Texas GOP Mints New Platform for ’22 and ’24, and It’s a Doozy

What it now means to vote Republican in Texas. Last week there was a post on social media: “Canada must feel like its living in the apartment above a meth lab.” I promise you, Texas was not always like this. Among hundreds of minute demands designed to micro manage American…
