  1. Yes, they will. The Democratic Party will probably actually gain a supermajority in the House if enough of the American people go out and vote. Because the GOP is evil, and enough people *finally* see it.

    Unless democrats go +15 they won’t get it. It likely gerrymandered to hell and they need a big lead to get it

  3. Not a damn peep about concentration camps though. All they care about is the game of politics

    “Oh my gosh everybody! If people find out what we want, then we lose power!” -The GOP

  5. Republicans losing the majority would be a win for Texas, even for the blinkered ones who vote for their own destruction.

  6. I have been reading about Texas turning purple for years but have never seen the results. Likely due to a shitload of gerrymandering.

    Same for North Carolina. I’ll believe it when I see it.

    GOP had all the power in government and did absolutely nothing to benefit the American people, and only enriched themselves

    Maybe if they actually helped their citizens , they wouldn’t be worried. I guess after only having 20 plus years in control to make things better they might not give a shit?

    When your actions are against the people you represent you deserve to get fucked.

  10. Texas likes to vote for complete wastes of humanity like Cruz and Abbott who do nothing for them; gop has nothing to worry about there.

  11. For the Texas House election, if Democrats perform +15 over 2024, I still have them coming up short at 77 R / 73 D. Or maybe 76 R / 74 D if HD 108 flips (R margin was slightly more than 15 pts in 2024).

    But depending on turnout, the margin could be more. Or the margin change could be distributed very unevenly across districts, affecting results in ways that are difficult to forecast.

    Texas Republicans will abandon democracy before they relinquish power. I whole heartedly believe they’ve captured the voting system down there. If voters actually turned out in enough numbers to overcome whatever algorithm they use to alter votes, they’ll just close precincts, stop the vote, claim fraud and cancel the election.

  13. Republicans deserve absolutely everything that happens to them this November.

    America (and Texas and several other states) gave them unchecked power and *they showed us all exactly what they want for the country.*

    They want women back in the kitchen, immigrants out of the country entirely, the poor as wage slaves, billionaires as trillionaires, impunity for pedophiles, religion in government, war and profit and corruption, the end of democracy, and a return to privilege for themselves.

  14. so much winning. When you control state government for decades it is really hard to disown your policies, though Rs try.

  15. Good thing you did redistricting and lowered your margins, dumb fucks.

    If dems manage to take it they should reverse the gerrymander not to a fair map, but to a gerrymander in favor of democrats. At this point every single state should be doing it while we simultaneously push a national gerrymandering ban. That way republicans can either vote for laws against it or they can keep losing.

    This wouldn’t have happened if they had literally anything to offer Americans.

  17. Single party rule is anathema to democracy.

    Single party rule will always replace moderates with extremists.

    Single party rule will always end in corruption, due to the refusal to prosecute party members.

    Single party rule is authoritarianism.

    Good. Too many Republican officials push policies that harm people more often than not, they’re very hateful towards any and all groups that aren’t white and christian, some of them are criminals and conspiracy nuts always riling people up and inciting violence, they have ignored the red flags of and coddled the worst Republican candidate I’ve ever seen in my life for years now, have been coddling the worst types of leaders around the world, they’re all out here protecting pedophiles and sex traffickers while potentially doing those same things, supporting this unnecessary war with Iran, among so many other things.

    I’ve never liked Republican policy but how these people show up has been fucking insane since Trump got into politics. I’ve never seen people get this crazy and/or stupid so fast.

    Change must be made so people this unhinged cannot take office again.

  19. C’mon Texans, we got this. All we need is a speed bump to stop Abbott and a trail of thc gummies to catch Dan in a box trap. Approach Paxton from the right and he’ll never see us coming. Cornyn will trip and fall in his own asshole. Remind Teddy how ugly his wife is and he’ll stay in Cancun.

  20. And if it happens, I guarantee republicans in Texas will blame every bad thing that has ever happened in that state on the new democratic majority.

  21. This is the absolute worst GOP house in the country (besides the federal chumps). Throw these wankers out.

  22. I don’t know…maybe they should try to pass some good policies that actually help us serf-class?

  23. They’ve had a state trifecta for 20 years now. Holding out hope the voters are starting to realize after 20 years of Republican control, the lack of improvement isn’t the result of Democrats

    Thy only have it because they have aggressively and repeatedly rigged the whole state voting. Texas has been purple for decades.
