Don’t Texas My Virginia
Readers from outside the U.S. who may not be following the depravations of American politics will not likely understand the billboard here.
Texas is governed by a man who is anti-vaccination, anti-science in general, anti-voter rights, and rapidly anti-abortion. The state’s COVID-19 case rate is among the highest in the country, and most Texans, sick or healthy, are angry that their home has become such a backward society.
In the billboard, “Texas” is used as a verb, meaning to destroy a state with regressive policies, and fortunately, most Virginians don’t want to suffer that fate.
