People who say stuff like this don’t understand how anything works. Sure, talk trash about policies, the GOP and politicians. But it’s shitty and counterproductive to say the progressive voters of Texas didn’t try hard enough. Why don’t the people of North Korea raise up and oust the regime? Would you say it’s because North Koreans don’t want it bad enough and so they deserve whatever they get?
Deserving and being responsible for are not necessarily the same thing. You can dress it up however you like but at the end of the day it is the citizens of Texas, voters and non-voters alike, that decide the political direction of the state. You may not like it but enough of your neighbors do that it doesn’t matter. Deflecting blame and feeling sorry for yourself isn’t going to solve that problem.
