The disaster in Texas


I live in Oklahoma. We got a lot of ads up here for Paxton / Talarico, but I was not even aware that Abbott was up for reelection.

Him losing to a Latina stuns me.

What was the big knock on him? The H1B thing? He deserves it, if so.

And they would all vote for Republicans, because both of those groups are socially conservative. But the Trump's government for the last 2 years had behaved like a corrupt facist state. Ice tactics and lack of accountability was bad enough. Toss in the tarifs, Iran war, and $6 diesel, I'm not surprised it turned out how it did.

People born in America in general are also the minority here. The Hispanics have been here a while but the middle eastern and Asian immigrants have flocked here as well. Dfw alone has like 5 mosques. All that "Traditional Texas" stuff is long gone. That isnt even counting the people from California that have been coming here in waves for the last 5-10 years. Ironically because they can no longer afford to live where they voted for this shite. Republicans didnt do themselves any favors but this isnt the Texas you read about in history books.


Gregg Abbott is responsible for bring in all the outsiders, right?

What was he thinking? I'm guessing he was paid a lot under the table for helping with that.

One word that I hope goes away with Trump is grift. Overused nonsense. And if you want to see grift just wait till these folks get in office you fricking moron.

And Trump barging in and running Cornyn out to back the most unlikeable politician in our state was the final straw.


Everyone hated Cornyn you fricking dumbass. He would’ve gotten smoked as well. Only folks that didn’t hate Cornyn was the Bush type.

So you voted for Dems to control your state? Well, your voice was heard. Might be the last time though.

The republican nominee sucked, but his primary opponent sucked worse. Can't a state as big as Texas come up with a decent candidate?

I don’t think they’ll ever be able to calculate the real amount of money that poured into the state for Tallarico and others

In my lifetime, I’ve never seen the amount of TV ads, billboards, text messages, Facebook ads

There has to be a billion dollars worth of money dumped in the last couple weeks alone from mystery sources to support these candidates

Bo French and Paxton have no business being anywhere near public offices. They’re unserious people just looking for their next grift.

The rest got swallowed in their wake. All those trans ads Musk spent $500 million on? Yeah he’s an idiot, no one wanted to see that or cares about that. Everyone was complaining their family had to watch those ads. Massive backfire.

We are a nation of stupid people. It isn't deeper than that.

This election will be viewed as historically terrible for our country.

i can’t take that poster serious after reading all the nonsense he spewed the first 2 pages. I suspect he’s larping as a Texan, because Cornyn was fricking awful. People here hated him as much as they do Paxton.

Gas prices are insane. Iran war is incredibly unpopular. Everyone knows how corrupt Paxton is. Dan Patrick went full retard in banning THC just a couple months before election.Then being arrogant about it saying "if Texans don't like it, then vote me out".
Anyone with a brain in Texas saw this coming. I tried to warn you all months ago.

He was championing diversity is our strength, by bridging big business and minorities hoping for a better life.

I can't wait to see how fast aggy brings back its DEI programs with utter glee after inauguration day. They can't wait.

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.


This is why the Democrats will lose in 2028. Their solution to inflation, wars, open borders, and corruption is to TAX their political opponents. Wow.

I bet you never complained once about George Soros or any other leftist billionaire influencing elections for the past 20 years. Y'all are hypocrites. Good luck squandering the next two years on trying to jail Republicans. Let’s see how that works out.
