What did you think of Talarico's CNN Town Hall performance, and do you think it moved the needle either way?

From Ken Paxton making up a bold faced lie that James Talarico was in a mental institution, to trump (once again) lying that Americans will receive a $5k check if they vote republican, it’s getting hard to keep up with the BS. Why do republicans constantly feel the need to lie as a strategy to win?

And conversely, why are people stupid enough to just believe it at this point?
Whatever happened to actually having a platform? Or are people so easily swayed with partisanship that they’d vote for a dead billy goat just because it had on a MAGA hat?

Why are there so many Texans who think that a state income tax can be imposed?

Texas voters approved a constitutional amendment in November 2019 to explicitly prohibit a state personal income tax. In order to repeal it, it would take a two-thirds supermajority vote in both chambers of the Texas Legislature PLUS approval in a statewide voter referendum. So, no politician will impose a state income tax in Texas. Period.

Hey Reddit! I just moved to Texas from Iowa, and I’m still getting to know the area. What are some fun things to do, cool places to visit, or interesting activities around here? I’d love to hear your recommendations for places to explore, hang out, or just have a good time. Just a curious girl looking for some fun things to do in my new home! 😊
