Uvalde overwhelmingly voted Republican just after the school shooting. I don’t see this changing anything.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Must be weird to love your guns more than your kids.
Thing is they're Republicans and those weren't their kids so they don't give a shit.
Cruz is hated by all, so there's a chance!
this grifter wins elections... so clearly not by everyone.
Money loves him and that's all that matters.
We hear this every year, sadly Texans will still keep voting for the same shitty politicians who don’t care about them.
Why is that Canadian Ted Cruz even taken seriously?
He will literally do or say anything to stay in office looking at you Raphael Edward Cruz!
Not sure why mentioning some small town with a shooting has to do with the remainder of story.
Clown headlines for clown journalists for fake news is the current MO, i guess.
A nearly four-minute video announcing his candidacy focused on the aftermath of the shooting and featured multiple family members of victims.
Reading is fundamental.
Class act... No doubt.
Jfc this is what degeneracy looks like.

Failing to read an article but commenting on it anyway?
Honest question: do you actually, truly believe the nonsense you write? It doesn't seem to have any basis in reality or context.
I wrote it so yes... Cope
Bro, maybe Lemmy is a bad fit for you. Try Truth Social.
Gestapo entered the chat
Yes, the Gestapo were known for their suggestions that people try a different web forum.
Solid criticism, 10/10.
Unsolicited online advice... Thank you for your service warrior
I'm not a warrior; I've never been in an armed service or militia. You still seem very confused about who is in which military outfit for some reason.
What's fake about the headline? Do that words you use have any meaning whatsoever, or do you just parrot your orange god without any thought?
Dems campaign against school violence and the GQP wears AR-15 pins right after school shootings, but sure, it's the Dems being insensitive "clowns..."
Click bait about so clowns campaign trying to ride a tragedy...
That's all I see, others have different opinions. I am just posting mine. People post theirs...
But in my opinion is low class act lol
It's only low class if you think school and mass shootings are not an issue in this country that needs to be addressed.
I am sure a clown using a tragedy for political platform will fix the issue for all of us.
The real tragedy is an entire political party refusing to do anything to solve the problem. And then saying shit like "How dare you talk about real events!"
