In Texas it may be best for Republicans to affiliate with the democrats before 2028

No.

If one and a half million republicans in Texas in 2026 decide to participate in the process of election of democrats in 2028, it will have more of an impact than voting republican in 2028. We can come home when the crazies are gone.
I've convinced myself.

Republicans have been bending for years, lets do it some more.

For example, Rahm Emmanuel is already considering running for President. In my opinion and based on what he says he is a much more reasonable democrat than Mark Kelly or AOC or Kamala Harris.

Your problem is believing a democrat. Spanberger in VA ran as a moderate. How did that work out?

Joe Biden was supposed to be a moderate. We got open borders, censorship, and naked trannies on the White House lawn.

We've seen this play out over and over.

I thought people don’t register by party in Texas ? They can pick the party the want to vote for in the primary . It’s better to get the far left candidates they will get less votes then a moderate.

You don't register party affiliation. That is true. But you do vote in a primary. I've always voted Republican. It's foolish to think this is going to be an easy comeback for republicans. It won't.
Considering the risk to the country from the candidates the democrats are running, I can't do anything to affect that in the republican primary. But I can in the democrat primary. 4.25 million voted for Paxton. If 2.25 million of them instead voted in the democrat party primary it is the only way to influence what will likely be a done deal for democrats. Unfortunately Texas is way down the list for primary states.
It would be much better if this happened in South Carolina or New Hampshire.

Hang on I’m trying to down vote you more. I can’t stand Texas but this is the most “if you can’t beat em join em” bullshite I’ve ever heard.

Texas has open primaries. You just have to declare the day when you vote in a primary and you can change every time if you want.

One of the reasons Paxton was on the ticket is a lot of Democrats declared R during the primary and voted for Paxton because they thought he would be easier to beat. Which turned out to be true.

I did the same when Hillary was on the ticket. Long story short in Texas the other party can help push bad candidates if enough of them show up and declare for a primary.

In Texas, party affiliation expires at the end of a calendar year

Enlighten me here. I moved to TX 28 years ago. I registered as a Republican then and have not once updated that with the state. I go to the polls, show them my drivers license and they give a Rep ballot in the primaries.

I know I can change my affiliation if I want but have never had to update it since 1998.

Thanks. I guess I didn't register for any party when I arrived in '98. I go to the poll and, I remember now, there are two lines. I can choose either. Chosen Rep for 28 years in TX.

The ‘Socialism’ genie is out of the bottle and it’s not going back in. The Idea (Marxist Ideology) that a society should have rules which include a guarantee of basic life giving goods and services to ALL of its citizens is absolute. And such is polar to that of the Individual Rights principle upon which the Constitutional Republic was founded.

Capitalism via the CR guarantees that the populace cannot vote the fruits of other people’s labors out of their pockets. Marxism views this as “Darwinian Economics” and therein morally inferior to ‘unselfish’ Marxism. Albeit in such a Marxist economic paradigm the most productive citizens lose incentives to produce and the society as a whole stagnates.

Throw in the radical idea of idealist egalitarian DEI (no qualifications for subsidization) and that becomes a societal suicidal folly. (“Behold there is a way that seemeth right unto man but the end thereof is destruction “.

If we exist in a Spiritual Universe, then it makes perfect sense that Satan (the delusional Idea that a Derivative/Entity of God can be equal to the Creator) becomes a real issue of contention. “War in heaven and in earth “ as it were. Satan believes that it got booted from heaven unjustly so, and DEI is a ploy to argue that point. Go to the Bible to imagine the future of this conundrum.

This is a lot bigger than a society deciding who gets what and why. And who gets power in ‘Heaven’/Spiritual Realm. It all about power.
