This defeatism doesn’t help anything. We are all aware of the challenges in Texas. But the idea that you simply don’t try because bigotry is a defining feature is wrong
She's in freakin' Texas, though. (As am I, but working VERY hard on leaving.) They have issues here with democrats, women, and anyone with brown skin. I sure hope she wins, I love her energy, but again, she's in freakin' Texas.

New: Gov. Greg Abbott and Turning Point USA are launching a partnership to create chapters of the right-wing organization on every Texas high school campus.
Abbott says Turning Point USA will expand in Texas schools
Republican officials in Oklahoma and Florida have also launched plans to expand the presence of the conservative youth organization founded by Charlie Kirk.

Please call the guy the January 6th pipe bomber.
Fox is calling him the "January 5th bomber" because he planted the bombs the night before but really because they don't want to mention 1/6 as a bad day.
