How do you feel about Texas going blue?

My hope is that ordinary Texans, both Anglo and Latino embrace the blessings of liberty and not allow that to happen. If Texans vote socialist left they will introduce the same cancer engulfing other states as cities here and in Europe.

Broadly, many have lost their desire to preserve their heritage and culture. California and the West Coast. The Northeast. The end product of complacency will be the anarchy, chaos, loss of freedom, loss of wealth as in France, Britain and Germany.

The a shift to leftism in the midterms will begin to usher in an accelerated decline and eventually dissolution of the United States. Leftists believe there can bring about an utopia if free everything flavored with anything goes.

You will not get Brave New World. You will get Nineteen Eighty Four. It will come on gradually while we lose your liberty, wealth and hope. Leftists will begin to politically cleanse themselves as in the USSR and the French Revolution.

If you hate the USA and want to see it crash and burn, as many here want, you will get your wish. You won't save it. You will euthanize it just as the EU is doing to themselves now. There will be Barbarians at the gate quicker than you can imagine.

Socialism is good. It's your bullshit capitalism that sucks. I want the free healthcare look at Finland the happiest every year.

Capitalism just starts wars and have our troops dying in wars that are not their wars and making everything more expensive.

I wish I lived in NYC with Mamdani as my mayor that would be so awesome. Keep larping about communism but everyone sees you're a dumb dumb when gas prices keep going up.

My life under Biden and Obama was much better than my life under republican presidents like Trump and Bush.

Now go back in denial and pretendeding Trump is doing anything to benefit the US.

So when are you moving? I will hold the door for you.

Dargil Social Security and Medicare/Medicade is a form of socialism... do you not like those programs?

[Dargil]

@Alex-Snow Social security is a poor compulsory investment handled by your government. If it were invested in even 6% conservative mutual funds, you'd have millions by age 65. Instead government looted and wasted it. That's why Socialism is the equal distribution of poverty.

[shish_kebab]

That's true about social security. I posted a question about whether if it was optional, would you opt for your social security contributions going into the government funds or private funds. I think only one person had the balls to answer.

[Dargil]

@shish_kebab If Republicans passed compulsory legislation requiring me to invest ONLY the amount of withholding for SS, I would.

[shish_kebab]

You would be crazy not to, just like matching your 401k. (if you can)

I would be really surprised. The race is too close to call and Talefreako really cannot win a state wide election. Once you get out of Austin, Texas is one of the reddest states.

[Alex-Snow]

You are starting to sound like the schoolyard bully Trump calling people names. Remember when Trumpy call Rubio "Little Marco" and he called Ted Cruz "Lying Ted Cruz" Calling names is so immature.

@Alex-Snow Telarico has been a no show for 13 days. His handlers say he has the flu but there is speculation that he had a nervous breakdown.

[Pterodon]

Hey asker if socialism is so good then why has it never worked anywhere?

[Taranis_Thunor]

@Alex-Snow Calling people names is based.

Thanks for the MHO😎

I am from Texas originally and all I can say is that I need to see it happen before I believe it. Red Texans are idiots who vote in criminals at both the local and federal level and swear it's to help themselves (and it's always themselves, not others by the way) and often times it doesn't help them at all. Just let's them feel like they got to "own the libs" not enact meaningful change. I don't mind sane Republicans but those are far and few between these days.

[Pterodon]

Instead the democrats let criminals out, not prosecute or very lightly punish

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Mmm and republican ones let off pedos and rapists so that they dont "ruin their lives" from a "one time" mistake

Whats your point?

[Pterodon]

No we don’t want to abolish , prisons, police, ICE but you sure do

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Lol I am all for abolishing ICE at this point. Bunch of brown shirt thugs for a fascist leader that they are.

The rest, not so much.

And, yes, your judges definitely did as i stated. Hell, MAGA voters gave their approval for a criminal pedophile rapist to lead their cult and, unfortunately, this country.

Start cleaning your own house before you start worrying about others.

[Pterodon]

You can’t prove everything

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

🤷‍♀️

Whatever you think is what you are gonna roll with. Reality escapes you.

[blackeagle007]

I can’t see who it is you all are arguing with. I have him blocked. Who is it? And it would make history if Texas get a Dem governor. A good thing

[Anonymous]

Abbott will refuse to certify anything Dems win in Texas and say it was fraud.

[shish_kebab]

Telarico wants to abolish prisons, police and military. I guess that means he wants to get rid of socialism?

It seems like Texas is finally getting smarter if they head toward Blue.

[shish_kebab]

Do you have any examples of what "smarter" looks like?

[blackeagle007]

Texas being republican isn’t ruining their state. It’s being maga supporters. They need to see that

[Pterodon]

It’s only blue in a few cities
