We spent 13 weeks rv'ing in Texas before Abbott went MAGA, and we really enjoyed it.

I just can't in good conscience support a state that treats hispanics and women like Texas does. I will never spend one cent there until Abbott and his sycophants are gone!

Sorry for our good Democrats there, but that's just me.
