I'm sure there are friendly and generous humans also living in North Korea and Iran. Doesn't mean I want to risk subjecting myself to their government's authority.

Real, friendly, generous humans live in Haiti, too. That doesn't make it a good travel destination.

The friendly, generous humans who resoundingly endorse the corrupt Ken Paxton's actions and will overwhelmingly vote for him to serve them in the senate this year? Actions speak louder than words. With friends like Texans, who needs enemies?

Until those people control the Texas government, I don’t see the relevance.

I grew up in South Africa during the apartheid era, when black people weren’t allowed to vote or even participate in the economy at much beyond the level of slaves. I didn’t get upset when people criticized South Africa, or boycotted it, because the country’s actions certainly justified that.

The entire US is in much the same situation now: in the process of flushing democratic governance down the toilet, elevating open corruption to the standard way of doing business, and flirting with authoritarianism to a degree virtually unimaginable just a few years ago.

In that context, the #notalltexans whine sounds rather muffled from all that sand you’ve stuck your head in.

clearly more real, non-friendly, non-generous humans live in texas, who want their government to portray itself in such a way live in texas.

a reasonable number of those people is 10-15%, not 51%+
