I’ll admit it, we showed up at the victory party around 10pm after final results announced, we walked in all Bradley Cooper style at the end of American Hustle, I kinda blew open the front door and screamed “yeaaaaaah!!! We beat those nasty haters!!!”
everyone looked at us like who are these weirdos, except the school board candidates, the current lib on the board and the president of the progressive pac, all of whom smiled with glee.
The president then said, “everyone, this is troph and her wife, they raised the money for the last surge, she’s kind of a big deal.”
it was exactly as I dreamed it in my head!
not sure how long we are going to be here but we aren’t fucking around. Western Travis county has enough progressives to make a difference. I can’t do it all, I’ve done my penance phone banking and canvassing and so I’m not doing that but we can raise some fucking bank to beat the fascists out here. And if we are going to flee, we are going to do so trying all the way until the end.
