Sorry, Will. I've lived in Texas for 40+ years. Ummm, to which "two oceans" are you referring? Gulf of Mexico, sure. Two oceans, not so much.

"This [Republican majority], in of [sic] itself, is in no way a bad thing." Uhhh, yeah it is.

It's been bad for education, as any teacher will tell you, healthcare, as any healthcare worker will tell you, infrastructure, as anyone who lives here will tell you, and really bad for personal freedoms, as any LGBTQIA persons will tell you.

And the biggest problem with the power grid isn't instability or climate-related equipment failure, it's that these corrupt idiots refuse to connect our grid (ERCOT) to any of the other neighboring power grids so that power can be transferred from low demand to high demand areas as needed.

So yes, the world does need to swing more to the left, which, while far from perfect, has consistently proven to value people more than profits.

"you can be a Republican and fight climate change" Not in Texas and not if being elected is important to you. You can't imagine how bitterly polarized things are here. I've had people call me a demon simply because I voted Democrat (well, against Trump anyway),

This isn't populism; it's authoritarian fascism.

Pull your head out, and grow a spine, dude.
