As someone who actually lives in Texas this is such awesome news. Eveyone kept saying oh just leave the state! No...fuck that. We need MORE like-minded people to stay and vote these Maga idiots out of office. Texas will prob never be fully blue. But I'll take a purple Texas over the direction it was headed any day.
Honestly, this gives me hope. I live in a red state and I've always heard the "leave the state" argument, but it's my state too! I also see people getting tired of the same old rhetoric from the magats and I couldn't be happier.
I actually love a lot of things about our state. There are good people, there's good food, there's some really beautiful scenery, the music scene is crazy....I really like it here. I just hate the jackasses running the place.
DFW, Austin, and Houston account for a lot of people. All blue as fuck. If we could get people excited about something, anything, we could easily be purple.
The Tarrant County GOP went 0-for-11 in the county’s three largest cities: Fort Worth, Arlington, and Mansfield. Let that sink in. They didn’t just lose a few races. They got shut out entirely.
Fucking Amen dude. Recently saw a clip about the 'F.U.R.R.I.E.S.' act. Jesus Christ Texas gov is a disgrace. Hoping this is the beginning of shit turning around.
Agreed. If we want to fix this country, we’re going to need to swing super-majorities away from the GOP. Our next President needs to be committed to the goal of restricting the power of the Executive Branch. We’ll need a congress that makes checks and balances clearer.
Do we need to restrict the power of the executive branch? Definitely. I believe that if the next President isn't conservative they should prioritize first undoing all the batshit craziness of the current administration, pack the Supreme Court, then lock things down so runaway executive power can't happen again.
Thank Fuck. Finally an ounce of good news coming out of what has been an absolutely sithole of a state lately. And this is coming from someone who has lived there their whole life. Now if this keeps up and midterm elections go the same way I won't look for any excuse to leave for the sake of my future family.
