll add the appropriate stuff to the URL to highlight what you've selected and put it in your clipboard.
