Finally the Dems have become racist enough to win in texas. If you don’t think this is a good thing you must be a Russian antisemite
Chinese bot here
Bet you feel pretty stupid now, huh?
Where does Blue Texas cope come from anyway? Seems like my whole adult life certain dems have been huffing this copium that Texas will go blue the next election trust me bro just one more election and Texans will vote blue I promise bro.
Did they hear about all the rich conservative Californians moving to Texas & decide every Californian is a lifelong democratic voter no matter their material conditions?
“Demography is Destiny” has been a big belief in the past ~20 years for Dems. Basically assuming that as the Latino population becomes larger in the state, and seeing Latinos typically favor Dems in recent electoral history, Texas will eventually turn blue. And it seemed to be a decent heuristic for a time—Beta O’Dork had the strongest performance for a Dem senate candidate in decades, with a margin of 2.6 percent.
2020 onwards has shown that (shocker) Latinos will not just blindly vote blue. Cost of living in 2024 was a big big issue. But of course, cost of living is still an issue so I think there’s a real possibility we see Talerico take it in the fall as anti-incumbency comes back to bite the GOP.

That’s when the libs break out the calipers and start talking about “machismo culture”
I highly doubt it. Texican culture is by far one of the most susceptible to “Latin white supremacy” rhetoric, and an absolute crap ton of small business owning well respected members of the Latin community that are diehard Trump supporters, literally pulling up the ladder behind them.
That is besides the fact that Texas is basically becoming the equivalent of Arizona for retired Democrats but for Republicans. The amount of money they are burning here could be used much better to completely sew up and secure swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin, but instead they would prefer to siphon off millions of dollars on yet another Texas boondoggle, that even if it does work, will just be, at best, another Blue-Dog Democrat for them to play the Joe Manchin game with.
It comes from the fact that it is an excuse to spend millions of donor dollars on ad agencies and consultants (who when you look into it are usually related to high level Dems or other bureaucrats in Washington) and drive tens of millions in donations without any actual political or material gains. It is a forever promise they can make, a money hole. And every year they will get a percentage or two closer, only to fall back again the next midterm.
And they will do this forever, because who is going to stop them?
Larger cities in Texas like Austin and Dallas are majority blue, but are gerrymandered to make sure they stay red. Or there’s so much voter suppression, it becomes impossible for democratic voters to cast their ballots.
The solution would be to unfuck the districts in Texas and implement stuff like election day is a holiday, but that would require systemic changes that could have negative consequences in places where democrats do the same thing to republicans and third parties. So instead, they think by voting hard enough, they can flip Texas. This ignores the fact working class PoC in Houston have nothing in common with oil barons and cattle ranchers living in the same county, but outside of the city.
Haven’t they been saying this every election cycle since Obama?
Yes
Shocked we don’t have a Beto emote.
My favorite thing from the 2016(?) primaries was a picture of Beto standing on a table overlaid with “stand on something even if you don’t stand for anything”
What the fuck
Don’t we?There’s a litany of these losers
finally, a zionist elected.
LMAO never in a million years is Texas going to vote for anyone to the left of Hitler.
Remember when Florida and Ohio used to be swing states?
The Democrats are so shit it’s unreal
Fuuuuuck, I thought this was a weather report about an incoming blue norther. I was hyped 😔
