Texas 2020 exit poll, Latinos voters only. When this state flips, it’s gonna flip hard.
It’s a race to the bottom that they will never reach, because the bottom doesn’t exist.
Not all of us voted for this, in either state.
All I can do is keep voting for Democratic candidates (even when they are lame - hello, Sarah Stogner) and hope that more people wake up to the jackassery they have been supporting. Paxton’s lawsuit settlement, to be paid by taxpayers, might be one tiny crack in the levee.
Now, any woman’s body: that’s something different. It’s the wholly owned property of the legislature. Oh, and also the woman’s impregnator.
(apropos of nothing, that might make a good sf horror movie title: IMPREGNATOR)
Women (of any color) already know.
- The people who didn’t vote for Abbott or DeSantis are suffering.
- There are people who are gullible and/or foolish and/or stupidly bought into the populist, hateful BS of Abbott or DeSantis and voted for them are suffering. Someday they may regret their choices.
- As for the die hard haters and fascists who thirst for, vote for, and are complicit in electing authoritarian officials, I hope to hell they suffer mightily. That includes Abbott and DeSantis.
It’s what policy people call a “natural experiment”. Russia, too, is often used as a natural experiment as it is a kooky place with some data available.
These clowns are just geeks biting off chicken heads drawing a crowd and thinking it makes them popular.

I think it’s pretty clearly the case that it’s working for both of them.
What Abbot and Dan Patrick fail to realize is that along with my Blue Austin, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and most cities along the I35 corridor and east are turning Blue®. (Bluer as in purple!)
While I doubt we are going Dem this year give us two years and the majority will be fed up with this crowd. The current R House Speaker is reading the “tea leaves” better than his Senate counterpart Dan Patrick.
In state maybe, nationally? Fail Army.
I dunno man…they’ve got a lot of catching up to do if they want to fuck up like the UK…
The global right is so fucking stupid it gives me nosebleeds.
Wisconsin would like a word.
Iowa was only the sixth bluest red state in 2020.
C’mon, people, you need to be aware that there are some states with very deeply shitty politics out there. Hellscapes like Wyoming, Oklahoma, and West Virginia.
Oh NO!
More time for musical theater now.
The citizens suffer? Maybe they should not have voted for them.
“Grindr: The Musical!”
(Did I just think that out loud?)
I always assumed he was straight but I have serious doubts now.
I always assumed he was straight…
I just went with unstable…
