Some, but there are a lot of people here who recognize the hypocrisy and trash policies put into place in the state by politicians who do not wish to govern, only consolidate power.

Do this lot of people vote?

They do, but Texas is one of the most difficult states to register to vote. Voter suppression is real and by design.
This explains it well: Texas’s Voter-Registration Laws Are Straight Out of the Jim Crow Playbook
and Analysis: It’s harder to vote in Texas than in any other state

I will never get why you have to Register at all

There are actual checks and balance to ensure you’re a citizen and you vote at most once

That‘s one of the consequences of not having citizen IDs, because they’re communist.

That’s really dumb. Here in Utah, you sign up online, and you can get a mail ballot online too. I have never actually voted in person, I just fill out my ballot and drop it in one of the collection bins a few days before the election. We can even track our ballot to ensure it gets processed.
Why overcomplicate it? I don’t need to take time off to vote, and I can take my time researching the candidates. Voting should be easy.

Texas is really good at gerrymandeirng

I wish it was possible to vote strongly enough for gerrymandering to be irrelevant.
Another 51% win for Biden will certainly trigger another violent inssurection attempt and another 4 years of inaction.
The best outcome would be a landslide victory if only to show the republican voters that their ideas are not supported by the general public.

51% win for Biden seems insanely optimistic right now.

That’s a cop out. There are plenty of terrible people in that state.
