@johnb48@mastodon.online @QasimRashid@mastodon.social There is a popular misconception that Texas is a solid wall of red, when in fact, it's much closer to purple. If it weren't, Republicans wouldn't be going so far out of their way to try to cement their power. Millions of people live here who didn't vote for Abbott or Trump. Plenty of vulnerable people live in Texas, including a hell of a lot of LGBTQIA folks, POC, others whose lives are literally on the line here. Writing off the whole state writes them off too.
