As a Texan whose family lineage can be traced back to before the state of Texas was created, going to the Texas State Fair every year since I was a child has been a way of life. Now, with Democrats in control and reckless Republicans, Dallas is no longer a safe and fun place to take your kids.
As it grew, private and public schools in Texas were given free tickets. texas state fair to distribute to students. The kids skipped school and enjoyed carnival rides, games, exotic exhibits, freshly squeezed lemonade, and always delicious Fletchers corn dogs with their families. Every fall, families lined up in front of the fair's mascot, Big Tex, for photos from the moment the gates opened until they closed. It was a quintessential part of Texas tradition, but now it's a sad reminder of all we've lost.

There's nothing like Fletchers corn dogs.
It's a shame that I can't take my daughters there because it has become very dangerous. Now they won't even let us protect them from the mayhem they allow. https://t.co/GVTb1C5fIj

Dallas, Texas, like most blue cities, troubled With homelessness, violence, and other typical social breakdowns experienced by Democratic-run American cities. The roads are terrible. All the usual places are dirty. Safety is an afterthought. This attitude also applies to events including the historic State Fair of Texas. Over the past decade, gangs and crime by unruly teenagers and adults have become widespread. include In 2023, there was a shooting at one of the food halls, making it a dangerous outing for any family.
Instead of ensuring safety by removing participants who endangered families or addressing rising crime, organizers used the shootings to demonize legal gun owners. Cameron Turner is the man who allegedly fired a gun in a crowded food hall, injuring three people. I didn't Has a permit to carry his gun.

Still, the State Fair of Texas, with permission from the Democratic-controlled Dallas City Council, announced that licensed gun owners would not be allowed to carry guns at the state fairgrounds. Despite appeals from more than 70 Republicans, Republican state Supreme Court Justice Jimmy Blacklock. appointed To the Texas Supreme Court in January 2018 by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, dominated On the side of the gun-toting left, they stripped Texans of their right to protect themselves.
Useless Republicans declare limited attendance for opening season @syun_1215. The walk to the car at Fair Park that night became more dangerous for families, but safer for criminals. https://t.co/W3H4cjm4ZM

You know the saying, “Everything that wakes up is shit”? Yes, in Texas, “everything touched by a RINO will eventually crumble.”
Taking guns away from licensed Texans does not prevent someone from using an amusement park's food hall as target practice. It only makes it impossible for families to protect themselves when criminals from around the world attack.
It makes me very sad that my children will probably never know what it's like to go to the state fair.
