I have lived in Texas for almost sixty-five years. There are so many good, decent people here. We vote. We mobilize. We protest. Maybe we make some dents, but I'm not sure because regardless Maga Republicans control this state. Plus a federal judge Trump appointed is here to overturn any verdicts they don't like. If I was a young woman, I wouldn't live here. Ted Cruz is pure scum, and I am going to vote for Colin Allread. Even so Cruz will probably win because people have brain worms. At midterms nine million Texans stayed home. Nine million. I promise not to be one.

Thanks for the reminder that the Good People in Texas are Really Good People (cuz it's harder to do there)

It is. Some still seem good at first glance, til you mention equality. Then it’s qualified in a million different ways that I had never noticed before.

Oh thank you. I have only been in Texas for sixty-two years. Loved it before W and the dirty tricksters. I will vote for Allred but think he was stupid to give up his seat when Ted is the slimmest cheater here. And that is a tall hill to climb. Texas is hopeless but hope not all swing states are. DFW would be purple, as Houston was, if not for the evil shenanigans
