A white guy in a MAGA hat and grey shirt with the American flag on the front, and I H8 Socialism on the shoulder sitting at a table with his wife who is showing him all the past due bills.

MAGA: I’m telling you, once we get the checks from Trump for the DOGE savings…

…and tariff windfall…

…and midterm bribe…

… we’ll be fine!

Their house is in shambles. Their cupboards have stickers that read “Socialism is Evil” and “Stop the Government Handouts”

Iirc, 54% of Texans vote Democrat if it weren't gerrymandered.

Then you recalled very wrong.

Just look at US Senate and Presidential election results. These elections are voted at large so it counts everyone's votes equally no districts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_elections_in_Texas

As you can see every single presidential since Reagan was a Republican win in Texas. Majorities ranging between +3% to +27%, last election Trump won 56% of the vote.

I'm not saying the state isn't gerrymandered, it definitely is, most states are. But it's certainly not a majority Blue state at least historically. I'm hoping for a major upset this election cycle
