How To UnFuck Texas

Last edited Tue May 9, 2023, 03:32 PM - Edit history (1)

Since we spend so much time talking about the things that are wrong, let's spend a moment to talk about what's right.

UnFuck or #UnFuckTexas is the tagline of a new grassroots group I want to tell you about, but first, we need to talk about why Texas is fucked and the different layers of the big picture.

At the last SDEC meeting, Hinojosa laid out his 2024 plan and told the SDEC members to spread the word. They have. A lot of it is the same things we did in the last few elections without making the changes that need to happen.

There is broad consensus on what Texas needs to do to flip, but there has been a lack of willpower or know-how to get us there.

Things aren’t as dire as they feel.
The changing demographics in Texas are happening fast. Republicans know this, and the gerrymandering that was done last session was done to keep the white Republican incumbents, but they didn’t draw themselves any new districts.

Oddly different response to this by the people of the two states.

Six states are majority-minority as of July 2019: Hawaii, New Mexico, California, Texas, Nevada, and Maryland.
