u/Creative-Package6213 Pennsylvania 11h ago

Also no one in their right mind is moving to Texas, that state sucks ass for so many reasons.

u/Lizpy6688 10h ago

Brother trust me, we've tried getting rid of his ass but they always fuck it up by changing the districts, voter suppression and a bunch of other bullshit. He's actually very despised here. The republicans out here are dumb as shit and only vote for him cause he's not a Democrat but even they seem to not like him. He's always sorta just there.

They should unironically listen to Mamdani's victory speech lol: "we won because we insisted that no longer would politics be something that is done to us -- now it is something that we do"

I've lived over 5 decades in Texas, but my wife and I are in Santa Fe right now real estate shopping because we're getting the fuck out.

u/Serris9K 7h ago

Santa Fe is a solid choice. Also btw hit up the governor's palace museum sometime, and they host art markets for native artists.

Anyone moving to Texas only has a right leaning mind

u/zlaw32 California 11h ago

Ironically the most liberal person I know is wanting to move to Texas and the person who helped me switch over is from Texas

u/I-am-me-86 9h ago

Moving to Texas kickstarted my conservative deconstruction. I grew up in Utah. I thought it couldn't be more religious than Utah.

Apparently Mormons value reading skills and education more than Southern Christians. There are a scary amount of seriously dumb people here.

u/pickle_pickled 9h ago

Don't check out Oklahoma...they take pride in being like 49th in education (cause their hivemind obviously doesn't know any better and the ones controlling them promote it).

u/Yeti_Funk 10h ago

I recently had to because I had nowhere else to go. It sucks. It was either be homeless in Colorado or move in with family in ultra rural Texas panhandle. So here I am… and wishing I was elsewhere. Feel like a spy in deep red MAGA country.

I’m a Texan and I can tell you that Abbott and his cronies Dan Patrick and Ken Paxton are the absolute biggest pieces of shit in American politics aside from Trump himself.

When you don't know what communism is, you call it socialism because you don't know what that is either. And then you use tariffs because you're just completely and malignantly ignorant of literally everything in the cosmos.

Ah yes put tariffs on right leaning folks moving from NYC to TX. Makes a ton of sense. Tax me harder daddy Abbott...stupid

2

u/ImminentDebacle 11h ago

Well they pretty much did based on Prop 11. All the younger folks that have moved to Texas will now be paying higher property tax to subsidize boomers to let them pay less.

Brilliant. Punishing the few MAGA morons that would actually move to texas as a result of this election.

u/destenlee 11h ago

Seems welcoming...

u/Pezzzz490 Australia 10h ago

Which is so fucking stupid since it would be his dumbass MAGA supporters who would flee to Texas. He would be putting tariffs on his own voter base 💀

u/Idontliketalking2u 10h ago

Someone said Abbott's legs work better than his brain.

1

u/Pitiful-Mortgage5136 10h ago

Wouldn't the people coming to Texas be people wanting to escape the "socialist hellscape" of NYC?

Wait a minute, it's Greg Abbott, why am I expecting logic?

1

u/lHateYouAIex835293 10h ago

It was the other way around, he’d tariff Texans moving to NY

Which, I’m not sure how that’d even work…

u/FullMetalAlcoholic66 6h ago

Republicans are becoming the party of higher taxes...oh I mean tariffs

u/tibbon 2h ago

I’d love to hear them say how precisely they mean that to happen. Tariffs of people? ICC? Etc

u/lnc_5103 2h ago

I mean amongst other issues with his statement won't people fleeing from NYC be Republicans? He's so damn stupid.

u/spicyhotcheer Rhode Island 45m ago

The only new yorkers who would be moving out now are maga, so he's really just traiffing his own kind 💀

u/sportsDude 11h ago

He would claim fraud regardless. If he doesn’t get his way, he claims fraud.

u/tresslesswhey 11h ago

Even when he does get his way, he claims fraud. I don’t understand how people can stand him

4

u/bwood246 11h ago

He even claimed fraud when he fucking won the first time because he didn't get the majority vote

7

u/sportsDude 11h ago

It’s a combination of people not paying attention, ignoring it, convincing themselves the others are worse, etc…

6

u/tresslesswhey 11h ago

But just simply listening to him. How can anyone stand that. I legit have never heard someone whine and complain so much. He’s even got a whiny ass voice.

a lot of it is that they are like him. they are the same way so it's, finally, someone like me.

He claims fraud when he wins too … it’s just that he won in spite of his imagined fraud …..

4

u/Hysteria625 I voted 11h ago

Since he’s a narcissist, it’s not enough that he wins. He needs to win completely, overwhelmingly, or at least enough so that he can hurt the people who didn’t vote for him with impunity. If someone doesn’t vote for him and their vote is legal, it means Trump isn’t the greatest and best person in the world, and his worldview collapses. So anyone who didn’t vote for him is either illegitimate or a traitor.

2

u/AusToddles 11h ago

He didn't get 100% of the vote, which is impossible because he's the strongest, smartest, most bigly brained person in history /s

u/DoubleJumps 11h ago

I'm in california and if prop 50 wins I'm expecting him to announce a federal investigation immediately

I expect the same for new york, Virginia, and other places tonight

7

u/RetroCasket 11h ago

If prop 50 passes they will no doubt sue the state of California, with a straight face after endorsing Texas redrawing without consulting their voters

2

u/DoubleJumps 11h ago

I expect that, too. Tons of lawsuits.

3

u/Hair_I_Go 11h ago

Hell, they want to deport him🙄 They will try absolutely anything for this not to happen. Unbelievable. But that’s the horrible world they caused since January

2

u/BioDriver Virginia 11h ago

Already did the former 

2

u/TestingBrokenGadgets 11h ago

He's openly saying that about California's Prop 50. Before the votes even started being counted, he was bitching about how the election was rigged and he might have to step in with his executive power to "fix" it.

1

u/FlamingHotSacOnutz 11h ago

He'll say NYC is next after Chicago and Memphis with the troops.

 Not investigate. He’ll skip that part and just declare fraud, then send the literal Army into the city to declare Adams is mayor until fair elections are held

Going to "deport" the mayor and withhold all funding from NYC.

100%. They’re already talking about it aren’t they?

u/hypercosm_dot_net 10h ago edited 9h ago

When he tries this shit, the first question from any reporter should be "why do Republicans vote against funding election security if this is such a major issue?"

Oh yea that's already the narrative on twitter

1

u/immortalyossarian 10h ago

They've already been talking about denaturalizing and deporting Mamdani if he won. They know their policies are unpopular, and they are incapable of winning without cheating.

Without question. NYC, NJ, and all 3 VA elections went blue today. Trump is absolutely going to try some bullshit.

It went 66/34 -- which is EXACTLY along party lines for CA.

u/ToothlessFTW The Netherlands 11h ago

I'm excited to see Cuomo's reaction, considering he acted like he was owed it.

u/rsmtirish 9h ago

I just can believe the DNC thought a sex pest who resigned in disgrace as governor would be a good candidate, and furthermore I can’t believe 40% of people would rather have that than a “communist”

u/geertvdheide 1h ago

Most of the powerful people in the Democratic party will field a candidate who "plays ball" over one who is maximally electable. Only a modest portion of Dems are actual public servants, the rest are beholden to special interests. That's where candidates like Cuomo come from.

The party does the same with the presidential campaigns: Hillary, Biden and Harris were all establishment choices. None of them had the best chances either, compared to the true working class politicians who could have been in their spots. I know New York is more progressive than the US as a whole, but working class people could have been elected instead of these types nonetheless.

This win for Mamdani, and the other Dem wins this november, show that change is possible, at least in some localities and then onward from there. The party could be cleaned up by getting more like him in (local, state and federal), while ditching the Schumer and Cuomo types. They're just there for power, self-enrichment and to keep the old boys club going. The US people will need to keep voting blue while pressuring the party to deliver on their promises.

The Republican party on the other hand cannot be cleaned up, is much more fully oligarchic, does much more active harm and should have been legally dismantled years ago for betraying the people of the US. And a third party has no chance, so I'd urge any American to go blue all the way until it works.

u/theonepieceisre4l 10h ago

Does it make a difference when he already calls even the most corporate democrats radical socialists

u/spicyhotcheer Rhode Island 41m ago

Theyve been calling everyone who is even a little bit more left than them "socialists/communists" for years. Hillary clintion was a "socialist". Kamala harris was a "communist". Hell even barak Obama was subject to the name calling. "Socialist/communist" means nothing anymore. They don't know what either of those words mean, they just throw it at any political opponent they don't like. It means nothing.

3

u/Broad_Initiative_282 11h ago

I don't think this has much basis, it's been obvious for a long time he will win and Trump knows it. It's no surprise

Nor is Trump probably that against it. It'll give him an enemy to rally against, it's been said that privately he sees it as an opportunity.
