Is Californication or New Yorkification of Texas inevitable?

[Sasquatch]

One of the things I took away at about the 4 minute mark - he's going over who supports Robert O'Rourke for governor - which included the University of Texas, and the US Army... what the **** are government bodies doing endorsing candidates or contributing to campaigns?

Do y'all agree with John Williams' view that it is inevitable that Texas goes blue and becomes NYC 2.0 or California? Can we stop it?

IMO, people need to get their head out of their ass and make CA and NY like TX.

The State of Texas contributed $25,755 to Beto's campaign? The US Army $27,257? The federal government $27,409? What the actual ****?

 

[baboon]

I hope not in my lifetime! I never thought FJB would get in either, so that being said I'm happy being out away from the big cities!

 

[Sasquatch]

University of Texas donated $104,339 to Beto's campaign? Really? They're spending tuition monies on political contributions? How many kids full tuition went to this scumbag's political coffers?

You ever notice that when you give to a charity that they tend to give to other charities. That's why I stopped giving.

If Texas keeps electing RINOs like Abbott and Cornyn, it'll go blue without the Dems having to sweat....

 

[wakal]

Democrats are already running Texas. Abbott is a leftist piece of mule vomit, his "best buddy" Dade is a radical far-left Democrat, and Cornyn is a little leftist swamp critter. Not to mention, one of tubby open-borders "my turn" Jebbie Bush's little swine boys with both trotters in the trough right up at the top of the leftist heap who style themselves our masters.

And all of them swear that they are "Republicans."

Which carries me along to the usual theory that we have the Evil Party and the Stupid party. Two sides of the same corrupt coin, with one side wanting you in the gas chambers right now and the other thinking...well, maybe later.

I think we all have to get more active in local elections (school boards, regional party chairs), and fight the indoctrination of the children via the public education system. So, possible, but very difficult.

No, the State of Texas did not donate to Beto; those are donations by individuals who are affiliated as employees of a Texas state agency and as reported on their FEC filing for those individual contributions.

Does the same go with the UT and UC donations? Not the actual institutions but employees of?
If not how is that "legal" from state universities?

Shut the border down and deport democrats

Shut the border down and deport democrats

To get that done, we'll have to #TEXIT first...

 

[GasGuzzler]

Ask the people in Washington State, Oregon, Idaho, and Colorado if it can happen here.

Yes.

I’ve held out as long as I can in this. Give me a reason why I should accept as credible an internet shill/get-rich-quick schemer.

Not sure I'd call him a "get rich quick" schemer or shill - he's a real estate investor that puts out info on crafting real estate deals - specifically for investment purposes (like @pronstar did/does) - though he's gotten more political since the Brandon administration took over. He's not a Sniffy Joe fan at all and wound up leaving Cali because of the ever-worsening regulatory schemes and social policies and politics.

His warning about Texas is based on his research showing companies fleeing California and New York and a lot resettling in Texas, which he concludes will ultimately turn Texas blue.

you need to look at the TX education center err reprogramming centers.

They are churning out Liberals faster than they are moving in from liberal states. And not all people fleeing lib states are leftist.

McConaughey dropped out and hopefully we don't have enough stupid people to vote for a democrat here. Me, I'm voting for West.
