On May 24, 2022 in Uvalde Texas, an 18 year old walked into Robb Elementary School and shot and killed 19 children and 2 adults.
Two days ago in Houston Texas, a man paused his dinner date to shoot and kill a fake parking attendant.
Last night in Cleveland Texas, 5 members of a family (including an 8 year old child) were shot and killed by their neighbor after they asked him to stop firing his gun on his front lawn so their baby could sleep.
So when Republican lawmakers in a state where it’s easier to get AR-15s than books about Black history say their abortion ban is about being “pro-life”…
They’re full of shit.
When donald trump ran in 2016, he promised he would protect people with preexisting conditions.
He didn’t.
That he would lower middle class taxes.
He didn’t.
That he would pass an infrastructure bill.
He didn’t.
That he would repeal & replace Obamacare.
He didn’t.
That he would bring back coal & American manufacturing.
He didn’t.
That he’d cut the deficit.
He didn’t, he increased it.
That he would build his wall & make Mexico pay for it.
He didn’t & they didn’t.
He didn’t deliver on any of that.
And yet despite a record like that, despite losing reelection, plotting a coup, inciting an insurrection & stealing nuclear secrets, he’s the Republican party’s front runner for 2024.
So my question is - why?
