Texas Special Session: July 1

The Special-Ed class that is Texas state government is coming back on 1 July to attempt to defeat State Senator Wendy Davis.  This will be the test for the purported "left" "liberal" "progressive" "Democrats" in Texas; can the pathetic anti-reactionary sector of Texas politics really stand toe-to-toe with the rabid right-wing machine?  My opinion is of course not.  Wendy Davis is going to get stomped into a bloody smear, and her "supporters" are going to run like scared little pussies.  The ignorant majority will have their way because the Democratic infrastructure in Texas is useless.  If, IF, the progressive side is going to grow, this will be a huge test for them.  Senator Davis will not be able to stand alone this time.  So, what will the good guys do?  Will the opposition become mobilized enough to derail Rick Perry's naked political ploy?  Will the (few) people in Texas who are not complete fucking mutton heads finally rise up against the inane oppression forced upon them by the Republicans?  I'm not hopeful.  I see a quick victory for the bad guys and complete capitulation by the feckless anti-Republican cohort.  No outrage, no blowback, nothing, it will be an easy win for Perry, just like Wisconsin was for Walker.
