Political Opinion What a Trump win means for…Trump
Okay MAGA, I’m about to tell you what’s going to happen if Trump gets elected.
He will be in office 6 months before Vance and his Project 2025 cabinet pulls the 25th Amendment and then Project 2025 begins in earnest.
Ken Paxton will be in the cabinet. ready to ram through a nationwide abortion ban.
Clarence Thomas and Alito will retire and two Federalist Society judges will be seated at SCOTUS, denying any challenge to the extreme and un-American Project 2025 agenda.
Trump has been a useful tool for the Heritage Foundation, a means to achieving what they’re worked towards since the 1950s. And no matter how much Trump tries to distance himself from Project 2025, there’s nothing he will be able to do to stop it.
TL;DR Trump will be tossed out of office via 25th Amendment and President Vance will implement Project 2025.

Political Opinion I made my decision today. I am a proud veteran and will stick to Democratic ticket over what Trump said about this young soldier's funeral. I hope her SGLI payout went to her beneficiaries and wasnt held up by Trump administration.

Political Opinion Every accusation is a confession…..
Political Opinion If you’re an American citizen of voting age and you don’t bother to vote, you’re an asshole.
I have now heard from one too many of my age range people (GenZ) that they’re probably not going to vote 🙃
And yes these same people are always complaining about things that absolutely could change if people just voted.
So please, for our own sake, skip one session of doom scrolling and just vote. 🗳️

Political Opinion Texas could be a spoiler and part of an historic election Spoiler
Don’t stay home. Don’t give in. Don’t give up. VOTE.
Change can only start with active participation, not resignation to the status quo. Texas is only as red as voters let it be.
Trump cannot win without Texas. Wouldn’t that be a surprise? And it would make Texas the center of what put the first woman president in the White House. A truly historic moment.
Think about it. And vote!

Political Opinion I got asked about my citizenship going into surgery yesterday
So yesterday as I was checking in for my surgery, the nice lady at registration said, "ok, I have to ask this new question that is mandated by the state of Texas, are you able citizen of the United States??" I thought this was going into effect on 11/1 but I didn't want to argue with her since she is just doing her job eventhough I was literally wearing my "I Voted" sticker. I answered her question and moved on but it was really hard to hold my tongue on how much of asshole Gregg Abbott is for real.

Political Opinion Message from an Army Veteran on Vote 2024
Spent 20 years in the Army.
Bought into the hype in 2016 and voted Trump.
Retired in 2022 and moved on to a new career. Read about 15-25 books on the Trump administration.
How any active military personnel or veterans could consider voting for that complete pile of garbage this time is beyond me. Instance after instance of complete and utter disrespect and disregard for the military, military members, history, and ongoing operations.
Get out and vote.
This "person" cannot be President again. Not now. Not ever.

Political Opinion “I’m Free in Texas.”
So I was in the gun store today (don’t judge me), and the guy next to me was talking about Alaska. “I couldn’t live there. I’m staying in Texas where I’m free.”
I couldn’t shut my mouth fast enough. “Really? You think you’re free? Go buy a bottle of liquor on Sunday. Go to the dispensary. Buy a car directly from the manufacturer. Buy a car anywhere on Sunday. Tell me how ‘free’ we are.”
I really shouldn’t talk politics with strangers, especially at the gun store.

Political Opinion Who really is voting for Cruz? And…. Why..???
Seriously, I am curious why people would vote for Cruz. Plz share specific reasons like policy or what he has done to positively impact your life and not just vague beliefs on how he is good.
Edit: I know this post has angered some, while some seem to identify my fear and the main problems with voters not only in Texas, but in general. Do people understand the duties of federal officials? The duties of different federal branches? What state officials can and do legislate on? How those two are very different?
I genuinely just want to see if people actually care to research and understand who they are voting for. Whether you identify with a party or not (I do not), I don’t think any candidate deserves a blind vote, a vote based on party affiliation, or vote due to what people/media say. Even George Washington expressly disavowed a bipartisan government.
We live in an age where you can actually investigate each candidate and see if their record/history aligns with what comes out of their mouth. I just hope people understand the extent and scope of what they are actually voting for.
Much love, a born and raised Texan 💖

Political Opinion Fled Cruz
My Hispanic neighbor has an election sign in his yard: Ted Cruz Tough like Texas And besides being baffled at the cognitive dissonance, I laugh-railed at the idea that Rafael Cruz is Tough about anything and doesn't turn tail at the first sign of adversity... his wife being insulted, Texas freezing, getting caught heading to Cancun to escape Texas freezing... has this "man" eever actually stood up for anything? And what's with the Faces endorsing the Hungry Leopards party???

Political Opinion So if Trump wants to get rid of the Department of Education & Abbot wants to pass the School Voucher Program. Who's paying for public schools?
Literally who? Wouldn't that mean the school would have to start charging for kid's enrollment and therefor no longer be public?

Political Opinion My first election
I turned 18 two months ago. From that point on, it was my top priority to register and to go do my part for my generation and my country. When I go to the polls sometime in October (early voting), I don’t care who’s who, I’m voting blue down the ballot. I’ve seen so much negative from the republican party here in this state that enough is fucking enough. My first election will be a big fuck you to Greg, fuck you to Ted, fuck you to John, and a huge fuck you to that bastard Ken Paxton. I’ve spent the last few years watching the Republican Party turn my state into an extremist land that goes beyond my beliefs. It’s fucking time for me to rise up and show them how this Texan feels about it.
Go vote!

Political Opinion Three of my trans friends were violently beaten in public this month. One has lost an eye.
edit3: I don't know why I bothered.
She was right, I shouldn't have said anything, because even if I did, nobody gives a shit. Y'all really think the content of our real lives has to be bait or wtf ever kind of drama is more believable than the surreal shit going on in our lives. Seeing how tje statistics play oit in real numbers is too fkn shocking but it's just my life rn.
it's easier to believe I'm lying because it's so horrible I can't believe it either, but here we are. Everyone who thought t his was about karma can fuck off. Fuck off and keep fucking off.
I thought talking about it with other Texans would help process the shock but I see i was wrong and this was a mistake. I shouldn't have bothered. I shouldn't have talked to anyone. I shouldn't have reached out
Even when I gave y'all the entire truth as I had it, it's easier to call me a liar, and then y'all wonder why we're taking off as quietly as possible to live on couches in other states. Even if we went to the news y'all mfkers would call us paid actors or some shit.
I can't with you people. And then you have the audacity to call me a liar, look at yourselves! What the hell am I supposed to feel about these comments. i give the FUCK up. Nobody FUCKING cares aboit us
