A state district judge granted the request Thursday, but the Texas Supreme Court directed the lower court to vacate its order on Monday.

    We’ve known this for years. Such people are either too stupid or scumbags. Speaking as a former Republican.

      Or just brainwashed. Having grown up in a conservative, christian, home-school household I was told to vote R no matter what. I didn’t really know any better until I got out into the “real world” and understood what a bullshit take that was.

      I now vote “fuck the GQP” every chance I get. That included the recent ballot issues here in Ohio for abortion rights and legal marijuana.

      I would also call myself agnostic from a religious perspective. Though I would lean more atheist if pressed.

        Dude no shit? I grew up in a rural Appalachian Christian household, homeschooled. I also consider myself agnostic.

        Several things influenced major changes in my household. While my parents marched in pro-life DC rallies and were somewhat religious, my dad was a hippie in his early years and anti-Vietnam, and my mom is truly a very empathetic person. After Bush invaded Iraq, that combined with what I consider the wild west of the internet helped break them out of the echo-chamber.

        Ultimately we all flipped 180 to progressive Dems over the years.
