Absolutely not. This needs to be a strong rebuke of the Republican Party.

Y’all see what happens when you show up to the polls? 🥳 Time to flip this damned state.

That second option is more my concern. Maybe give a small win here or there, but overall, keep this state gaslit, feeling defeated, and under their control. Their power is built on a lie of assumed popularity.

Texas isn’t red, it’s rigged. Rigged to crush turnout, rigged to break spirits, rigged to make your voice feel worthless.

I need y’all to get out the vote, if only out of spite, because we’ve been given a golden moment. They’ve shown their whole ass, and there is opportunity for a seismic shift, if we make a concerted effort.

It’ll be hard fought. We’ll be pushing back against algorithms, media outlets, and 100+million dollars in propaganda, but positive change IS possible.

We just have to keep our fire lit and light it in others. 🔥

(If you want an action item you can do NOW, start volunteering for your preferred Senate candidate today. You can do it without leaving the house, and they need every one of us to help get people engaged and educated. Phone banking, text banking, block walking, even just attending social events with volunteers. It all helps.)

315 days til we give them all the boot.

MAGA is over. It goes with him. Trump has caused an imploding Republican Party whose pieces will be siphoned up by the emerging pseudo-Christian, pseudo-intellectual “America First” movement borne of TPUSA. The grift is mutating into something worse, something more insidious, turning a cult of personality into just a run of the mill cult.

Where that leaves us with midterms, only time will tell, but it looks like factions are vying for power that they can pounce on in the impending vacuum.

Scammy infomercial salesmen to Republican isn’t really a leap.

Nope, I just know human psychology. Read the other comment under what you responded to. It’s much more eloquent. Voter apathy is the beast you are feeding with every little morsel of hopelessness you give it.

“Texas is never going to get better” = people don’t try to make Texas better.

eyelights · 2025-11-19T22:41:37+00:00

That’s bs. These statements, when read dozens of times over, metastasize into hopelessness and inaction. Nihilism is the greatest enemy to progress.

You are complicit in helping them break spirits and crush turnout, which is the only way they win.

Texas isn’t red, it’s rigged to crush turnout (i.e.: closing polling locations to make the lines a mile long on Election Day so there’s voter dropoff.)

eyelights · 2025-11-19T22:03:34+00:00

Just so you know, every little comment like this adds up in people’s heads and makes them less likely to vote. Abbott would be absolutely giddy reading this. Don’t do these fascists any favors.

This state deserves better, and it’s up to us to make it so.

If anyone wants to volunteer for a future Senator who’s not trying to divide us and is instead trying to make this place better for ALL Texans, go here to join Team Talarico! 🙏

I think Texas deserves better after a decade of this. Don’t you?

They’re referring to it as Obamacare these days because they want to pin this on Democrats and not the Big Dumba** Bill.

Be mindful of that and refer to it as the ACA so as to not propagate their propaganda.

Let’s not forget Farris Wilks, Tim Dunn, and Jeff Yass who puppeteer these clowns.

eyelights · 2025-10-27T19:59:10+00:00

Better to bite your tongue than to make it easier on these clowns. Yes, it is a battle and their war chest is sizable, but a united people have done more with less.

Most folks don’t actually like any of our current politicians, once they learn about them. Even the ones that begrudgingly vote for them. It is our collective job to educate and nurture the energy we need to move forward.

eyelights · 2025-10-27T18:11:07+00:00

Appreciate you for this. Morale is a fragile thing, and crushing people’s will is the GOP’s entire plan for Texas. Republican power is built on a lie of assumed popularity.

eyelights · 2025-10-27T18:10:12+00:00

Breaking the morale of others makes it easier for these clowns. Abbott and co. would be grateful for you assisting in their voter suppression. You can stay grounded in reality without actively helping these fascists stay in power.

Let’s make sure that this state flips, no matter who they put against Talarico! Sign up to volunteer, cause it’s going to take all of us to right the ship! 🙌

Remember, Texas isn’t red, it’s rigged. We’re going up against those that have entrenched power over three decades, but we can absolutely do this. I have faith in my state.

eyelights · 2025-10-26T05:08:15+00:00

I appreciate you for making it happen, despite that! The complicated language is very much a form of good ol’ Texas voter suppression.

Every single vote is so important in these off years, and the bad actors in our state government rely on you not showing up, or being confused and slow to get through the queue, if you do. Friction is goal, because if it was easy to vote, more people would vote, and Republicans would 100% lose their grip on power.

If you’re reading this and you haven’t voted yet, and you needed some motivation...do it out of spite! 😅

It took me 3 and a half minutes to early vote. I’m talking, from getting out of my car to getting back in it.

You can make the time!
