      If you want to see how ignorant some voters can be, there is really no better evidence than Ted Cruz. I followed his recent Senate race in Texas. In a campaign speech, Cruz said he was fighting the elite.

      • His father owns an oil company in Canada.
      • He attended a private prep school in Houston. His classmates were Bush family kids.
      • He attended Harvard University and Princeton
      • His wife Heidi Cruz is a top executive at Goldman Sachs

      This guy is fighting the establishment? Are you kidding me? 🤦🤦🤦.

        You have to remember it’s not about facts, it’s about feelings. As I always say, we’re all susceptible to that to some extent, but the republicans have it bad.

          I honestly don’t understand how he still gets elected here. I would cry systematic election fraud in Texas but the majority of my parents generation seemingly doesn’t vote at all. But their parents who just watch Fox News all day sure fucking do.
