Big wins for progressives in Austin, Dallas and Houston.

The Democrats are going more socialist in their primary picks.

As long as the election isn't a "blue wave", this should work to the detriment of these candidates, especially in GOP leaning districts.

I agree.

They don’t have Beto to bring them to the poles either.

It's not a secret, Texas's way of life, values, and freedom is under attack. I guess one saving grace is the dems in Texas cannot get enough money from the people here to support them so they have to get cash from outside sources.

A big thanks to this can also be given to our previous and current governor who invited large corporations to move from commie states to Texas. Without them, I believe this wouldn't even be a discussion.

Left-wing Hollywood carpetbaggers are hustling to flip Texas in favor of Joe Biden, urging people to donate money to Texas Democrats in the final stretch of the presidential campaign. “There’s no debate: If we #TurnTexasBlue, Trump is through,” they tweeted in unison.

Stars who are backing the initiative include Mark Ruffalo, Amy Schumer, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Kumail Nanjiani — none of whom lives in Texas. Even former Obama national security advisor and Netflix board member Susan Rice tweeted out support for the fundraiser.
“If we can raise another $1 million, we’ll be able reach out to more than 1.5 million newly-registered Texas voters, beat Trump, and flip a key Senate seat,” the fundraising site for Texas Democrats says.

Hollywood elites descended on Texas during the 2018 midterm elections to bolster Beto O’Rourke’s ultimately unsuccessful bid to unseat Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).

Now, they are hoping their star power will convince voters to chip in to flip the Lone Star state. Comedian Amy Schumer — a cousin of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) — urged her social media followers to donate the symbolic $38 for Texas’ 38 electoral votes.
In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue a natural justice.

What I fear the most, is this mob rule mentality. If the mob does not like hunting, I cannot hunt. If the mob does not like LIVE PD, I cannot watch it. The current crop of Democratic voters do not think twice about recognizing the rights of others. They have no problem walking all over other people's rights without blinking an eye. In fact, the current crop of Democrats do not understand the US Constitution.

This is what I fear.

I live in west Houston. I am happy to report that I have seen only two tiny little Biden signs in my area. Trump signs, Trump flags, etc. are in abundance.
Your best option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
When those fail, aim for center mass.

I fear it also but I know where we're headed and that is armed conflict. I've accepted this as the future because I know there's nothing I can do about. The left wants a fight and they're gonna get it.
