I can't believe it didn't happen after Uvalde but then again in the next election like 80% of votes went to republicans and the sheriff got re-elected.
Republicans literally just think this is the cost of doing business and are fine with that arrangement they just know it's not abgreat soundbite to explicitly say "I care more about being allowed to bring any gun anywhere then I do about children dying." But they've been implicitly saying that for decades.
Jesus. The power of the magic R is insane.
Yea I'm not sure how you continue living in a place that 80% of your neighbors were very clear theybdidnt give a shit about your murdered kid like 6 weeks later.
Well I know the answer is actually that it's a poor border town so they can't afford to leave and they're in southern Texas so they'd have to move damn near a thousand miles to get anywhere halfway decent but other than that.
