Lame sauce. Can our elected officials just freaking decriminalize weed instead of worrying about dumb crap like this?

So? You're not going to convince me it's not possible.
I also wasn't too lazy to find a way to leave the state while living out of my car. Because I was sick of the older Republicans and the lazy apathetic youth with a million excuses about why they couldn't fight for their rights.
You are the victim of your own laziness and blame others for taking action because it disproves your can't do anything attitude.
Go tell more Texans to give up on voting. Yall chose this shit.
I'm not going to chat with the person of a million lazy excuses about why they are not responsible for their own ability to vote.
So instead of voting, you took the lazy way out and went running with your tail between your legs. Just another "lazy youth with a million excuses about why you couldn't fight for your rights."
You come in here acting like a fool when you did the exact same shit that you're accusing people of, and you wonder why you get met with hostility? Maybe take a step back and look in the mirror before you mouth off. Because I dunno if you smoke pot, but you sure look like one in here.
Sounds like my comment on laziness found its mark with people too lazy to vote.
Nah, I just hate that holier-than-thou attitude that you got because you and I are lucky enough to live in places where we don't have to deal with the crazy bullshit places like Texas heap on top of the normal crazy bullshit like not making voting days holidays and closing the polling places before people get out of work. You're blaming them for being too lazy to vote when you yourself skipped outta town instead of voting. Would've mistaken you for a Trumper if we weren't literally talking about how awful they are, with the way you make assumptions about people.
That attitude ain't gonna get those asses out of office any faster. It's just gonna make sure that when the jackboots come for you, no one will have your back.
Lmao, I'm not the one stuck in the fascist shithole state. I get to enjoy watching them lose pornhub, abortions, and soon to be contraceptives, because they insist on voting for fascist trash.
Try not to take a highway while pregnant and leaving the state, a miscarriage can become a murder lol.
Feel free to keep crying in response. I'm just going to keep trash talking the shit these people put up with while insisting they have to sit on their asses instead of vote.
The only way to motivate the lazy, hateful people of Texas. Give them something to hate.
I was hopeful that you might see the hypocrisy of what you're doing and stop making a fool of yourself, but I don't care what you do. I have no skin in this game, and you're a free person, you can make your own choices like a big boy. And you've shown that you're just another Republican anyways. All too happy to see pregnant women die and victim-blame because it doesn't directly affect you, and ignoring any information that doesn't fit your narrative.
Don't worry, the leopards are coming for your face, too. Texas ain't some other country, what happens there affects you too. I'm sure the Democrats of Texas will be all too happy to motivate you to go vote when the fascists are knocking on your door. Gotta give you something to hate, or you'll just keep making excuses.
I sure hope this asshole doesn’t have the leopards come for them. Mostly because I don’t want vulnerable people who this guy throws under the bus to be harmed.
Because I’m not a raging narcissist who can only think of themselves.
It is baffling to me how someone can say people who live in a state are to blame for their situation when at least 40% of voters vote against fascists. It is like seeing 60 cents on the table and insisting it is a dollar.
Agreed, the hypocrisy on display is fascinating to me. Apparently hates the people in charge, and yet is all too happy to see them hurt people who voted against them, like he claims he did?
It'd be one thing if he was laughing at the Republicans who now can't access porn, but he's laughing at pregnant women who might die or end up in jail due to the abortion bans too? Does he think trans kids deserve to be denied access to healthcare for not voting hard enough? Where does he draw the line. Does he draw a line somewhere at all?
It's clear he has that good old Republican "I got mine, fuck everyone else" and "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" mindset now that he managed to get out of Texas.
I want you to know that I read like 10% of your first fit and nothing else. Once you announced that you weren't from or in Texas, I didn't find your input very relevant.
Okay? Good for you? Do you want a gold star for your MAGA hat or something?
We already knew that you ignore any information that doesn't fit your narrow worldview, just like any other Republican.
Lmao. I'm not the one funding the Republicans.
Enjoy paying your taxes. You're funding drowning children in the Rio Grande.
I get it, you really wanted me to know how much you don't read my responses and don't care, baka, but at least look at the context of who you're replying to so you don't make yourself look like an even bigger cunt than you already have.
But based on your replies so far, aren't you happy those kids are drowning? After all, they're in Texas, so it's their fault for not voting hard enough.
So now I’m too lazy to leave my home? Read a couple posts up asshole. My wife is completely bed bound. We can’t even leave the house. Have some goddamned humility for once.
Most people in red states are being abused by our governments. It isn’t our fault and assholes like you who think that are bad people.
Yes, it is your fault you can't find a way to vote. And you are participating in voter suppression as an active advocate.
You are half the problem with Texas.
Also, I have chronic pain and chronic headaches. I guess that makes all your asshole comments fucked up suddenly?
Hey asshole, I said that me and my wife vote every election even though it causes her immense pain.
Cool, does her pain also make you spread voter suppression tactics?
Go vote for Trump loser.
Jesus, and I thought you were just an ass. Here you are making fun of a woman with chronic pain who does the exact thing you're calling people losers and lazy for not doing. What a scumbag.
I bet you think the dead kids in Gaza deserved it for not voting hard enough or just leaving, too.
What a narrative you've painted.
I bet you're a Russian propagandist trying to stir fake story shit to divide voters in America.
Ah yes, the good ol' "I'm not an asshole! The Russians are plotting against me to make me look like an asshole!" defense. Nobody needs to pretend to make you look like an asshole, you've shown your whole ass all over this thread.
Hey guys I’m not from America but I do hate fascists as do both of you.
It hurts to see you fighting each other instead of our shared enemy.
Gotta try and find a way to mend fences here my dudes.
How can I @ the other user from this post?
Don't bother, he'll just take offense at you trying. If you look at the other comments, I and several others tried to point out how hypocritical he's being victim-blaming the people doing the things he says they're lazy for not doing when he himself gave up, and he just became more and more belligerent. Here, he made fun of a guy's wife who has disabling chronic pain and accused him of "voter suppression" because of it. In another comment, he made fun of women no longer having access to abortion. He's not looking to fix things, just a target so he can make himself feel better.
He came in here to hate Texans and nothing you or I say will change his heart. You can't fix that any more than you can compromise with fascists.
