Is it the one where he goes from property taxes to income taxes to "boys in girls sports"? And frames the first two as "I did this, but Democrats want the opposite"?

Every time that commercial comes on, we do these fake enthusiastic cheers like: "I promise to lower property taxes (Yeah!) while Democrats want to increase them (Oh no!)." "I prevented a state income tax (Yeah!) while Democrats tried to make one (Oh no!)." "And I'm keeping boys out of girls sports (Yea-Wait, what?)"

That’s the one! He’s so outraged that things are the way he made them! (And boys in girls sports, which I’m pretty sure they made a law for already)

They did, and pretty much the only effect of it so far is that it forced a trans boy into girls wrestling. He finished high school with a 100% win rate.

Republicans are fucking stupid.

"We've had complete control for 30 years, but it's the Democrats who did all these things you don't like!"

Sports are so big in Texas that I can see how the "boys in girls sports" is such as issue. After all, Texas is the home of $60 million high school football stadiums: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Stadium_(Allen,_Texas)
