1. IMO they see an opportunity to turn Texas blue as the republicans...

have screwed up so badly in both handling the weather crisis present and on the ground and their failure to have not prepared for it years ago.

And the Castro brothers are Texans so the people hurting are their natural constituents.

2. You'd think so but you have no idea how entrenched those bigots/racists are.

3. We'll certainly see. I have a feeling people struggling to stay warm...

and get water and food for days, not to mention the many deaths, will turn some voters away from the failed republican response to this storm, just as voters turned away from trump's failed response to covid.

Remember, Beto O'Rourke barely loss to Cruise in 2018 so it doesn't take massive numbers of voters to switch some races blue.

4. Georgia on my mind.

5. You are correct.

6. This Texas Dem who has been working for years to make a change will not hold her breath.

The so called "Christians" and oil rich GOPQ donors are still in charge. Unless we get someone/something who will make gerrymandering and voting restrictions go away nothing will change. I will check back in a year and hope I am wrong

11. A huge potential issue is that this nightmare scares off millions of liberals who would potentially

have moved to Texas, OR they leave the state if they live there now.

14. Several huge companies moving here

I do not see them changing their plans. However, I do see them, hopefully, getting some promises of change enacted before completing their moves.

16. They would want a promise of a stable energy grid I would think.

7. Bad local government

who do more for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and their donors than for their citizens. It's their MO. Vote them out.

9. We need a full-court press of Democrats broadcasting this anywhere and everywhere forever.

We can’t just assume everybody knows it and will remember it. Pushing the message is where Democrats need to be stronger.

I have donated twice to Alexandria Ocasio Cortez‘s Texas relief fund, now I will go and donate to the Castro brothers. Every dollar adds more fuel to the Democratic Texas engine.

10. Totally agree about pushing the message.

[marlakay]

12. I read a few articles that Beto

Is running for gov in 2022.
