Been seeing some unusual political ads on TV. Mostly just collections of far-right talking points on guns, immigration and school vouchers. I joked that one looked like it was made by AI (perhaps it was). This is during a primary, not a general election, though.
It seems that Wilkes and Dunn, the far right wing frackers (autocorrect wants to call them “crackers”) who more or less own the Texas Legislature are behind these ads. It’s all about getting their pet project, school vouchers, approved. This plan would give about $10,000 per student to private (read: religious) schools, at the expense of Texas public schools. Massively unpopular, but the Christian Nationalists are not giving up on this one. From Texas Tribune.
