It was a coalition of: liberal white women, blacks, Hispanics, and Muslims.

They all hate Trump. Hate is a motivator…..

The state will suffer greatly.

The only solution is to get rich enough that you can control your micro world or personal environment and experience. The state will go to shyyyyte.

Half your state is ESL or doesn't speak it at all.

That's not to make excuses for Trump, because he contributed plenty, but this was inevitable for Texas given your demographics. Trump just sped it up.

People underestimate how unpopular vouchers are in Texas. Trump helped target every Rep who didn’t back them and people are pissed.

agreed, they had to. they ran shitty candidates and a lot of Republicans/Conservatives can’t stomach Abbott much longer because he let in a million H1Bs into Houston/Dallas.

maybe I’m clueless on the topic, but you think vouchers were a big factor compared to the economy, the Iran war, and how shitty the (R) candidates were?

I mean I have two young kids and a wife as a teacher and it wasn’t even something we considered when voting.

796k LCA filings (which don't include wives and aunties) since he took office. Over 500k of them since 2019. Everyone can keep screaming racist, all day long, unless you've tried to get a job in tech in this state.

The filthy foreigners that just tore down the historic Kirby mansion in Houston in order to build yet another arse-smellin' quickie-mart selling vapes and purple energy-drinks turned out to be pretty symbolic of what's happened to Texas. And the rest of the country, to be honest. Third-world trash pit.

Literally nobody asked for that. Turn off OAN and go outside every now and again. The only people that talk about trans people are republicans. It’s weird. Do I want Elon to get his balls taxed off? Hell yeah, dude just dropped a quarter billion of his own money to influence Texas elections. Not one person should have the ability to do that. Nobody’s coming for your $80k w-2. Relax.


Progressive faggotry in a nutshell.

Governor is red. Both senators are red. Don’t have a large group of people in burkas with Islamic flags waving in our largest city. I mean…., it’s not like the state is void of issues, but we aren’t facing the glaring problems y’all are.

Fix your state before it costs us The Republic. This is the final off ramp. There’s not another one. If you don’t learn this final lesson, you get no chance of repeating it.

He can’t control H1B since that was fully federal and DHS. They moved to Texas due to most of the business moved to Texas. That is mostly federal policy.

This probably should be wake up call for people to turn up and vote next time

Just like the Astrodome, anyone could have bought it to save it.

Surely you haven't noticed the businesses within a block, right? Trick Azz bus stop, Flix Bus, Dollar Rent a Car, Glam Shop Girls, Dei lish lash and makeup, T-Mobile, SLT Hair extensions, and Starbucks.

An historic treasure that defined the character of the neighborhood to be sure.

To my knowledge this is the first time the Hispanics had a chance to jump at voting one of their own for governor and they jumped at the chance- I think this explains the swing a bit in Texas

again, because where you live is already a shithole. You’re now just actively routing for the downfall of Texas because of peen envy.

You stupid or something? The ultra rich do not, nor will they ever pay shite in taxes-no matter what side of the respective aisle they are on.

Who really gets fricked? The W-2 employees that make between 250-500k a year. They take a lot
