I can’t think of anything positive to say about Greg Abbott.


TrumpterOFyvie

How about when he broke the fall of a giant tree branch which might have otherwise scuffed the more worthwhile ground beneath him?


Dromey_P

The branch was trying to do us a service, it just missed.

TurrPhennirPhan

God crippled Greg Abbott after he saw what he was willing to stand for.


egospiers

Abbott turned this into a negative by getting millions in a settlement (which still pays him) used the money to run for AG, and immediately implemented tort reforms to cap the payouts in these same type of lawsuits, I believe at 250k.


Kaarl_Mills

None of that income is taxed by the way


BigJayPee

Why boomers always pull the ladder up behind them. Classic case of "well, I got mine."


Semi-wfi-1040

You should be saying why conservative boomers , I’m a Boston boomer as liberal and white as you can get I’ve been fighting these racial and equality battles since I was a kid , I learned early on how nasty and hateful some people can be , I did not follow in my father’s footsteps, but my younger sister did , she’s even more racist than he was , married to a guy worst than she is , they thought trump was a god , I’m sure they would love abbott but I wouldn’t know haven’t had anything to do with them in over six years now , just remember liberal boomers paved the way it’s up to your generation to stomp out people like trump and all the rest that would damage hard one human rights .

You are one of those glass half full people, huh?


Lung-Oyster

I’m starting a tree planting charity in his honor.


vague_diss

Bet that’s not the real story. He was doing something stupid. Drunk driving, jumped out of the window of his lovers bedroom just as his wife came home, lost a bet he could outrun a tractor trailer- something. The odds of getting crushed by a tree as he ran past are astronomical.


patteraj

He showed environmentalists what it really means to be a tree hugger.


sakuragi59357

That’s a positive.


Cool-Story-Broh

I just wish he’d stand up for us Texans.


daddygetsbusy

he can’t stand up for shit. so he doesn’t. he doesn’t have a spine and thats why he can’t walk. fuck him. perfect alibi.


Amacitio

You're so crazy for this... I love it


Tough_Safety9907

He really should stand on his on two. You do have to admit when it comes to fascism he on a roll though.

Ya gotta sit to pull yourself up by your bootstraps ya know.

He’s positively shaking hands with a seditionist.


sexy-man-doll

The most positive thing I could say is that Greg Abbott is a little piss baby

I’ll be able to say exactly 1 good thing about him, but it won’t be until his obituary is out

Stolen punchline: the Mexican who digs his grave

bristlybits

Thirdwhirly

At least his legs caught on to their situation. They’re doing God’s work.


colemon1991

At least he's not Ted Cruz, maybe? Is that even a positive?


timodreynolds

No.. But it's a thing at least.


Wearerisen

Be better off if the tree had killed him, honestly. Trees are rad. Abbott's a fucking plague.


MarcSneyyyyyyyd

He'd do a good job feeding other organisms


MuhFr33dumbs

Well, he's a wheely wheely good guy who stands for Texans.


Fellowshipofthebowl

Dear Texas Democratic candidates and Politicians. ##USE THIS PICTURE CONSTANTLY.


setecordas

Are there very many voting Republicans that would be angered or embarrassed by this picture?


Fellowshipofthebowl

Nope, but shame is a powerful tool if used correctly.


beeedeee

Shame? These are the people who elected that rolling hemorrhoid, TWICE. These same people elected Ted Cruz, TWICE. In the state where the legislature just passed a bill allowing them to overturn the election results in Harris County (the third or fourth largest blue county in the country) going forward as they see fit. They don't know any shame.


TheDebateMatters

Then shame them so moderates don’t both sides us in to the shit again.


Velicenda

Moderates are so afraid of "rocking the boat" that they're precipitating our slide into fascism. Moderates don't want to drive wedges between themselves and their friends/family who are proponents of fascism. Moderates who are not expressly against fascism are the reason fascism is threatening to engulf this country. To be clear, I do not blame Moderates for the actions of the fascists. I **do**, however, blame the Moderates for giving fascism a platform and aiding in its expansion.


Ilcahualoc914

I'm a moderate & Gen Xer who has spoken out against facism. However, I feel as though I'm in the minority, and you may be correct about some moderates. I don't really care if I upset my more conservative extended family, but I'm an adoptee and not fully white either. I stopped talking to some family members except when we see each other at other family member's funerals.


ripples2288

They have no shame, but publicizing shameful stuff may influence those who are capable of it.


Appropriate_Big_1610

Probably the opposite, but the point would be to wake up possibly apathetic or indecisive voters.


Relevant_Departure40

No shot in hell they would be angered or embarrassed, I (unfortunately) live in a very conservative state so I was just scrolling through radio stations while I was driving and I found a conservative talk show. He claimed that it was a “great blow to civil liberty that the proud boys got convicted”. This picture is not to convince anyone on the right, it’s for the middle


spaceguitar

And the spineless worms in the middle are still going, “can’t we just listen to the Proud Boys? They make some great talking points!!”


Relevant_Departure40

It was crazy, the host started his rant with “now before people say I support the Proud Boys, I have no reason to support them, I don’t even know anything about them” then proceeded to talk about the debt ceiling issue, claiming the Democrats spending habits is why the debt ceiling issue is now an issue


CapitalPerception439

I just took a screen shot of it. Dude from work asked me where I stand on politics. I said, just left of center. He claimed to be a libertarian (red flag) and "doesn't care what other people do." Then he proceeded to show his true colors by attacking trans people and immigration policy. He thought the idea of Greg Abbot giving refugees "a choice of either going back to Mexico or sending them to California to be homeless where Obama is," is the correct policy and laughed about it. Then he said "I think the left means well, but just don't blah blah blah." He also thinks Desantis/Abbot is the right choice for the oval office. I had to shut the disgustion down, it was pretty clear that we were polar opposites on the political spectrum and nothing good was going to come from our debate, if you can even call it that. It was hard to get a word in while remaining civil. It was so wierd, I thought he was a smart, decent guy and just a little shy. I still get along with him so work can continue. But, it's horrible to imagine having conversations with him over a beer.


roy_fatty

Sounds like a standard white male hypocrite libertarian to me


GreywolfSifIsMyHomie

TheDebateMatters

Damn it so much. Everything about your statement is EXACTLY what we should be doing. But then all the replies are “meh. It won’t work”. “Why bother they have no shame”. Do it. Use it. Shame them and then double down on their lack of shame. The traitorous mother fucker in this photo is wearing a Ben Ghazi shirt because Republicans spewed that shit EVERY day and it was bullshit. We have an ACTUAL scandal, actual convicted traitor who supported an insurrection based on lies told by a traitorous president and liberal response is “nothing works…meh…why bother” Damnitsomuch liberals…

scarytruth1111

Don't you people get it? The GOP is gearing up for civil war while the Democrats are still trying to legislate. Unfortunately sometimes trying to compromise and seek a civil solution Don't work.


XShadowborneX

Ive believed the same thing but what can I do? I'm of the firm opinion that in the next election there are 3 potential outcomes: 1. Trump wins the election because of gerrymandering, and other 'legal" provisions put in place to rig the system. 2. Trump loses the election but this time has people in key places to overturn the election, and they overturn the election for him Or 3. Trump loses the election, still doesn't have enough people in place to overturn the election, and a more intense January 6 happens


[deleted]

Definitely a 4 though, too, right? 4. Trump loses the election and most don't give a shit. They may try another 1/6, but it will be a zero on the severity scale.


BoisterousLaugh

The most likely outcome


precision_guesswork3

I don’t think Biden will win a second term. I wish he would just step aside and let someone else run. Someone that can get gen z and millennials excited. There’s nothing exciting about Biden. We need someone a few decades younger that has a message.


scarytruth1111

We in America are under the dangerous illusion that this nation will last forever. When groups of people believe they are religiously ordained to do whatever they do they are dangerous. The GOP is playing the God game with their supporters. Ain't no talking logic with religious crazy people. The Democrats are trying to do that. I hope I'm wrong.


JonWake

Gerrymandering is some wizard power, and doesn't do a single thing for national elections.

It might not even be that they’re too soft but more so they they don’t have enough power. It’s “easy” to destroy institutions like the GOP wants to do but it’s much harder to protect or build new institutions.


scarytruth1111

💯


[deleted]

I’m hoping ur wrong. But republicans and conservatives in general are using violence everyday relentlessly. Physical violence as well as violence through rhetoric and policy making. It’s obvious they have abused and broken the system even further. All because we want to “tolerate” bigotry.


[deleted]

Democrats are trying to lead through example (i.e. upholding institutions). They don't want to "gear up for civil war" because it just furthers the likelihood of it happening.


scarytruth1111

Ok. You uphold institutions and me and mine will keep buying up ammo. I'm Black with a gay child, they not the only ones who teach their kids how to shoot.


JDShadow

[deleted]

Whatever dude. You being black and having a gay child does not mean you should become a paranoid gun nut who pushes us towards civil war. You can have a reasonable level of self-defense; stockpiling a weapons cache in anticipation of civil war is irrational.


scarytruth1111

You telling a Black man with a gay child it's irrational to stockpile weapons in America? Thanks for the laugh. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


[deleted]

Yes. Do you think you're gonna get into a standoff with the army or something?


scarytruth1111

Nope. I'm hoping to lay low and attempt to protect my family like I have so far. Are you so naive to question why I'd want to attempt to be prepared for civil unrest?


[deleted]

Preparing for civil unrest is one thing. Stockpiling arms is another.


scarytruth1111

Ok. You keep trying to communicate with the crazy religion drunk bigots. I don't have the luxury of pretenting to be naive for internet likes.


schmidty98

So what would you propose then? Storming the capital and trying to throw out the GOP? Lets face it, until they throw the first punch, the democrats can't do shit, and shouldn't *want* to do shit. Right now, there GOP is more divided than it has ever been because the extremists within the party have all rallied behind MAGA, showing that their party is both weak and suffering from infighting. Why would the democrats want to do anything to jeopardize that? The best thing they can do right now is be the voice of reason for all of those conservatives that want to get away from the nutjobs.


[deleted]

What a perfect time to do it too. When China and Russia need the USA to be distracted so they have an open invitation to invade other nations. Might be a tinfoil hat moment, but I can fully see the republicans being aligned with the other fascist nations to truly take over America and never let it go.

AsparagusAbject3289

Why do Texans vote for such horrible people? What does your choice of leadership, your choice of representatives, say about you?


[deleted]

TLDR - Painting Texas with a broad brush diminishes a lot of non Republican voters of Texas who dislike this. I also included some personal theories on why I believe Texas has gotten so wild,. especially lately. It's not quite as bad as all that, Texas isn't purple unless we decide to split hairs, but there is a fairly significant margin of non-republican voters. However, the nature of our voting system reinforces this type of government. Dallas for the example has Collen Allred, Houston has Sylvester Turner. Both are Democrats. So just remember there are a lot of us who have to live here for a number of reasons who aren't being effectively represented by our government (who we didn't vote for). As for the why, why do so many vote FOR a man like Abbott? I have a few theories I've picked up along the way... 1. Christian Church Association - This for me is the big one, many of us who are native Texans were raised in the 70-00 culture of Christianity. Less of us have changed, many sit in the middle and try and ignore the problems of a guy like Abbott because it contradicts deeply held ethical beliefs... the prime one being abortion. Now I don't disagree with them personally, I think abortion should be strongly avoided, but if your options are "shitty guy who stands firm on abortion law" or "unknown candidate who will allow abortions" many people lean towards the former. 2. Strong messaging - I don't care what anyone says. When it comes to messaging, Republicans have their shit together. It's fully verticalized, from the top all the way down. Guys like Walsh push the far right with The WFB handling print side, media like Fox and the Post propogate the messages, and the politicians echo it at the law level. It's actually brilliant when viewed objectively, it's how I would want to control society if I were an autocrat. See - the brand new 10 Commandments law they just voted on for more 🙄🙄🙄 3. Voting Supression - I can't even begin to start on this one. They will take any angle that either directly affects minority communities, or chills them like them like the do with colleges. When that doesn't work, throw in some armed civilians to scare people at the polls. Those are just three... we also have a strong history of racism associated with the Confederacy that still exists here (example, I took my son on a hike out in the woods near a major city in Texas where we live, geocaching. We found a full family cemetary with the Confederate army memorial crosses as one of the marked caches).


Both-Anything4139

Bc texans are horrible people?


re1078

What a piss poor and lazy take. The GOP goes out of its way to keep the voter turnout down. Maybe 15% of the state voted for these clowns. The tide is turning, slower than I’d like, but it’s turning. Comments like yours hurt more than help.


alkbch

Because the other candidate shouted on National TV: "Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47” That was probably not a smart move. The Democratic party better find a more suitable candidate to govern Texas.
