keep spreading the truth, keep showing the evidence. Be it news reports, video clips or whatever any time some dumbass tries to claim the Dems weren't behind the 'defund the police' narrative.I mean, what can we really do about it?

It didn't work in the 80s. Look at how massively Reagan wonThe Dems managed to convince everyone that Republicans were suddenly racists in the 70's/80's, they probably don't see why they can't try it again.
I don't think it'll work as well for them this time.

And it will backfire once againIt's become 'common knowledge' among a huge percentage of the population since then.
Let's hope. I recently saw a statistic that said 61% of democrats think ALL republicans are racists.And it will backfire once again

Many of them probably don't actually care, and are just using the fear of being called racists as an excuse because they don't want to do their jobs; or at least, not the ones we elected them to do.Ehh, it's been pretty accurate anecdotally as well.
A very large chunk of people think we're racists.
Tbh I don't even care. I just wish republican politicians would grow some balls and stop being afraid of being called racists, and just do their jobs.
Do you like your suburbs and quaint towns with single houses and picket fences? Well, you're racist and the federal government will make sure you'll soon come into contact with a higher housing density.

Uh huh... What do you mean by socialist, and what makes you think I am one? Even if I were (And it's not how I'd identify myself.) the latter doesn't follow from the former. As someone who works for a small business that's like a second family to me I do indeed care on a personal level. On the more broad and intellectual level I think that the efficiency of big business is generally preferable. Either way I am very much in favour of a strong competitive economy.your a litteral socialist no one here belives you when you say your pro any kind of business.
This is a bit frustrating, considering that small businesses were massively hurt by covid lockdowns in comparison to big businesses.Texas: "Help people and small businesses suffering from covid!? Fuck that noise!"
Well, yeah that's all kind of true at least. I disagree with you about interpretation and emphasis on some of it I think, but the only bit I'd really argue is at the end where you seem to be suggesting that a wall would have any meaningful impact on covid spread. It's pretty debatable how much it'd impact illegal immigration in the first place, but the real issue is that the cat is thoroughly out of the bag now. What's the infection rate, something like 1/10? Unless his border wall efforts involve developing a time machine, spending covid relief money on a wall does nothing to actually relieve those afflicted. It just seems like a political stunt at the expense of the citizens.This is a bit frustrating, considering that small businesses were massively hurt by covid lockdowns in comparison to big businesses.
And when Texas ended our lockdown, there were people and politicians that said it was 'reckless' and that we cared more about money than lives. If we had stayed locked down, the small businesses would have been hurt more.
Abbott used money from one part of his budget to try and stem the tide of illegal immigrants, a wave that our federal government created a pull factor for. And since the federal government is now providing funds without saying how those funds must be used, he's planning on refilling the budget that was spent.
And undocumented immigration is an issue that tangles with covid, because then you have undocumented people moving throughout the state. If any of them have Covid, they are a vector for spreading the virus.
Okay I’m confused why do you think a border wall won’t work? Like what’s the thought process there?Well, yeah that's all kind of true at least.

The wall was a pretty dumb idea from the get go, nothing more than a grand gesture from trump that he lied about repeatedly. Texas shouldn't have fronted any cost of paying for such, and the fact that their government chose to hardly seems like justification for spending more money on it that was distributed with the intention of helping people who's lives have gone to shit.
