Respectfully, I am not sure that you understand the political sentiment in rural Texas where I live. My senators are Ted Cruz, which should be enough said, and John Cornyn, who is currently running as far to the right as possible because he’s being challenged by Ken Paxton, our insaely rightwing AG.

My neighbors fly Trump flags and one has a portrait of Trump painted on his truck. A constitutional amendment requires approval of 2/3rds of the House and Senate, which are both controlled by the GOP and ratification by 38 states. 23 states have governments completely under GOP control.

I understand that the situation is a special one, especially in Texas. On the other hand, 70% of eligible American voters didn't vote for Trump—quietly accepting everything and giving up can't be an option, can it?🤔

It shouldn’t be, but so far Trump’s action only affect a small percentage of the voting population. The plurality of people who didn’t even bother to vote last November certainly won’t be stirred to action until they are affected personally and most of his supporters will never change their minds.
