They know what voting for these policies leads to.
Can't speak specifically to Texas, but in many states (Idaho and Montana are two that I've tracked)-- they're not wrong
CA transplants are more conservative (on average) than natives.
It's international immigrants and their kids that have driven the leftward shift.

Good job. You voted for fascism.

No, it means the cities don’t get to run the country. You just want to impose your will on everyone else
The beauty of our constitutional Republic, is that people can choose where they want to live, and then be governed by the rules of that area versus having oligarchs in the major metropolitan area is determine what’s best for everyone.
You complain about Kings, yet this would literally create them.
MAGA math: Finish second and become president.
The Electoral College doesn't make counting votes any faster — it just means millions don't count.

Oh look, he’s already becoming a full on socialist.
With our new majority, we must:
✅ Deliver bold cost relief
✅ Get big money out of politics
✅ Ban gerrymandering
✅ Pass universal healthcare
✅ Invest in education
✅ Create a pathway to citizenship
✅ Build millions of homes
✅ Regulate AI & data centers
✅ End forever wars

This is how you do it.
EIGHT REPUBLICANS HAVE ALREADY PLEDGED THEIR SUPPORT FOR A DEMOCRAT SPEAKER.
I cannot emphasize this enough — any Republican who votes for a Democrat Speaker in exchange for power has no interest in preserving Texas or representing your values.
This is the party of abortion on demand, open borders, higher taxes, radical gender ideology, and endless government spending. They will come for our gun rights, our Christian values, and the way of life that made Texas strong.
There is no situation where any actual Republican should even consider this. Put your war paint on. The fight for Texas starts now.

I actually agree with this.
Mass surveillance has no place in Texas.
AI-powered Flock cameras are popping up across our state, tracking the movements of everyday Texans while Big Tech billionaires profit from building a surveillance network.
I opposed these cameras throughout my campaign, and as your next Ag Commissioner, I intend to keep fighting to protect our rights, liberties, and freedoms.

I’m going to start measuring wasted liberal spending in school lunches:
This project is 350,000 school lunches.
Austin is paying a firm $1.2 million to design its firefighter entrance exam so that black, Hispanics and women score better.
The contract orders the firm to use test sections that "reduce or eliminate disparate impact" on those three groups.
If those groups still score lower, the firm says it will recommend branding and "compensatory adjustments," among other things.
Federal law bans adjusting hiring test scores by race or sex. In 2009 the Supreme Court ruled that New Haven broke civil rights law when it threw out a firefighter exam because too few black candidates passed.

Above ground rail in the US is a dying a premise, a land grab, and another way to fleece taxpayers.
Do all rail projects cost 2-3x what they budget?
In Dallas, DART Silverline cost at least 2x their budget, but hey, what's an extra billion dollars?
Also, ridership projected for year 1 was 2 million, actual ridership about 500k.

The only place this is gonna put money is in the pockets of Amazon, Uber eats, DoorDash, and then we’ll continue to see inflation fly.
NEW: A bill has been filed to deliver $1,500 checks to every Texas household, fulfilling Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa’s campaign proposal.
The funds would come from the state’s $27 Billion Rainy Day Fund to put money in Texans’ pockets by the end of next year.

Look at these people. Let’s just raise the minimum wage, and not taking to account how that’s gonna drive prices and everything else through the roof. Minimum wage was never meant to be a living wage. How about you work on easing the tax burden versus adding to everyone else’s problems? Look at states like New York and California that have ridiculously high minimum wages, and what it does to the cost of living and all other their prices in those states.
As part of the mandate given to us by the voters, we must work to put money back into the pockets of our Texas working families. That is why, for the 90th Texas Legislative Session, the first bill I filed is to raise the minimum wage in Texas to $15 an hour. I hope we can quickly move forward to address decades of chronic underpayment of Texas workers. #txlege

Also, the worst country album ever made, if you could even call a country.
I fear this question years from now: “Granddad, what did Texas Republicans focus on the session before the Democrats took over Texas?”
Me, holding back tears: “Grandchild, we honored Beyonce for her contributions to country music.”
😡 🤦♂️

So what this guy is saying actually is that he supports human trafficking and drug smuggling, including fentanyl coming across our border.
Private property rights are sacred in Texas, and Big Bend is one of our state's greatest natural treasures.
The Supreme Court has cleared the way for the Trump administration to resume construction of a wasteful border wall that threatens Texas ranchers, their private property, and their livelihoods, all while funneling billions of taxpayer dollars into the pockets of construction corporations.
I stood with the people of Brewster County before Election Day, and as your incoming Agriculture Commissioner, I intend to keep fighting to protect our land, water, and rural communities from this government overreach.
ALT Press release graphic from Texas Agriculture Commissioner-elect Clayton Tucker featuring a photograph of Big Bend's towering cliffs and the Rio Grande at sunset. Clayton Tucker's white campaign logo appears at the top, followed by a large "PRESS RELEASE" heading with a yellow underline. The statement condemns the Supreme Court's decision allowing border wall construction to resume in Big Bend, warning that the project threatens private property rights, ranching families, wildlife, and water access while directing billions in taxpayer dollars to construction corporations. Tucker pledges to work with affected landowners and communities to protect Texas land and hold those responsible accountable.

Between buses like @vonlane , and planes, no one needs a high-speed rail land grab.

Hey, @Spotify why are you blocking @bot ? I’m trying to automate finding the concerts for my top listened to artists, and then build trips around going to see them. You’re only hurting the artists that you’re trying to support. @ShaneSmithMusic @haydeneblount @TUsreymusic @49winchester @RedRocksCO @TpTroubadours @Brent_Cobb @JoshMeloyMusic
