don't worry in the next election Texans will vote for all GOP except like 1 dem. They absolutely will be expecting broad sweeping changes and if that dem doesn't deliver its right back to the GOP because they are good for the economy.
spent some years in texas while in the army and could never understand how a state that once had ann richards was the same state that has supercharged conservatism... not because I don't get the gop's rhetoric, I understand how that speaks to chuds, but holy hell it's not really working out well for the rest of them - the state is a shithole in so many ways. but they keep double downing on conservatives. keep reelecting ted cruz. it's wild.
and at the end of the day they want to spark a joint and just smoke it, and even though they overwhelmingly vote for it, conservatives get to say 'nope. fuck you.'
