Of most banned books (801). It’s tough living among so many ignorant, biased people.

republicans; namely abbott, patrick, cruz, paxton, gohmert, etc. ad nauseum.

I will never understand why so many fellow Texans vote republican year after year.
My right-winger friends won't or can't argue with me, the only thing they have is this "whataboutism."
And even that falls flat 99 percent of the time.
