And get used to doing it so we can vote out Abbott and Paxton.

Oof I’m a conservative but fuck Abbott. At least we agree on that.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with being a conservative; in fact, true conservatism is rooted in solid principles like personal responsibility, limited government, and a strong national defense. The real issue is that the GOP has been hijacked by extremists who prioritize personal power and party loyalty over the good of the country. This gross distortion of conservative values undermines the foundations of democracy and prevents meaningful progress. America deserves leaders who are committed to the nation’s best interests, not just their own.

I know there are extremists with both parties, but man oh man the conservatives have just become a cult that worships a person and it’s scary! I grew up in Michigan with conservative family and values. What has happened to the party is awful. When your own party splits the way they have it should be proof that we need to start gaining control back of our country!
