@WWFerguson2@AustinHoney30 You and me both, trust me. No one is more shocked than anyone who lived through the Dow republicanism of the 1990s/2000s. I honestly think it was probably even more conservative than it seemed from the outside. Tight corporate control, virtually nonexistent media, etc
@WWFerguson2@AustinHoney30 People were legit celebrating at the polls in 2022 because of how excited they were to have a Dem Congressman. And it’s shifted even further since then - the millennial mom anti-ICE discourse on social media this year has really been something to see
@WWFerguson2@AustinHoney30 Yes! The Midland leftward shift has flown totally under the radar. It’s bizarre to watch locally bc it’s been crystal clear since 2020, but it has been plainly mischaracterized a lot by the state political reporters and operatives/party leaders (for obvious reasons)…
@eldermullenial Agree that folks will use today’s results to validate the delay, but the thing is, a Dem would’ve won at any point. If the election had been held in early 2025 it would’ve been a little risky, but by spring 2025 it was a guaranteed Dem win. This district is very misunderstood
