Today in seriously? These people...

Texas, amight? Texas lawmakers have passed and shameless hypocritical shitmerchant Governor Greg Abbott plans to sign a bill that will let any rando carry a gun. No license, no training, no background check. 

"Finally, this new legislation will allow all Texans to easily get their hands
on a gun to defend themselves from the other Texas, who can easily get
their hands on guns. And might I add: Yeeeeee-haaaaaw!"

-Texas Governor Greg Abbott, nailing it

"Guuuuuuuns!"

-Republicans

Because freedom something something. The law, which in typical Republican shitspeak they call "Constitutional Carry," does away with the "unnecessary impediments" according to proponents. Opponents, including law enforcement and a majority of Texans, decry it as a reckless move that will only endanger more lives. Like, what kind of sociopaths look at the epidemic of gun-related violence in America and says, I know, more guns! Mooooore guuuuns! Well now we know: Republicans. 

Yeah, Republicans simply don't give a shit anymore. All because their dumb, sexual-assault enthusiast gameshow host lost an election. Two if we count popular votes (and I do). But surely voters can simply vote them out next election and-oh, wait, no. No, they can't. 

"Look, if the founding fathers didn't intend for one party to seize total
control through coordinated redistricting and voter suppression, then they 
shouldn't have made Senate Minority leader the highest office in the land."

-Some guy 1.2 million Kentuckians voter for, obstructing 

the agenda of a President 81 million Americans voted for

Three! And he's never won a 
popular vote in his life. 

These very same Republicans are also passed a plan to cut polling places from Democratic controlled districts in the state and move them to Republican controlled districts so that their backwards, racist party of dumbs can stay in charge. It's a move happening in states all across the country and if the many legal challenges don't stop it, we're pretty screwed. And since Republicans have appointed a shitload of judges (including three Supreme Court Justices), it's not looking great.

They're using this ill-gotten leverage over the will of the electorate to pass anti-choice legislation (most Americans are Pro-Choice), roll back what little gun-restrictions we already have (most Americans support stricter gun laws) and to pass even more voter suppression measures to make it even harder to get rid of them. They're the electoral equivalent of a staph infection. The only thing I take solace in is that the story of America is the story of people fighting against the oppression of conservatives. 

The Revolution, the Civil War, the labor movement, Civil Rights, Women's liberation, abortion rights, marriage equality, trans rights, every time it's progressives versus conservatives who want to control other people's lives. It sucks and it's a struggle, and the fight can drag on and look hopeless, but we eventually win, right? Usually?

It's also the story of Star Wars, World War II and Footloose.
