Thoughts- georgia, texas, florida and the future

I'm heartbroken. I've sent money to Val and Tracy and Beto .

I do know that Dems have posted some good wins. However, we must recognize that the Civil War confederacy remains and is strong. Georgia, Texas, Florida all have many residents from other states. But, they remain blood red. The best we can do is continue to fight for these states, but realize that the MAGAts prefer the lies, corruption, and hate. The republican voters are no longer motivated by 'conservative economic principle', No. No. No.

Quite simply they prefer to 'own the libs' Every opportunity to make up a meme, spread fake news, insult good people is what they choose...over and over....and over.

I expect these states and other will be hellholes for women and people of color. The Christian-Nazi brigade will take over public schools, cut human services and threaten anyone who stands against them. I know my words are strong. I've seen this crap rolling at us since Ronnie Raygun. Russia is winning, democracy is failing. If you live in a solid Red State, get out. The Fascist Republicans hate democracy and civil rights. They actually do want to kill democrats. And they will. So get the heck out of these states. I don't see any good happening there over the next 25 years.

Yes, this is hard to say. But, don't wait until they make democrats wear yellow stars......it can happen here. Yes, it can. Wake Up. Flee to a democrat state now. Your family needs to be safe.

But why concede in GA when we are close. It's better to stay and flip them blue. TX and FL might be too hard though. But GA is close.

They didn't show up for our candidates. Crist and Demings, both phenomenal and capable candiates, got less votes than any other statewide Democrat in the last 3 election cycles. They significantly underperformed in the Democratic strongholds.

The Democratic strongholds had such a pathetically low turnout and did not show up to vote for our candidates. That is the part I'm most heartbroken about.

Same problem with these laid back people. They can't be bothered to vote. Some don't think it makes a difference. Just sad

The white population is actually decreasing as a %age.

Sen Warnock, who is Black won his Senate seat two years ago over a white opponent. He needed a lot of white votes to accomplish that.

Georgia is the only state where both major party candidate for the senate are Black.

Georgia’s other senator is Jewish. I think Georgia will be a Democratic state in the near future,

Wisconsin retains Ron Johnson The Imbecile, as I see the current votes. Barnes is 50,000 votes behind.

I return you now to the Florida, Texas, Georgia topic.
