I followed his recent Senate race in Texas. In a campaign speech, Cruz said he was fighting the elite. His father owns an oil company in Canada. He attended a private prep school in Houston. His classmates were Bush family kids. He attended Harvard University and Princeton His wife Heidi Cruz is a top executive at Goldman Sachs This guy is fighting the establishment? Are you kidding me? 🤦🤦🤦. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 8 points 1 year ago (1 child) You have to remember it's not about facts, it's about feelings. As I always say, we're all susceptible to that to some extent, but the republicans have it bad. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago I honestly don't understand how he still gets elected here. I would cry systematic election fraud in Texas but the majority of my parents generation seemingly doesn't vote at all. But their parents who just watch Fox News all day sure fucking do. permalink fedilink source parent
