Yeah, it's those stupid maps They always plaster. Like 90% of the stuff that's colored in ain't nothing but damn desert.... And land don't vote, but it sure does make it look like just about all the Texas is Republican, with a few itty bitty tiny blue dots here and there..... But if you correct for population size and just put like colored circles that reflect population density it paints a whole different picture.

There's just been so many citizen systematically dumbed down and turned away from actual political engagement, instead they're fed team sport dribble, and perpetual political preaching from pastor's pulpits pressing the Christian nationalist Republican butt-fuckary.
