I suspect there are many who share this voter’s sentiment.

One can only hope that there are more like him than those that will vote republican regardless of who it is.

@evr1.bsky.social · May 27

Then he should have voted for a Democrat.

David Bailey · May 27

Let's hope so! I'm also seeing folks cross-post fascist dicks like Dan McLaughlin explain that Talarico is akshully worse than Paxton, for reasons they seem unable to fully articulate. I suspect it mostly has to do with an inability to admit that they're wrong.

@gpyr56.bsky.social · May 27

Apparently not enough

bunnyjenkins.bsky.social · May 27

Well this guy probably should have been more upset about the state taking over local control of elections. Now all of a sudden they mad.

@pnellesen.bsky.social · May 27

We can hope so, Mr. Takei.

@saltmarch.bsky.social · May 27

Lets hope so

Joe Castrellón · May 27

Too bad he'll now vote for Paxton in the general because he can't bring himself to ever vote for a Democratic party member.

@darefugee.bsky.social · May 27

I suspect not enough. And I further suspect Paxton will be welcomed by the Senate (R) caucus with open arms.

Rodger Sellers · May 27

Let's just hope the republicans continue with this fawning, sycophantic behavior towards the orange sociopath. It only helps with the need to flip both Houses in the coming midterm elections. And THEN? Trump's impeachment is priority # 1.

Middlerage · May 27

Trump is NO MAN! 🤡

@mountaingirl254.bsky.social · May 27

I want to believe that

Dark-Chocolate · May 27

Someone should now ask him who he will vote for in the General.

The Locutioner 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️,🚫🍊🦧, 🚫👑 · May 27

He will vote for Paxton anyway I promise you that.

Beng · May 30

See here for survey statistics of Republican voters in Texas that may give a clue as to how many share that voter's sentiment texaspolitics.utexas.edu/blog/senate-...

Greg Gabrielse · May 27

I would hope that at least 5 percentage points of the GOP feels that way. Lop that off of their 2024 margins, and see their majority go poof.

Luke · May 27

Look at that top MAGA candidate on the right. It’s all about knee benders and corruption enablers👇🏼

Salty Mom · May 27

We need to hope so, but work knowing many will change their minds at the last minute. A lot of them just don’t want to be publicly known as jerks.

twocvbloke · May 27

Tactical voting 101...

kandlin · May 28

Not nearly enough since Paxton got over 60% of the vote in a district that heavily leans Republican.

AKA "No Kings."

Jill · May 27

I’m in Indiana and I want to be able to track my vote

Amy D · May 27

Well shit.

Greg Radwanskï 🇨🇦 · May 27

Will there be enough to swing it?

Bob Van Brabant · May 27

It's two men, Netanyahu and Putin and fox "news" has been advocating for this for decades

Lori Snart ☮️🇺🇦🌻 · May 27

But will they hold their nose and vote for Paxton anyway? 🤔

Veteran Voter · May 28

Well, he knows what to do. But in Texas, he won’t.

Grandma Barbara 🔵 · May 27

Yes!

Millie · May 27

But will this guy vote for Talarico, or does he stay home on Election Day?

🗽 · May 31

Did they think fascism meant control of the party by MORE than one man?

Gavin Blair · May 27

🤞

To be totally fair, there are many, many men behind the curtain of the Trump regime. Trump is the messianic figurehead needed for cult-like devotion; however, I no longer believe that Trump is in control of the GOP—in my opinion, he's too far gone now. There's someone else at the helm who is using

Truth Dog · May 27

The Republican Party is dead. There is only Trump.

Cris · May 27

The definition of a dictator.

@invinaveritas.bsky.social · May 27

Doesn't matter what they're sick of because they will never, ever even consider voting anything but R. Never. For any reason, at any time.

Atom Corolla · May 27

There aren't. Tribalism is the most powerful force in the galaxy. Except for love.

toweather · May 27

Good stuff, now if we could just convince the idiots that bought the phones.

fumbler00ski · May 27

This guy has over 5 months to discover or invent a reason to justify voting for Paxton. I’m 100% confident he will.

Transplanted Illinoisan · May 27

The Republicans party has ALLOWED themselves to be controlled by 1 man. They could say “no” to him at anytime, but CHOOSE not to.

John DeFriece · May 27

The more Trump picks win in primaries, the less chance the GOP to win in the general election.
