The biggest losers will be the retail strip owners losing 25% of their tenancy by year end. 

Developers and large corporations landlords hold a lot of power with Texas republicans. But the top of their conservatard hierarchy will always be feigned religious outrage. Helping the poor need not apply.

Finally.  Texas can bet back to what it does best: imprisoning black and brown people at absurdly disproportionate and high rates for a harmless activity that white people engage in at a similar rate, but somehow, are only 25% as likely to be arrested for.  Because at the end of the day, the important thing is that those folks be kept as a perpetual near-slave class (can't get a good job with a conviction) and this is SUPER-IMPORTANT: they can't mess up Texas with their votes anymore.

Voting is only for white folks.  Jim Crow out front shoulda told ya.  And once we renamed Jim Crow ("the War on Drugs" rebranding was quite successful), it took right off again.

Alcohol industry
 
but its only a matter of time before weed passes alcohol in usage. Likely before 2050

I may be wrong, but the alcohol industry is poised to buy/distribute THC infused drink manufacturers the same way they did microbrewers. They see it as an opportunity.

It doesn't take much to interpret that actions by Abbott and Goeb are solely about keeping the GOP in power in the face of changing demographics. Even the school voucher program might harm some of their constituency, there is an element to have kids educated in private schools that can be openly hostile to actual history and liberal ideas.

The top priority is always about keeping Democrat stronghold (youth, non-white, and big city) votes as suppressed as possible.

If the Democrats can’t win with this setup, they are fundamentally broken and we need a different opposition party.

There's a false narrative that there's a Texas Democratic Party. Obviously they exist but do they do anything but work to keep themselves in the minority?  If they were secretly run by a GOP operative, would the outcome be any worse?

I'm sure the usual suspects will come out a month or so before the next statewide election saying it's only another couple of cycles before demographics takeover and TX turns blue.  Same old shit they've been saying for 20+ years.

Called my state representative Jolanda Jones this morning to try and get an explanation why a Democrat is voting in lock step with Dan Patrick on the full THC ban and am appalled to report according to whoever answered on her staff said l it’s because she was “confused” about the amendment that made SB 3 a full ban… what in the ever loving fuck are our dumb ass bitch state representatives doing voting blind on something as big as a full ban of a whole industry???

The funny thing is that you aren’t wrong. It’s not conscious, but they’ve institutionalized the process of losing. It’s what they are organized to do, like the Washington Generals.

Imagine being such a fucking dork that not only did your high school and college peers refuse to invite you to parties, share their joints, or sleep with you, but half a century later you are still so obsessed with this rejection that you work tirelessly to ban porn and weed. I can only imagine sex not for the purposes of procreation is next.

Im not a fan of thc products and you know my solution that works 100% of the time: I don’t use them. Ridiculous to ban the industry.

the trouble with Texas is that it’s full of Texans.

Colorado is making about 20 million a month in weed taxes. Texas has about 5x the population. Could help with reducing property taxes or funding schools…..but nah. We will just keep funding Colorado’s schools with our weed tourism. They have a fund that uses the excise tax money to renovate old schools or build new ones.

Know it's probably going to just find its way into the round file but just sent a message to the Governor's office urging him to Veto SB3 and send it back to the Lege to come up with some regulations rather than full ban on THC. Think I made some decent points that this is just handing an 8 billion dollar industry to the Cartel, showing contempt for small businesses by shutting them down with the stroke of a pen eliminating 50,000 jobs, and is going to push thousands of Texans back into the hands of opioids and other dangerous prescription drugs. Likely spitting in the wind but had to at least try...

I sent an email to Ted Cruz once. I was immediately added to so many far right email lists that the block button wouldn’t really work. Various mutations of email addresses sending propaganda 10x per day. Eventually abandoned the email account. So, have fun with that.

Well if using the contact page on an official state website like the Office of the Govenor gets me put on a ton of spam lists think I may get to lawyer up because that doesn't sound very legal...

We had a fund for schools as well once - the lottery.  At least that is how it was sold to voters 35+ years ago.

Not alone, but they give our native shitheels a big assist. The portion of the folks we take in fleeing pronouns and masks heavily outweighs the normie portion. 
 

Also, my state rep is from upstate New York.

Having met almost every local GOP activist in Montgomery County, I learned first-hand that  way too many Trumpkins hail from other states, and just couldn’t wait to get here and fuck shit up.

Yet another example of what lefties don’t see because they don’t make a point to understand Texas Republicans:

Even the politically active R’s are sick of this shit and are begging  Democrats to be competitive and giving strategic pointers. 

“Their insanity may turn Texas blue after all.  All Democrats have to do is use Brian Harrison’s rhetoric against the R’s and talk about what people really want…property tax relief, public safety & safe schools & roads. And get rid of vouchers.”

For every Republican voter that sits out an election or even votes blue, there are enough transplant assholes to make up for them.  The crazier those fuckers get, the bigger the margin of victory.

Texas Democrats, as a political party, are retarded losers and their incompetence and hubris is how we got here. 
No offense to you, but I’d rather be a part of an opposition with skin in the game, and calling 30 years of losing and self-inflicted damage a “Republican problem”  tells me you don’t have any.

Cool. I think how we got here is that a bunch of “libertarians” voted for shitty republicans for several decades and now blame the Dems for not catering to them while they supported people like W. And then they post about it on every single topic.

Yeah, the social conservatism that is so "aTexan" sort of crept into a more traditional conservatism aided and accelerated by fuckstick carpetbaggers until it's all social/culture lunacy all the time.

However, those Texans, native or otherwise, that haven't come to their goddam senses yet are now fully complicit and blameworthy.

Posted (edited)

Exit polling in the last Senate race concluded a majority of native Texans voted for Beto. The last presidential election showed rural Hispanics shifted their support to turnip in numbers that could mean the majority of native Texans voted R. I haven’t seen, and not for lack of trying, a report definitively saying so, one way or another.

But, I too am represented in Washington by a carpetbagging coprophagist. Paxton and goeb are both carpetbagging grifters. While Abbott is believed to be  born in Wichita Falls, many people are saying his mother actually pushed him out in Oklahoma, but sucked enough ass in Wichita Falls to get his birthplace changed,

Wait- I’m a libertarian now? That’s rich. New here?

Whether it’s 2000 when I was at the TDP convention in Ft Worth knowing that the ticket was toast front top to bottom and watching them congratulate themselves for “keeping their powder dry” for the 2002 “dream ticket,” or physically ejecting out of state Clinton ringers from my precinct caucus in 2008, or seeing how they abandoned Chris Bell in a year when Perry was beatable, or later promoted Lupe Valdez as a viable candidate, or now, watching these losers work to avoid contested primaries and seeing how they discourage good candidates from running, I know what I’m talking about and come by my contempt honestly.
 

Republicans did not win Texas. Democrats lost it, period.
