WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?
'CAUSE TEXAS DOES EVERYTHING BIGGER....I THINK THAT'S THEIR ARGUMENT? I DON'T EXACTLY KNOW. I'M NOT FROM TEXAS.
THAT, OR THEY'RE BLIND AF.
OR MAYBE SOME OF US ARE TOO BUSY CRANKIN’ OUR HOGS AND ARE A BIT HARD OF HEARING, BROTHER! AROOOOO!!!
The TXGOP had Initiatives and Referendums on their plank up until they took control of the Lege and Governership. Then they quietly dropped it. If the day comes in the far, far future where the Democrats once again rule Texas, you can bet it will make a return. It will be a cold day in hell when the state government gives up that much control, no matter which party is in power. Which the article does say, to be fair.
Basically, unless you have enough money, Texas is where you come to be ruled over, not to rule.
