Boomer mother started going off about voting Trump because “illegals”.
“Nah, we handled that shit in Florida. Passed legislation scaring 'em right the fuck out of here. Of course our crops are rotting in the fields, we got no medical helpers, maids or janitors. But they left! Sure, there were 100 business owners interviewed saying they supported the bill, but didn’t think the consequences would work out like that. They need to hire real Americans. If they can find 'em for $5 an hour…”
We also got the “gay agenda” under control around here. Woke companies taking their convention business, and business in general, away, but at least we made a stand!
This is the reality GOP voters don't want to confront. The migrants are the fucking backbone of America - moreso than anyone born in this country. If it doesn't have an underclass to exploit, this country cannot be as successful as it has been. They provide the underpaid workforce that has allowed for wage stagnation to persist for decades.
It’s almost like no one wants to live in a red state shithole, geez. What’s wrong with you people, they’re doing their best to make sure your kids are raised without critical thinking, science or history (whatever content suits the old shits in the state legislature is fine, though). Hell they even kicked a million kids off of Medicare this week. Why isn’t everyone flocking to this paradise, can’t you imagine how great it is?
The company I work remotely for is headquartered in TX. It was actually in another state when I joined, and they consolidated to TX a few years ago.
They have a policy of helping relocate employees, no questions asked. One of my trans coworkers recently moved from Austin to California. I won’t be surprised to hear of more moves out of TX over time.
The DNC has ceded Texas to the GOP. Especially after Beto lost his bid for Governor on the heels of the Uvalde mass shooting and Abbott's bungling of the aftermath. This state is owned by Republicans lock, stock, and barrel.
