I'm just running out of patience with Abbot's good-ol-boys crew. At the rate they're going they're going to squander the growing right sentiment in the Valley and hand us back over to the Democratic urban machines. And it took us a fucking world war to escape those bastards the first time.

I've made my disdain for the man well known in this thread, but my fingers are crossed. Can you give a summary? BTW how are you? I narrowly made it home ahead of the freeze late Wednesday night..

Texas Democrats have always been plugged into urban political machines and as the Texas triangle gains preeminence in state government and economy once again they're flexing their muscle. We're lucky that the best they've come up with is Robbie O'Rourke as a brand name leader, but he has an...

Or his career/reputation/life.

I don't know anything about any of these guys and don't have the time to do research, so I'll pick out Jaworski since I recognize his name.

Lubbock, Abilene, Amarillo and maybe San Angelo. You'd need to check ahead of time to make sure a career you're interested in is available, especially in San Angelo and Abilene, but all of those cities are growing fast enough to have ample opportunities, but are small and west enough to have low...

I have mixed opinions on Mrs. Johnson. On one hand, she's a legitimate Texas trailblazer and earned her spot in politics the hard way. She was one of the first black women to enter politics in Texas and did so only five years after Civil Rights. She's also legitimately popular in her district...

The one where a bunch of people got trampled at a concert? Yes, I've heard about it but haven't looked into it.

Robert is popular with Democrats, Abbot is unpopular with Republicans. In a straight popularity contest its going to come close. Once the race starts we're going to see those numbers change pretty drastically. There is sadly a lot of blue-pilled types in east Texas that will give Robby boy's...

Here is the Texas Tribune article in question. If he was one of the congress critters that ran away to DC then he has no leg to stand on when protesting for federalism. As for the redistricting I'm going to admit, a number of the districts in Dallas and Houston are starting to look a little...

Its an attempt to copy what Larry Elder just did in California. Elder just forced the Democrats to dump over 200 million dollars defending their throne state from a 20 million dollar recall attempt. The Dems want to return the favor and its honestly a good use of Robert O'Rourke. Beta Boy is...

The Church of Satan is an atheistic LARP designed to abuses religious exemptions for the sake of abusing religion. Its neckbeard level stuff and they only pop up to give out half-baked "religion bad" takes and then fade back into irrelevancy as the cheerleaders get bored. I'd honestly respect a...

It's literal theology. Abortion has become mired in the overall Democratic cosmology and thus cannot be separated from all the racism, sexism, LGBT stuff even if it's not relevant. It's a package deal that lacks any sort of situational flexibility because it's become dogma. I hope Pelosi does...

Incredibly stupid. Abbot is the most left wing governor the state will tolerate right now. If he goes a Trumplican is almost certain to follow. Imagine Abbot without the susceptibility to outside pressure.

Oh yeah. Abbott gifted on being the conservative princeps for years but after DeSantis started actually doing conservative things rather just pretending to yell at the border or abortion every couple of months he couldn't pull it off anymore. He's stayed far enough ahead of the curve to avoid a...

Born and bred. I've lived in multiple Texas cities and work all over the state every month. Literally the only region I've never worked in is EL Paso and that's because we have a part-timer that lives there. Name a town and provided that it still has a grocery store I've probably been there.

If you have any familiarity with the history of the Texas Democratic party you'll stop being amazed by anything. Texas Dems were the entrenched political class from the day Texas was a state thanks to carpetbagging slavers moving into east Texas after it was annexed by the US. Remember, joining...

He'll need to get out of his own way, but fingers crossed.

The bullshit Texas Dems get up to is infuriating. The last time they walked out was in 2003 to stop a redistricting effort by the newly ascendant Republicans. This was of course treated as a heroic stand against evil Republican cheating, which conveniently ignored the fact that the state was...

The audacity of a bunch of shitheads that flee the state protesting authoritarianism only to beg the federal government to become even more authoritarian to stop it is galling. The bill they're protesting extends early voting, bans drive through voting, and makes you show an ID for mail in...
