Texan in Shock

Paxton-bad candidate and I thought he would squeak it out
My worse case scenario was having Talarico as a US Senator, but having all the state wide offices go Blue was a shock.
I assumed it would be status quo. Our economy is good and state is run well so why put people in office that want more taxes.
I'm hoping it is apathy on the GOP voters and it cycles back and they wake up. I suspect a lot of younger folks are shifting more to the Dems and their free stuff. So I think I see motivation in the younger voter to do something different and there was nothing motivating the GOP voters. Hopefully that motivation for the GOP comes back next cycle.
One thing I notices scrolling through all the propositions for the ISD's and other city props.....they all failed. Nobody wants to spend or be taxed anymore than they are. So I guess a lot of it comes down to cost of living. But then they elect taxing Dems. Go figure.

Check out the demographic shift in Texas. Seems a lot of you are completely unaware that you've been pushed to the voting minority by mass legal immigration.

When you bomb Iran because Israel told you to after saying no new wars - you get what you got last night.

Is it? Houston for example has been shielded from the Housing bullshite over the past 5-8 yrs and now is starting to crack.
Then everyday costs from food and gas are no better here than anywhere else.
What happened to Texas is all due to Trump's policies over the last year or so.

It’s all the California people that have been moving to Texas over the last decade

Not across the country. All of these losses across the country directly reflect what people think about how shitty the current administration is.

A frickton of people (even Texans) like weed products. Texas GOP really fricked themselves hard on that one.
It isn't just Trump fatigue that turned Texas solid blue, it's the terrible anti-freedom (and corrupt) Texas GOP.

I've been saying for a while Tennessee will be the last conservative stronghold.

The state was well run. It has slowly started to degrade as I’ve been here.

Exactly. Demographics has little to do with the changes in Texas.

People want affordability, which is understandable, but then vote for tax increasing Democrats who have the highest cost of living states in the country. So in other words, voters are morons.

Enjoy the new era of lollipops and sunshine with the democrats.
I hope they frick you hard. I would feel great if I was a criminal now.

At some point you can't beat the demographics change. And it's going to get worse since we don't have the stomach as a country to fix immigration.

Yet, they had no affect 2 years ago. Did the majority move to Texas the last 2 years?

They may take Texas House too.

They completely lost the Latino vote with egressive ICE policies they’ve pushed. Some Latino majority counties say like 40 point swings vs 2024
