Yeah the corruption and rape and pedophilia and killing US citizens in the streets none of that moved the needle But the weed though

Texas turn blue because millions of people from California moved to Texas and all of the anchor babies already in Texas having more children than Americans.

maybe not entirely but it was definitely set in stone after that point.

In some ways this is correct, did you see the penalties they were wanting to impose?

Weed, abortion, insane property taxes/cost of housing, Sharia Law, Data Centers, the list goes on. Republicans failed at all of these because THEIR money is more important than taking care of OUR citizens. Texans just want to be free of government over reach and fat cat overlords

Lol, no, it's because we're overrun by joos who pay politicians to do their bidding. Just like in every other state.

Went blue because Paxton is a PoS, Dan Patrick refuses to compromise on weed & casinos, etc

Texas ain’t really blue most of Texas senate is republican so texas may have a democrat governor but they won’t be able to pass no laws.

That definitely had a lot to do with it

Yes, that definitely mattered more to West Texas ranchers than their generational land getting seized for data centers, and being told by Abbot to go fuck themselves if they didn't like it.

It certainly was on the list of my reasons to vote blue. Not the only reason but definitely on the list of things I wanted to get reversed.

Judging from the numbers of voters, they’ve been planning this. It’s been a huge migration of liberals employed by the party, from all over the country to come and vote in the midterm elections in TX.

That was definitely part of it. I'm not a weed guy but the Lt governor and his ban did not have much support, even amongst conservatives.

It was more than that, but it certainly didn't help.

Talking about now the surplus gonna be spent. How do they think there was a surplus in the first place? People IQ be so low but be having the loftiest ideals. They were willing to wipe out hundreds of millions of tax revenue to be replaced with what?

It’s supposed be the free state. How can they ok with you walking into a starbucks with pistol hanging off your shoulder, but god forbid you take an edible for chronic pain. They’re boomers, this isn’t 1950 anymore

It was a big issue. Dan Patrick never mentioned the THC ban on the campaign trail. He knew it was a losing issue, and he denied the will of the people anyway.

Maybe but I think seeing beloved members of your community snatched up by ICE while being priced out of living will also make you more likely to turn out and vote

They took away our edibles and we took away their jobs

Definitely the biggest reason by far, I'd say, as a native Texan myself. In fact, one of my cousins literally told my uncle that he was voting blue SOLELY because of the weed ban. 💀💀💀💀

It did. The Texas GOP didn't understand that much of their base either indulges, or knows people who do and who are normal people, not like Floyd from "True Romance". It's like Texas Repubs never worked on a construction site, factory floor or warehouse before

Weed's been banned forever. 99% sure it was the porn ban that gave us the bluekakke (amongst other things)

A lot of my conservative buddies and co workers are all stoners, including me. Not pumped on it, but the indian invasion is what pisses us off the most
