I don't have a lot to share here today, but was reading an article not long ago that I felt was worth sharing. It's about the modern history of my home state of Texas politics and how the politics of Texas have apparently become "the nation's bellwether", which I find to be a very depressing thought. I just thought I'd share it so that others can understand why I find living here as a leftist discouraging. It's just this sense of perpetual hopelessness that sets in, you know?
