@ct_bergstrom I wish that those who supported or voted for this guy would recognize that this lecturer is advocating for changes that would improve society and their lives, even if they disagree with the policies. But alas we now live in this strange culture in which party trumps all, even the general welfare. Texas looks more like Hungary every day.
