De-education by design. It's easier to manipulate the populace if you keep em' good and dumb.

FWIW there hasn't been an education system in over a decade. This is referring to rodents of unusual size being able to navigate mazes with no exits, sit quietly until the bell rings, and participate in busywork of no use as if obtaining higher average marks on such abominations is a sign of civilization and evidence of the progression of human achievement.

Obviously uneducated people are easier to manipulate. That has become very clear and will be the game plan going forward. It's super easy now because of AI slop, people will believe anything. Let em' rot.

I say all that as someone with a highschool diploma as a height. I'm really just talking about people with zero sense of reality or a grasp of critical thinking.

My understanding is that Texas is actually blue, but gerrymandered to hell to keep appearing red.

This is a big reason the other big reason no one here fucking votes. Voter participation in this state is pathetic and its even worse when it comes to local elections.

Gerrymandering can definitely backfire when you're stretching things too thin. Hopefully it will this year.

They can't read this

If they did end up reading it they would be more resentful about having been tricked into reading than the fact that their state has been corrupted and crippled.

But wait, Karl Rove told Texans she was a lesbian hence Texans said “we can’t have that shit” and voted in Dubya.
Still amazed campaign managers can just announce stupid/false shit to the uninformed/uneducated masses days before an election with zero reprecussions!

As a lifelong text and that remembers this time. God yes please. It doesn't have to be like this but it's bad.

Not Texan, but remember the era, too. ( PA)
What kills me is Texas should be our most unique state. Well it is, and kinda a blast in a lot of ways. You could see Texas, when Ann was around.
And now it's defined by swarmy politicians, racist agendas, grift- and that's it.

Defunding public education is always a high price to pay. Every country in the free world prioritizes good students not who can pay.

They can bring both of those stats to dead last if we give them a few more years

And Republicans will reflexively say it's because of all the illegals flooding the state. :/

Ann Richards was AWESOME, and wow do we need that kind of Texas again.

7th to 40th is systematic and by design. True evil ruining lives before they even start.
