As a Texan who hasn't gotten any color change be it state or leaves(cause we don't have trees that do that here in the south). This fall is looking beautiful

It's been 48 hours and I'm still in disbelief

Honestly never in my life did I think I'd see a blue Texas. Lmao and the Texas maga crowd is maaaaaaaad

Good. Hope it consumes them.

The amount of conservative videos I've seen crying about election fraud is hysterical. They simply cannot comprehend the majority of people do not actually want this lmao.
It actually really highlights some of the weird comments musk and Trump have made over the last couple years like Trump saying musk "fixes the computers" and Christians will "never have to vote again", or that odd interview with musk & his son where his son kept grabbing the mic and saying shit like, "they'll never knooooow" and that musk said if Trump didn't win he'd be in "a lot of trouble".
Everything combined with Tuesdays wild results scream that the 2024 election was rigged in Trump's favor. This needs to be investigated by the new management asap.
Edit: forgot an important piece of information! Ukraine's strikes on Russian data centers causing many to be down, meaning they had very limited power to interfere with election results. That more or less confirmed this for me

Musk is visibly shitting himself. He's deleting tweets from the midterms and he's probably been having a rolling panic attack all day at the prospect of accountability hurtling towards him like a runaway train.

Well it's a good thing he's such a public figure that it doesn't matter what he deletes, it's saved somewhere. Bro could delete his entire Twitter account today and there'd still be a record of everything he's ever said
8. u/CaptainFeather · 2026-11-05 19:47 UTC
Every single tweet he's ever made is backed up somewhere, much like his Nazi salute. The Internet never forgets.

they should turn that anger against their pedo in chief
10. u/CaptainFeather · 2026-11-05 17:00 UTC
Nah, they'd never go after one of their own.

Even though we're more purple than blue (since we still have a red governor), I feel the same way about South Carolina.
I believe that if literally any other republican had replaced Linsdey Graham, we likely wouldn't have flipped the seat.
Seems like even the entrenched reds around here didn't take kindly to Lindsey's sister taking the seat after he kicked it.

The Guardian interviewed a guy that said just that.
Voters said they felt like Graham had been selected for them, and they had seen that play before.
“I only voted Trump, honestly, because I couldn’t vote for Kamala because she was forced. We didn’t get a choice,” said Brown. “That was my issue with Darline, too. It was the same exact thing to me … They selected her. The powers that be said: ‘This is the person you guys get to vote for.’ And that’s not the way it should be.”

Honestly congrats Texas on succeeding from itself
14. u/Nebresto · 2026-11-05 17:18 UTC
Are there any videos online yet? My daily salt intake has not been fulfilled
15. u/CaptainFeather · 2026-11-05 17:58 UTC
They keep popping up on my Instagram feed. Well, stitches highlighting them anyway lol
16. u/OptimalInvestment167 · 2026-11-05 15:42 UTC
I just moved to Texas too. What great timing lmao

Rookie numbers

Same for Kansas! It hasn't voted blue since the 30s I think
19. u/Borglydoo · 2026-11-05 14:53 UTC
Oh dang. Didn't realize you were Texan too. Did you get that weird propaganda mail also? Apparently one of my friends in Austin got one of the fake transition pamphlets to rile up older people that were spread around.

I got one, but like. I'm trans, and my family is pretty supportive, so... Thanks for the free list of resources and for wasting your money I guess?
Plenty of PACs sent mail to us this year and it was just hilarious reading them, like half the shit is just "based based based" and the other half is just blatantly untrue (with bonus points that it probably contradicts some of the based shit they were claiming, so like... which is it?)
For an example, I got a mailer that claimed Talarico wanted to eliminate private health insurance (based), and literally the next bullet point was complaining that he wants to give more money to greedy private health insurance companies. Which is it, dipshits? Does he want to eliminate them, or give them money?
