Oh hey, we’re part of the same universe! Our accessories are interchangable!

As someone who lived in Texas for a decade, I was fully prepared for the US to abandon me after we voted in Greg Abbott again. Gubnatorial elections are popular vote elections not affected by Gerrymandering. We didn’t even have THAT excuse.

That being said, I always said that the rest of the US should cut off everything Oklahome going South and Texas going East as long as they offered a refugee program for those of us not batshit insane.

The only thing that would suck would be leaving behind the kiddos who dont have a say in where their crazy ass parents choose to live.

To this administration, that would be a feature not a bug.

Idk, after Tuesday, I started to get a little hopeful for the 2026 midterms. If we can keep up the same energy, we can massively slow down this fucking crazy train long enough to course correct or at the very least kick the can down the road (and hopefully use that time to install better minority protections/progressive policies)

But if we fuck up the 2026 mid terms? Oh yeah. Democracy in America is fucking DONE.

The amount of idiocy demonstrated by the adults in that article is fucking mind-boggling.

One family moved to Russia with only $50K to their name, for their family of 5, and didn’t research the public education requirements for their sons ahead of time.

It tracks that people this fucking stupid would have this level of hate for “non-traditional” relationships.

Unfortunately he is still alive. They talk about that misinformation campaign in the article.

Nah. I place 98% of the blame on Republicunts for the state of the country currently.

I place the other 2% on non-voters. You helped us get here.

Dawwww my first video game love was Zell Dincht! I thought his face tat was SO fucking hot.

My husband and I got married on Halloween and we were Rinoa and Squall for the reception.

I fuckin’ love me some FF8.

Fields of Mistria.

Saw it recc’d here on the indiegames community as a new version of Stardew Valley. I figured it would be fun as I’m a fan of cozy games, but I didn’t realize how fun it was going to be.

It’s still in early access and Ive got 100s of hours logged and I’m eagerly awaiting the next update. The characters and idle dialogue is fantastic, and it solves a lot of the things that frustrate me about SDV (as a SDV lover of course).

I thought I was embarrassed the first time he was in office, and publicly played chicken with North Korea. I didn’t think he could get more childish.

Fuck, I was so wrong.

Bruh, as someone whose pay is 100% caught up in this shutdown, I applaud the Dems.

They might be protecting the status quo atm, but as least they’re taking a stand against shit getting worse. Everyone has to start somewhere!

Honestly! I was in Texas for the Snowpocalypse and I naively thought everyone had woken up to his sniveling spineless ways.

I genuinely thought “Even if Trump wins, Texas will get Allred.”

Then November happened and I was so fucking baffled. Cruz is reportedly abhored by EVERYONE.

Ah yeah, I definitely narrowed your comment to just apply to the voting base, even though the crazy ass headline in question is being perpetuated by the grifters.

Thats mah B!

I do agree though, those who are feeding the voters are insane/unreasonable and evil. And I think they know that their base is dumb enough to accept their grifting “words of wisdom.”

I think they’re just fucking stupid.

Not uneducated people with critical thinking skills.

Just actually, really, super fucking dumb. There is no nuance to them. Everything is black and white and only happens one way. Life is straight forward, and its hell the whole time. That’s it. That’s the end.

I mean, I finally quit Hulu over this, and neither my husband or I had even watched Hulu in about a year at this point. I’d always kept the subscription going “just in case,”. I was the only one paying and neither of us has any qualms about letting it go.

I can’t believe that we’re the only ones in this bracket of users.

Well I for one opened the thread and went “Ho-lee shit.” And then I showed my husband and aggressively demanded him to admit that this is a handsome boi.

So this internet stranger approves!

I legit thought Allred was it. I donated to his campaign the second I heard he was running.

He had the political chops since he had turned a deep red district in Dallas blue for the first time ever, and held it every time he was up for re-election.

He’s a former NFL player, which I thought was going to be a big deal to the backwater Texans.

He is Black, so all the racist Texans could point at him and be like “We CAN’T be racist! We voted for a BLACK man to be our SENATOR!”

And finally, he didn’t fucking have the devastating out-of-context Beto sound bit “Hell yeah we’re taking your guns!” to plague him endlessly.

FUCK I let myself get so optimistic, and I’m still really, REALLY bitter about it.

Right? Like for fuck’s sake, he could have at LEAST pressured Merrick Garland to do his goddamned job!
