    The state’s GOP leadership has sought to attract transplants from other states to Texas, which it has cast as a pro-business, small government paradise: a place with no income tax and consistent local regulations and where parents’ rights in schools reign supreme.

    The states billing themselves as “small government paradises” sure are keen on meddling in people’s personal medical and family affairs.

      Small enough to fit in your bedroom, doctors office, and anywhere else you think is private

        Small enough you can shove it up a vagina! Big enough to curtail rights of the entire population. Magically both.

      The GOP has been forcibly taking over public schools in blue cities, despite the objections of local parents. You may remember recent stories from Houston about their school libraries being converted to detention centers and the boy whose locs kept getting him suspended, despite the being a state law which explicitly allows it.

      Everything they say is a lie.
