Transcript:

Greg Abbott vowed to make Texas the epicenter of AI data centers. And he delivered. Offering some of the largest tax breaks in the nation.

Sure, property taxes have gone up 85% under Abbott. But Texas now has 335 data centers, with at least 248 more on the way!

Others talk about building data centers, but Greg Abbott got it done!

Just imagine how much he can do in four more years.

I’m Dutch, and watching American politics from Europe, I find myself asking the same question over and over: how is this being tolerated?

From my perspective, Trump and the MAGA movement are doing enormous damage to your country. His attitude toward Putin and his treatment of Ukraine are especially difficult for me to comprehend. What I see is an American president accommodating an aggressor while turning his back on a country fighting for its survival.

On this subreddit and elsewhere, I read endless anger, disbelief and criticism. But how does that anger translate into actual resistance? Why you guys don't hit the streets like whats happening in Paris right now?

Texas has a population of 30M, nearly 2/3’s of Texans are registered to vote now. This is what all the scheming was about. They’re terrified to let us vote.
