The problem is that to plan for large scale disasters require large scale coordination across multiple counties/towns but Texas has a culture that doesn't like giving any single organization the jurisdiction and power to make those plans. Local governments are hamstrung by over zealous libertarians and state government has the power hungry predators who find innovative new ways to be corrupt.

Texas will always be a victim because the people think it's the way things should be.

Texas is like one of those exes who never seemed to think that much in general, and also just loved stupid drama constantly.

They're not allergic, they're just stupid.

Not stupid, just the people who make the rules are not affected by the disasters or they can afford to buy their way to a place that's not affected when there's something going on. They don't give a flying fuck about the average person. With that in mind they just simply don't want to spend the money.

It's God's job to make the plan, not yours buddy.....

What in the actual fuck is that picture

So while the actual picture of the evangelicals praying over it appears to be made up, the statue is real and the evangelicals who reject the teachings of Jesus for Trump ARE idolaters in the Biblical sense.

Its splicing the golden idol from cpac however many years ago and an image of them blessing the real trump in the white house (or somewhere) from his first term.

Yeah, that's it. Just needs to be presented as a meme or parody so it's not undermined.

Ohh, good catch! I hadn't looked at it closely, but now I see it. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll include that next time I share it because I didn't the first time in another post. We don't need any more misinfo out there.

My thoughts exactly. The message is right and true, but it's being conveyed by parody, not historical record. Presenting it as something that literally happened will undermine its effectiveness. In the right context, it makes the point very well, just like most memes.

That thing is hideous, but it looks like they captured his tiny hands perfectly.
