Democrat Gina Hinojosa pulled off a stunning upset in the Texas governor’s race Tuesday, after three-term Gov. Greg Abbott ® conceded the race.
As a liberal in Texas, FUUUUUUUCK YEAH.
As a left-wing Okie, I’m proud of y’all.
I’m sorry for yall
The fact that it’s a quarter to 11 and the AP only just called the race for Mazzei gives me some hope for '28 and '30 and maybe even '32. Every county in Oklahoma voted for Trump in '24. This was a state Trump won by 34 points.
Maybe the turd receptacles who keep voting to keep this place a total shit hole will mostly be dead in 10 years, and those of us who care about bettering the places where we live instead of abandoning them can actually get some work done.
Congratulations on a job very well done! Incredible.
If I had a nickel for every liberal Texan I’ve seen or known for a Fluttershy pfp. I would have like 2 dollars.
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY OF YOU?!
There are dozens of us. Dozens.
And we just want to hug you and chat over tea.
I would absolutely fucking be down for tea time with flutterbutt. BUT ONLY IF I GET TO PET ANGEL RABBIT. I love me sum buns.
Assuming the little asshole doesn’t bite you, go for it.
Fuck yeah indeed. Well done.
Is that sarcasm? Could we not get a progressive?
I’ll take what we can get. It’s been 32 years since a Democrat had a shot in this state.
Anything to the left of Benito Mussolini is progressive in Texas.
Are you serious? Is this your first Texas election?
Wow, didn’t imagine Texas would get rid of Abbott too - incredible.
I’m waiting to see Dan Patrick and the rest admit defeat as well. The fact that he called it without a fight is insane
You expect him to stand up and fight like a man?
You know people fucking hate Abbott when a sexist and ableist joke gets up voted here
If Abbott wasn’t an ableist piece of shit himself I’d get mad about it but traitors get what they deserve.
He hasn’t stood to fight anything since removing the torte law he used to make his money and which put him in that chair in the first place
The fact that he called it without a fight is insane
I’m guessing that means the margins are huge and undeniable.
As of about 30 minutes ago she had a 1.2M vote lead and in 4 major cities she held a 40-60 point lead.
Even though I hate Greg Abbott and everything he stands for, the dude very obviously hates Donald Trump and MAGA, and genuinely relishes the rule of law (even though he manipulates it to benefit his donors). I think Abbott conceded so early to send a message to other Replicans who may be considering “election fraud” shenanigans. I think he hates that shit.
I’m relieved he conceded. That’s as much credit as he deserves.
I was unbelievably relieved, but also totally surprised, because he conceded well before the race was even called
Didn’t even realize it was in the cards. What a pleasant surprise.
Trump: vote like I’m on the ballot
Voters: ok
Brilliant
I read that in Bobby’s voice.
Lol that the best part!
Shout out to various mom groups that organized, canvassed and door knocked for Gina, all in hopes of saving the Texas public education from the christo-fascist legislators who have been gutting the funding and changing the curriculum to indoctrinate the kids with their religious believes.
I think this changes everything.
Texas has been a non-voting State for decades. This shows what is possible, and that scares Republicans.
Good. I hope they’re terrified.
Texas has never been that red. The GOP first took over the state legislature in 2003 riding Bush’s 9/11 bump.
And the first thing they did was a mid-decade gerrymander, and the Dems tried fleeing the state to prevent quorum. Sound familiar?
And it was way worse than what they did last year. Between the 2002 and 2004 elections, Texas’s US House delegation went from majority Democrat to 2/3 Republican with about the same number of voters for either party.
Then they started rolling out voter suppression schemes and catering to out-of-state Republicans. They imported a conservative base.
Throwing off both Abbott and Paxton feels like finally getting the test results and finding out your gonorrhea has cleared.
Dan Patrick, Bo French… and by wide FUCK YOU margins.
I didn’t realize the scope of what you were saying when you first posted, but I do now.
It wasn’t just the governorship or the US Senate, the Dems swept the state and even gained control of the Texas supreme court and state house. Rs got some wins in the US House and state senate – and all the rest of the races turned blue.
Incredible accomplishment against overwhelming odds and cheats, and it’s a great win for a great state. Really, really happy for Texans today!
Now we need the next election cycle to oust Cruz
he’s not up until 2030 afaik
I hearby dub thee, cured of gonorrhea
A million thanks. My Texas feels better already!
I could fucking cry.
I’m so proud of Texas.
Gonna go down there and shoot with my cousins. Hell fuckin yeah!
What the… oh. WITH. Gotcha.
I assumed ejaculate party
Holy shit not only did she win, he actually conceded. Didn’t keep bitching forever.
Holy shit, they finally got rid of Abbott!
It’s a bright day in Texas!
So glad Greg Abbott is gone.
Bye bye! Please let the door hitcha ass on the way out!
“Hey
CordellTexas! Why don’t you push him in? You can always say it was me.”
We got Blexas! Let’s fucking gooooooo!
I kept saying that there will be flips that nobody was expecting, and this is one of them.
Texas has been edging us over its flirtation with democrats. I never expected the truck to hit the pole either
Eat shit hot wheels
President Trump has this to say about Abbott a few minutes ago:
If Greg Abbott, the Governor of Texas, hadn’t become a RINO in the last six months of his Political Life, he wouldn’t have lost. He went back to his original formula, and it wasn’t pretty! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump is also looking at a career change:
I’m going to become a Political Pundit, both good and bad, on the reasons these Candidates won and lost! President DONALD J. TRUMP
This increases the chances that he will shit himself and die on live TV
I would enjoy seeing Trump yell at a reporter on live TV before he starts clutching and looking around wildly.
Why does he sign his tweets?
