When they openly declare themselves to be so. This is not rebellion, just more performative governance by the right.

Except Texas Republicans would rather elect ineffectual politicians than ever vote outside of their party.
Republican voters showed up and Democratic voters didn’t.
This is the way.
Seriously, this is how it always is in Texas. The Democrats here don’t bother to get off their lazy asses.
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.
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.
Racists doing racists things in a severely racist state ruled over by racists that were elected by racists.
Tried that, got betrayed by blue politicians. The Democratic party in Texas as well as nationally have ceded Texas to the GOP. I’m still voting blue but I have zero expectation of anything of worth out of that party at the state level.
I mean, here’s mine
Yet. Or the fact it is so difficult to enforce could be used to prop a reason for an even more draconian law. Something like banning it outright or having it have to be reviewed by an approval board. These laws are almost always stepping stones.
Going from the Third Coast to the Third Reich.
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.
Thank fuck that one failed. I think the backlash against all the aging politicians put the nails in the coffin of that one. I think something both sides can agree on is fuck these dinosaurs who can barely function sometimes.
Yeah. Pretty sure you can get a bigger one from the big box hardware stores. For way cheaper. You’d still have to finish the insides, though. Not everyone can follow code for frami ng let alone plumbing and electrical. We won’t even get into hanging and mudding drywall.
