Republican voters should be PISSED and DEMANDING VIABLE, more moderate candidates on ballots to get us out of this #GOPShitShow they’ve created. #GOPisFailingUS
@lawindsor@TheViralGold What more do we need to know about Ted Cruz than he took more money from gun nut groups since he was elected to Congress, than any other politician?
Dear Republicans,
After 19 armed cops failed to perform the most basic function of their job, your response is to demand that we arm teachers so they perform a job they never wanted or were ever trained to do.
Do I have that right?
Our politicians SHOULD BE FORCED TO LOOK AT EVERY VICTIM THEY’VE ALLOWED. AR-15s and AK-47s were created for mass destruction. They should NEVER be allowed for public purchase. And if you’re relying on that tired excuse “in case our govt turns against the people,” govt wins 4sure
@cookie27703@donwinslow This kids mother insisted on an open coffin so the world could see. I know as a parent I couldn't be brave enough to do it. The poor kids at this shooting were unrecognizable. I wish Abbott, Cruz and the rest of the payed off NRA politicians were forced to look at the children.
@donwinslow No. We don’t have that right. Training for teachers in Texas to carry firearms in their classrooms wasn’t successful. Teachers don’t want to be armed security. They want to do what they were trained to—teach kids. Texas R’s don’t want to let them do that.

This Republican rationale is idiocy beyond measure. REPUBLICANS should be ANGRY and DEMAND this madness ends, supporting our teachers and students. Teachers are not combatants. Fix ROOT CAUSE - give up the $$ given by the NRA and do WHAT’S RIGHT. AR- AK47s are not for public use.
SERIOUSLY!! As a previous voting Republican, I am PISSED, we should DEMAND #GOPLeadership offer NEW SERIOUS candidates other than the #GOPShitShow they’ve created, taking our state (TX) and nation into the toilet.
Point very well made- AR- and AK-47 weapons were made for mass destruction. They should not be available for public use. PERIOD. If you’re about to use that tired excuse of “we need them in case our govt goes nuts” - were already there & there’s no hope of us rising up 1776 style
@donwinslow High school teacher here. If they mandate guns in the classroom, that would be my last day in the classroom. Think there's a teacher shortage now? See what happens then.
@MattakaHanz @TristanSnell This is too little, too late. My current understanding: when he had previous funds to avoid this catastrophic (& deadly) mess several years ago, they were appropriated in other (controversial) ways - “friendlies” benefitted greatly. The rabbit hole is DEEP. #VoteAbbottOut
@Legorat@TristanSnell Why/HOW do we allow this? The GOP - which, at best, represents 40% of the country is controlling ALL of us. It has to end @POTUS . Start passing some laws or you will lose this country to fascism!
@guano_col@Legorat@TristanSnell@POTUS Gerrymandering by dirty politicians causes this. TX gubernatorial veto power makes it a ridiculous exercise also. Look at voting results from 2002-now - VERY telling. There’s NO WAY there are LESS democrats in our state today. Compare 2002/4 election results w 2022 district maps.
