If a Democrat wins a statewide election in Texas that would send shockwaves through the American political norms. It'd be the Georgia 2020 Senate elections and runoffs but on steroids. Serious Republicans know that when (not if) Texas becomes a presidential election swing state it's just about over. The Democrats could ignore Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, and Florida to focus solely on winning Texas... meanwhile a cash strapped GOP would have to fight in Texas while also spending money in all those other swing states. They haven't had to really fight for Texas since like 1980, they might not even have the ground game infrastructure to pull it out of a tail spin if Texas goes purple. The Republican party would still be around in the Senate, House, and governor's mansions, but hope for a Republican president would be over for like a decade at least... if the party doesn't crumble from such an event, with donors fleeing to found new parties.
Didn't someone have a picture of a Tesla in the wild with a bumper sticker that read something like: "I bought this before I knew Elon was a complete idiot."
Outspoken anti-Trans bigot and Nazi platformer Kellie-Jay "Posie Parker" Keen has stated just as such on multiple occasions. She's talked a lot about "we can't let them trans the children," but when you press her (hell, even when you don't) she will admit that she doesn't think anyone should be allowed to transition at any age. She's also said that anyone who has transitioned should be forced to detransition. So... she doesn't like trans people and wants to torture them... other anti-Trans activists are shocked that she attracts Nazis and really want her to go away, but she's their ideology taken to it's conclusion.
I remember watching her first interview with Tucker Carlson and thinking "oh thank god she's a black hole for charisma." She's just a void of intellect and nuance collapsing in on itself... of course Ron DeSantis likes her.
Her district is germandered at like +25 Republican... she's going no where. But also, having the Republicans do a ton of party infighting during an election year is great if you don't like them. Makes them less appealing overall to voters. Let them flight.
For anyone unfamiliar, "Science Fiction and Futurism with Isaac Arthur" is a prolific YouTube channel. He's cranked out dozens (if not hundreds) of hours about everything from building archologies on the moon, colonizing the surface of the sun, to settling what's left at the end of the universe. What that guy does is genuinely a public service and he's gotten awards for his work.
You used to have to print out a document and then scan it into another machine that would use landlines to send it to another printer so someone, somewhere else, could have the document.
I don't understand why they didn't have Trump give it... like I'm not rooting for Trump and the GOP deserves to be in chaos, but Trump would have done an infinitly better job. Like "look at me, I'm your other choice. Here's what I'm claiming to bring to the table." Instead they gave us Senator Mrs. Whomever talking weird.
Normally statements denouncing Trump from a sitting elected Republican is accompanied by a retirement announcement (fears of primary challengers, etc). Now, that's not always the case but, to my knowledge, this guy might be the first US Senator to do so.
