Hey y’all, I know, when facing the firehose of kakistocracy, it can be overwhelming, and can feel like we are never moving forward. So some good news!

Deeply, deeply red #Texas, the section of Texas that gave us book bans and trans fear, the beating heart of #Yeehawdist territory; Fort Worth, just lost the House seat to a Dem in a special election.

#Democrat and union leader Taylor #Rehmet won the special election Saturday to represent a solidly red district that Trump carried by 17 points in 2024. He defeated Wambsganss, a gop operative who headed up filling North Texas school boards with candidates who held Christian conservative views. Her success resulted in countrywide book bans, rewriting of curricula and a thinner line separating church and state.

Also, the pedophiles outspent the unionist by more 10 to one and still lost. 800k for the GOP, 70k for the Dem. 🥳🤘🏼💃🏻

Have you ever wondered what yeehawdism looks like? Lemme give you an example. See, Football is God in Texas. And A&M holds a special place in Texas football.

As well as the mythology of the Aggies, there is the mythology of Texas Rangers, a branch of law enforcement which...unless you’re from here, I can’t even explain the Paul Bunyan level mythology.

So when a cop shoulder checked some Black football players from South Carolina who’d just scored an 80 yard touchdown against the Aggies, everyone was outraged, but only people outside the #Yeehawdist territory expected the cop would be punished, or even named.

And yeah, the establishment closed ranks around the cop and declined to press assault charges because it would embarrass the officer.

This is just bugfuck insane, y’all. I mean, I realize I live in the very heart of #Yeehawdist territory, and well within the Gilead of the #GuardiansofPedophiles, but never in my long, storied, and interesting adventures have I ever needed an armed cop to be checking identification at the potty.

I tell you what, I’m a menopausal woman, and I will pee on your shoes if you get between me and a ceramic relief spot.

Trans women are not a thing to be feared. They’re just doing their own thing, living in their own bodies, and the republican need to check everyone for an appropriate vulva before they pee is just obscene.
