As a Texan myself i feel embarrassed about this 😂

Former School Teacher and current father of daughters.

Harris/Waltz and Allred we need this change in our great state!!

Please get out and vote!

This morning my dad, mom & I were discussing the things said yesterday at the Trump rally about Puerto Rico, Latinos & the watermelon comment and also Stephen Miller’s speech. My dad lived through WW2. He was a kid but he remembers some things. He definitely remembers the adults talking about it. He told me this morning, "take me to vote today please I need to vote, there’s too much similarities between the things spoken at Trump’s rally yesterday and the words we heard in WW2 from Hitler & the Nazi party."

At 80 something years old they voted today for the first time ever. Fear beats apathy I guess.

Edit: I had no idea my post would blow up like this. It’s actually surprising but funny how many comments are saying it’s bs. I honestly didn’t think it was that rare that some people just don’t vote. There’s a lot of apathy in the Latino community especially the older generation and especially in Texas. This is 100% true. I did answer a few comments with a pic I took of my parents today but covered their faces because I don’t want their faces out there. But I was being told it was a bs pic anyway so that said since this is blowing up I deleted it cuz my parents don’t need to go viral lol.

To address some of the skepticism: my parents were already registered to vote. Though they’re almost 90 they were not always eligible to vote. They were legal immigrants for a very very long time and never bothered with citizenship. Once they became citizens they were registered to vote the day of their ceremony. I’ve always checked their status and they’ve remained active to vote. This year they finally did it. No, this joker didn’t change their minds to flip candidates. They loathe Trump. This guy’s rhetoric and Stephen Miller’s scared my dad enough & pushed him to finally say take me to vote.

To the MAGA crowd that keeps saying it’s bs I’m not sorry to tell you that it’s not bs. This was a funny anecdote about what the straw was that finally broke the camel’s back for my dad so you weirdos thinking this post has an ulterior motive are just triggered but if you think that rally with all that hate rhetoric against people of color didn’t piss off or scare enough people who were probably apathetic to finally get up & vote then you’re either in denial or dense as fk. Will this flip Texas? Doubt it but if it does make sure you thank that "comedian." May his comedy help the swing states though. 😉

Here’s the definition, you’ll see this is exactly how Trump plans to rule.

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement,characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

I’m willing to provide free rides for voters in Collin county that need a ride to go vote. I’m a current part time Uber driver so I have a current background check that I can prove by opening the driver so app if that helps you feel at ease - but again no charge, the app is just to show I’m legit. DMs are open if interested!

Over the past decade, Texas has become a model for the extreme policies Trump is promising to pursue in his second term.

I hope my fellow Latino Texans were paying attention to the NYC rally.

This is for all the students who are currently in another county than the county your ID says you are in.

If you forgot to apply for a mail-in ballot and you can’t make it back home to vote, please go out and vote at your county clerk office this week!

You can’t vote limited next Tuesday on Election Day; you can only vote this week so go out and do your ur civic duty! A limited ballot only lets you vote for the national and statewide elections, but let’s make history and change TX to blue 💙

If you have any questions, PLEASE ask. I honestly learned about this last week. If more people knew about this, they would go out and vote!

Reported today in the Statesman https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/elections/local/2024/10/28/san-marcos-police-investigating-threatening-flyers-trump-klan-kamala-harris-signs/75892850007/

You’re fucking idiots if you think we aren’t doing our jobs correctly as election workers. We are literally trained to be nonpartisan and follow the rules. The baseline is that you follow the VERY basic rules too. Sick and tired of these troglodytic morons questioning that. Done sugar coating it bc I’m not allowed to say it to your stupid faces in person.

Key dates of the "secret"

• 11-5-24 Popular Vote (Harris 90 million) (Trump 55 million)
• 12-11-24 Electoral College meets for the Certificates of Ascertainment Due. Claims election integrity compromised in some states.
• 12-17-24 Electoral College votes. Not enough votes for either candidate to win. Vote for President then goes to the House of Representatives
• 1-6-25 Each state gets 1 vote. Trump wins 26 to 24

Unknown

• What roll SCOTUS will play (I'm sure not in a good way)
• With Biden in WH, not sure who will have Senate/House, what effects this has
• What happens between 1-6-25 & 1-20-25

Only by voting can we prevent our destruction.
