   @SuiXi3D @HistoPol Yup. And there's still the issue of kids and other people who literally can't leave. And they're already suffering.

     OFC.

     As much as I think people should fight, after this year's presidential election, there must be a change.
     Greg Abbot kills and disenfranchises people through his policies. Women, refugees, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, low-paid workers, people with health issues, etc...

     Just b/c some can't leave, not everyone needs to suffer.
     Fight another day.

     @HistoPol @SuiXi3D FWIW, we're looking at moving to a swing district within our blue state. We're in too much personal danger to risk moving to a red or purple state, but we still want to try to improve our chances at the House.
