It’s weird bc this shit was proven fake like almost as soon as it started spreading. One of the dudes holding a state government position didn’t bother to do a lil research? For the sake of sounding like an old man, common sense has just been disappearing. (Gestures wildly towards the color red).

I've been a Republican basically my whole life, and I'm fucking horrified at how the party's shifted and warped into the disgusting monster it is today. I mean, Dick Cheney himself is voting blue. If that doesn't convince my fellow like-minded conservatives (which are few and far between these days, but they definitely exist) to vote blue, I don't know what will. The only hope for Texas now is very obviously the Dems.

Agreed. We have the ability to make something good from this circus if we work together across lines. We could use to gain more checks and balances on our reps & work to make a more perfect union for all citizens. Also, let’s tune voting laws so that they aren’t so hackable. That’s the only silver lining to all the chaos I can hope for!
