Awfully suspicious right before the midterms lol. Seems like Republican chicanery. Got two today. Guess when you have nothing else to run on you have to lean into culture war bullshit.

Yep. I wanted to click the link so hard but didn't because I don't want more political texts. But this is totally the Republicans playbook. 2 months after school started.

It's like all the ads about how expensive everything is. Like who TF is in power? Who TF has been in power in Texas for 30 years?? Anyone who believes any of this shit is basically just an NPC

Trans Texas dot org belongs to TENT, a left-aligned pro-trans organization. This is not a Republican playbook at all.

Y’all don’t even know the organizations who represent the causes you claim to support.

The mental gymnastics here to keep your narrative alive is really impressive. It is a legitimate link and organization.

"I work in security" lol

Kewl, now where did the link come from? Who does the number belong to? Why give a fuck about trans people if they're less than a 1% of the populatoin and they're not actively harming you?
