And we have to keep it going. For as long as ive lived in the state its been purple, but overwhelmingly went red because of gerrymandering, and more importantly lack of engagement by democratic voters. They felt it was pointless, because republicans always win, and controlled so much of the government. I assumed even if dems turned out that there would be shenanigans to prevent a republican loss. Yet here we are.

I’m still surprised. I’m waiting for the Texas legislature to do some lame duck shenanigans to strip power from the governor and lt governor at least
I know theyre already looking to strip the power to set the agenda in the legislature from the lt. Governor.
