Ted Cruz has been slammed for joking that Texans should “join me in Cancun” as the state braces for a deep freeze.

“Texans, with the freeze coming, wrap your pipes, cover your plants, stay off icy roads & keep your family safe. And, if it gets too damn cold, join me in Cancun!” he wrote on X.

        I mean, I’m a Blue voter here who will leave the moment my work contract is up.

        At this point, I’ve also thrown up my hands and been like “Fuck it. Those of us who tried, tried. Texas deserves what it gets.”

        I’ll keep voting Blue until I bounce somewhere else, but idk how else you want us to feel. It’s like screaming into a void here. Abbott had already pushed the 6 week “heartbeat bill”, before he got re elected in 2022. That didn’t scare Texans then.

        It feels like people want oppression here.

        So what should we do? Storm Texas and remove their elected official cause they’re not good for the people who didn’t vote for him?
