What really gets to me is the way the Rs push religion and make themselves the arbiter of morality, yet they lie, cheat, commit adultery, and run roughshod over people's inherent God given rights. It's not even gaslighting or projection...it's like some bizarre alternate reality. They have no shame. If we don't realize soon that we're in a 5 alarm fire and it's going to take every single person who cares about democracy to get involved to put out the fire.

Don't I have good news coming soon. We can get ourselves out of this. It's going to take a lot of hard work and we have some dark days ahead, but remember the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.

One more comment! This article is so impressive. Thank you for all the work. It is a graphic example of the damage legislators continue to do to Texans.
