I felt betrayed beyond words that Texans would fall for his bs. Over the years since, I found that for all the rw idiots I’d interact with, there are more Texans who are reasonable people that want to be included in the conversation of how government can be more reflective of and responsive to their views and needs.

Beto helped prove you can’t discount Texas anymore, and it gives me hope for other southern states that views can change for the better.

Are some mighty fine numbers up there.

Go Texas, Go!!!
