Sure he did. Abbott was more worried about campaigning than he was actually running the state.
Allowing DFW and HTX to be easternized is part of his problem
Is doesn’t only factor in that the eastern types will vote against him but it makes the locals vote against him too
I’m not claiming anyone in this to be doing the right or the smart thing but it’s easy to understand WHY it happened
@KennethSmi53125@GunloverClub1 Calm down doomer. The senate is going to kill any proposal from the newly elected dems. The worst the gov can do is at the emergency powers level - which is mostly u doing what Abbott did.
I’m not worried about them in the slightest.
And you shouldn’t either
@olateeman I wonder if she sterilized enough? Might need to get another bottle of sanitizer just in case you have to clean your hands again between breaths
We literally had a repub gov that was importing sandies left right and center over here, he also made a bunch of bs laws/mandates/whatever talkin bout don’t boycott Israel and shit
That’s why he lost. When the only option is vote for fucks you constantly, you either vote for a continued fucking from your incumbent, or the other party fucks you in a new way.
Either way you’re getting fucked
@cyanwonderboy@figtion Look. Irdfc what people do in their spare time. But I think there was like some controversy aside, from the gay part, about that video. Either way it’s hard to take someone serious when they’re choking on a chode for all to see online - all I’m sayin
@RogueLou18 Conflicted. Hard to believe, even in Idaho. Possible? Sure. Likely? Eh…
I’d immediately disregard if the parties were flipped but maybe that’s my bias showing.
I’d be hard pressed to believe this if I’m being honest but I won’t 100% toss it as trash.
See - this one conflicts me.
You say you moved to Texas and assimilated the values and so on
But the red parts of Texas aren’t where you live, by choice. From the little that I’ve gathered about you, you live in places like Austin, or Houston (subject to being wrong as I don’t care enough to stalk your life)
But speaking plainly, there are areas of the state that are densely populated and urbanized that have had strong democratic cores long before the Indians, the blue state leeches, the Muslims - whomever you wants to blame - moved to that area.
But the 6 major blue zones in Texas (El Paso, RGV, HTX, SATX, ATX, and DFW (yes even FW)) have been blue for decades often only made red by the suburbs of their respective counties. At multiple levels of voting. Now it’s no longer the case that the suburbs can hold the counties from turning blue.
You choose to live in the blue areas of the state. And the blue areas of the state benefit from the red areas of the state keeping the state red as a whole.
It can be appreciated that you’re fired up about this, that you’re doing your part, and trying to keep with the state values. As the latest in a long line of generational Texans there are members of my family that vote or did vote red now that used to vote blue back when Texas very much was a blue state along with most of the country.
It’s really less a red vs blue situation these days and a right vs left / right vs not right situation.
@P1152AVL@cravedcuddle Uninterested in criticism from someone sporting satan’s flag in their name
California in your location doesn’t help either
Carry on
@IsabellaMDeLuca Look, you and Abbott are both onboard with the Israel bs. And Hindus, Muslims, and illegals, are problems yes. But the same type of blue state movers that you are, also moved here in droves the same way the bad ones did.
So calm down now.
@LillianneMoo Fraud
The claims that people can’t obtain ID are simply overstated. If you have to produce some sort of gov’t issued identification for literally 99% of things you do these days, but don’t have to to vote because “racist”???
Talarico decisively smashed Paxton. Hinojosa beat Abbott by literally the amount of foreigners he allowed into the state.
The difference in totals of the gov’s race and the senate race are, interesting to say the least.
Both of them got themselves ousted of their own doing..unfortunately
