EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Kicking off with a snark-filled ad for “Governor Greg Abbott’s Greatest Hits,” we highlight some of his most mind-boggling policies that will make you laugh, cry, and scream in disbelief. From hilariously opposing the Americans with Disabilities Act while being disabled himself to the stupefying rejection of billions in Medicaid expansion funds, Abbott’s policy playlist is a head-scratcher for the ages.
Annie & Elle pull no punches as they eviscerates Texas’s early adoption of draconian abortion laws, including the infamous “bounty hunter” provision. Imagine a dystopian nightmare where nosy neighbors are encouraged to sue anyone remotely involved in an abortion. Yep, that’s Texas—transforming into a reality TV show where everyone’s a contestant and the prize is societal regression.
But wait, it gets crazier! The girls expose the insidious rise of Christian Nationalism driving these lunatic laws, turning the state into a theocracy where personal freedoms are sacrificed at the altar of zealotry. And don’t even get us started on Abbott’s border policies—a xenophobic fiasco wasting taxpayer dollars on fear-mongering theatrics.
As if that weren’t enough, Trash Parade delves into the reckless defunding of public education. Who needs a well-informed citizenry when you can have overcrowded classrooms, demoralized teachers, and a population ripe for manipulation? It’s a genius plan if your goal is to keep people uninformed and subservient.
This episode features gut-wrenching stories of women suffering under Texas’s barbaric abortion restrictions, including those denied lifesaving medical care until they were at death’s door. With Supreme Court battles looming, the question remains: How far will Texas go in its crusade against women’s health and rights?
“We Messed With Texas Part II” is an over-the-top, no-holds-barred critique of the insanity unfolding in Texas. Loaded with topics like abortion laws, Christian Nationalism, border policy, and defunding public education, this episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about reproductive rights, personal freedoms, and fighting against oppressive governance.
Tune in, get outraged, and join the battle against this legislative lunacy.
