    Because conservatives are full of cognative dissonance? Right now Trump supporters don't trust the vaccines disproportionately than any other voting demographic because they disproportionately don't trust anything from the government.

    I can use a laugh... what was your explanation for why Texas was 44th in vaccinations, well behind NY and CA?

    Looking at that same data yall posted in here, TX is second in total doses administered, behind only CA, which is much more populous than TX. I know you hate it, but TX is rolling out vaccines like a boss. Just accept it and be happy.

    That sounds just like something Trump would say. He never understood per capita is the stat that matters most. Just threw out numbers to try and make things seem better than they were. Yes, thankfully Biden is rolling out more vaccines than anticipated, but give credit where it's due. Our Texas Republicans are some of the worst representatives in the country.

    Your goal when you debate is machismo instead of actually defending your positions.

    People who aggressively try to show their machismo on internet forums are compensating for something.

    Good old boy Ted retweeted this one.
    Where was the concern when your party took a no mask, no lockdown stance? Where was your concern when Abbott and the rest of you decided it was a good idea to end all restrictions and mask mandates? You can't blame this on anyone but your party. The spreading is all over our beaches, bars, and spring break crowds, but you don't mention that as concerning. Nope.

    OMG, he was heckled! Nothing new there. Hey Ted, any suggestions on stopping the crossings all along the river? Those billions spent on the wall obviously didn't work.

    All he does is criticize the left, and do nothing to solve problems. The pre-riot propaganda palooza was typical traitor Ted. His latest quick escape act from freezing Texas to a sunny Mexico beach was Ted in a nutshell. Ted the Cuba/Canadian, American by luck of a mommy with an American birth, who emigrated to Canada and married his Cuban daddy, is more danger to Texas than the immigrants who would work their asses off for a chance of a better life.

    Ted, the no mask stance for no good reason other than selfishness and Trump brownie points was one of many who has blood on his hands from half a million dead Americans. He can't blame that on the border crossers. Ted, the pro gun pro radical right big mouth doesn't give a damn if we have more violence, as long as he has the NRA money flowing his way. Ted doesn't speak out against hate crimes or the 55 or so hate groups brewing in Texas like a pot of fresh tea, because he needs their votes. The thought of them carrying guns strapped all over them is his idea of the American Dream. It doesn't matter who the intimidate with fear or violence along the way.

    I'm trying to think of one good thing Ted does to help Texans, and nothing comes to mind. He knows the only way to stop their votes against his party is by gerrymandering, voter suppression, and spreading lies about voter fraud and everything else. Texans screwed themselves royally by voting this sleeze into office. We can do so much better. Wake up, smell the coffee, and vote this guy out next chance you get.

    Sounds like what you do regarding all things GOP.

    Believe me, I would be doing a hell of a lot more for the people of Texas if I had Ted Cruz and the rest of our GOP representatives in Texas' jobs. I sure as hell wouldn't have led a no mask no lockdown stance, nor flown to Cancun to escape reality. They don't do anything useful, and they have the power to make changes in our state to address what's needed most. That isn't parading around spewing voter fraud propaganda and inciting radicals to storm the Capitol and wasting taxpayer dollars on nonsense to try and steal an election.

    Thank God you're not in charge of anything important, or we'd all be effed.

    What do Ted Cruz, Ken Paxton, Greg Abbott and the rest do that you find so valuable and worthy?
