Democrat Are Running Texas - Stupid Shit Republicans Say [View all]

The far-right's misinformation and manipulation are a fabrication of reality.

The Texas Scorecard, a far-right propaganda outlet funded by West Texas billionaires Tim Dunn and Ferris Wilks, just published a documentary (or maybe a mockumentary) about how Democrats obviously run the Texas House because… Ken Paxton.

Here is the video, but fair warning, it’s absolutely absurd. I watched it to save you time. I’ll break down the entire thing below.


The video repeatedly claims that Democrats control the Texas House. This assertion contradicts the well-established fact that Republicans hold a majority of seats in the House and have for over two decades. In the 2022 election, Republicans secured 85 out of the 150 seats, while Democrats held 64. The assertion that Democrats control the House is not accurate. It’s laughable.

Let’s talk about all of the recent legislation Republicans passed under so-called Democratic leadership:

A ban on sanctuary cities.

Billions for border security.

A ban on abortions.

Unlicensed carry of handguns.

A ban on so-called CRT.

A ban on so-called DEI.

A book ban.
