Texas… where the governor can go to a gun convention days after children are massacred and win re-election in a landslide… ‘Murica… ?
YourmomusesTinder
Texas GOP "I voted for the man that will protect our children..." Soooo Beto? Texans "No way!"
Aldamas
We need some people from overwhelmingly Dem states to move to the red parts of Texas. Unless it doesn't work that way but im not that bright

There's less democrats in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, which is sadly the majority of Texas counties

Would be a shame if he were a victim of a driveby...maybe he could be a martyr for gun control!

Thank you, @op!

I’m watching live right now. It’s fucking close. https://www.politico.com/2022-election/results/texas/

Nope
VibratingNipples
42% of the votes have been counted. so maybe

Close, but not horseshoes.
Never heard that saying before, care to explain it?

FlaccidHamster
Shorter way of saying close only matters in horseshoes and hand grenades. even if beto is close doesn't matter if he doesn't win.
well..... at least my state won the democrat senate seat for Illinois at 60%
ninjagingeraffe06
Living in TX, from IL. I’m moving back in January. Lots of reasons, but having a uterus is a big one.
61% now, still to early
Alavar
Illinois staying Blue. From top down.
benji182
Fuck yeah we are! Keeping Tammy and JB and now we’re adding Budzinski! Vote blue every state every time!
But there some good news, AZ appear to be flipping blue in the lead for sen and gov

Thank the sweet baby jesus, they had some batshit crazy people running. Lake is a joke.

Hey um so I feel like a moron asking but where in earth is this from?

Thank you so much!

Sadly, Abbot jumped right back into that chair and pushed the other person off. TX once again voted against its best interests.
treissuncia
Oops.
Basically.
TheFastpaws
Sadly your state is dumb as fuck.
Mazena
It looks like there's some dark times ahead for the US and it will ripple to the global politics as well. Thanks boomers.

Dark times ahead? These times are now and have been for years now. Scary shit happening down there in places.

I've been told that Bucees and Whataburger are serious business
TheFeralDog
Nope, Whataburger got bought out by some Chicago based company. But HEB and Buc-ee's are kings!
IDriveAMinivan
Buc-ee’s founded is a a big Abbott supporter.
BonusDad
Yes. Fuck Buc-ee's.
MidnightTacoTruck
It's a cult!
Whataburger needs to bring back my goddamn jalapeno cheddar biscuits!
WhataburgerWithADrPepper
And the Monterey melt!
SonicTheBedhog
HEB is one of the best things about TX.

Truth! I visit my sister in San Antonio. HEB is superior
IntensiveCareBear
I used to work there and it really is great. So rare to see places where people have regularly worked for 20+ years and are so nice
xj4low
I don't understand the people that wear the bukees merch. It's an oversized gas station. They aren't paying you to advertise for them.
Merch isn't why I go. Clean bathrooms and food is why I go
The coffee is good too
Yea but their parking is always a nightmare. I'm open to rest stops and state info centers at state lines.
Never had an issue parking, getting an open pump I have had problems with
Anytime i've been in one, it feels like mixture of Walmart and a county fair. For parking, trying to find a space that looks like the car (1
PineappleLoopsBroether
Waterburger is very plain. It’s alright, but I don’t get any excitement from it….. better than 5 guys, not as good as shake shack or inNout.
nicky512
If you’ve never had WB drunk at 2:45 am, the place is filled with other drunks, and the fries are hot, your opinion doesn’t count. /1
The club doesn’t move to those other places, it moves to WB, they give you a bag, hoping you’ll leave, but you don’t. Everyone is happy. /2
Hahaha fair
InappropriateGifGuy
Hehe
I have to agree. The only thing it has going for it are the absolute Texas sized portions. Otherwise it's pretty meh
EstavenShepard
Unfortunately the bastard won.

It looks like they’ve already called it for Abbott. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/11/08/us/elections/results-texas.html
CruisingThruLife
Not looking good… Red wave coming your way.
It’s not a wave if it’s been red unfortunately. Red tide more like it.
Red wave for the country.
MasterPrime
Polls are heavily skewed to the right. Record gen z/millenial voter turnout is not good for your red wave theory.
Blacktusk
So are congressional districts and state houses. Lotta assholes splashing around in little red bathtubs pretending the country loves them.
CaptainKipup
Mate, that image made me cackle. This proud boy with his rubber ducky splishing around in happy ignorance.
thespaceneedle
So much for Texas turning blue…ugh
maincarrot
Over my rattlesnake and alligator boots, ya goddam grits lickin booty swaggering long hair HIPPY!
I got all excited when Beto O’Rourke was ahead. Premature excitement unfortunately.
LastChans
Wait 'til winter /s (sorry, can't help it)
undercoverpupper
Winter is coming
narniasreal
There was no chance. Most Texans are morons.
Baja2276
To be fair, most human beings are morons.
Still, the percentage of morons is especially high in Texas
sfqfskwqfd8
Hispanics voting red in recorded numbers. Dems are fucked.
whysomuchdoghair
Yeah. The repubs starting shouting "the economy" and truth is the working class has to think they believe them.
Dems aren’t fucked. Women are fucked. LGBTQ kids are fucked. Poor and brown folks are fucked. Civil rights are fucked.
spaceisnotthathard
We are all fucked.
Ericcantona7
Exactly. Dems are fucked.
This is bigger than Dems/tribes/etc
yes obviously. I was making a smartass response since he obviously meant dems are fucked as in politically, but you had to be weird about it
FightinTXAg
I can’t believe this state is re-electing all 3 of the horrible douchebags, wheels, paxton, and patrick.
Papo709624
In our house he's known as "Rolling Blackouts"
Haha. I like it.
All despite Roe, Uvalde, hunting trans kids, etc.,If all that wasn’t enough, nothing ever will.I don’t ever want to hear about a blue TX
TA2019
Apparently it's true that economy trumps all for these elections. Sad as hell
SocoFox
My family and I tried.
All you can do, really.
doodlydoofus
It was looking good for a little while. But I guess Texans like having Governors who'll let them die.
redpandabanana
I think a lot of people left Texas cause of their shit. That was their plan imo
Yep. So many people left the "crime ridden blue states" and they went to TX. TBF housing is very cheap there, considering. But yeah
It’s not done yet, 40% of votes counted so far and still close. https://www.politico.com/2022-election/results/texas/
8 points is not close…
Was 5 but still, with only half the votes counted 8 isnt far either
yes it is
And Texans also like kids getting butchered in schools, hunting down trans kids, and denying women’s bodily autonomy
We'll be blue! When we freeze to death during the next freak snowstorm.
It’s so sad. Our family lives in TX. Several of them want to move to our blue state with us.
jasonboison
lordnequam
Look, after the first one, they stop being "freak" snowstorms and just start becoming the Dying Times or something.
For real. How many "once in a century" events do I have to go through?
