  • As someone who lived in Texas for a decade, I was fully prepared for the US to abandon me after we voted in Greg Abbott again. Gubnatorial elections are popular vote elections not affected by Gerrymandering. We didn’t even have THAT excuse.

    That being said, I always said that the rest of the US should cut off everything Oklahome going South and Texas going East as long as they offered a refugee program for those of us not batshit insane.

    The only thing that would suck would be leaving behind the kiddos who dont have a say in where their crazy ass parents choose to live.












  • I legit thought Allred was it. I donated to his campaign the second I heard he was running.

    He had the political chops since he had turned a deep red district in Dallas blue for the first time ever, and held it every time he was up for re-election.

    He’s a former NFL player, which I thought was going to be a big deal to the backwater Texans.

    He is Black, so all the racist Texans could point at him and be like “We CAN’T be racist! We voted for a BLACK man to be our SENATOR!”

    And finally, he didn’t fucking have the devastating out-of-context Beto sound bit “Hell yeah we’re taking your guns!” to plague him endlessly.

    FUCK I let myself get so optimistic, and I’m still really, REALLY bitter about it.
