    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.

      Yeah I only left my red state for safety. If you can safely stay and keep pushing your neighbors it’s valuable.

    People please go out and vote because the local ones are just as important. I alway do the mail in ballots since I can research the candidates.

    Literally EVERY ELECTION in My Republican Haven of Texas was FAKE and CORRUPT because of the DEMONRATS! EXCEPT for Whichever ones we Won! I CANT READ so I SKIPPED the Article but Any we LOST is due to CHEATING and any we WON is FAIR!

    Yes, more of this, please.

    If Texas can do this, anyone can.

          I know quite a few very wealthy snowbirds. None of them are pleased with this presidency. Hope their influence can do something to make a change

            I hope so too.

            This whole administration is hitting them in the wallet, and coupled with the insurance hassles of their second or third home being threatened by insurance companies pulling out due to climate change, they’re starting to feel it.

            Fascism won’t help most of them, and it’s already starting to hurt. Florida relies on their money, and it’s already on life support.

            Boo fucking hoo.

    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.
