Some voters may, but the main goal is to manage society.

It's a perfect replacement subject for income inequality, debate about guns, foreign policy like isolationist movement.

Because of the electoral system, Republicans in Texas had a big issue with immigrations from "blue states" - they could loose it forever. This is an existential threat for them - first fight was Heartbeat bill. Now they have a perfect tool to slow down the process or even reverse it.

If people from blue states really wanted to make a difference, they'd move to low-population states like Wyoming and Montana. It's the Senate that's the ultimate roadblock, not the House.

most people don't care, they won't move for that. But Covid/Remote work/housing is pushing them, hence Rep. went all-in.
