A rude awakening for the Lone Star state.
he latest news from Austin is that the Democrats have their agenda all lined up and ready to go. Over 1,200 bills to be rammed through, including several imposing gun control. That’s right – gun control. In Texas.
I hope they pass them all. I hope they confiscate every last gun in the state, all the way down to great-grandad’s Colt Army pistol that he used to fight the Comanche.
After that, I hope they bulldoze the Alamo as an insult to the people of Tenochtitlan. I hope they pull down every statue of Sam Houston, of Lamar, of Austin, and every other dead white male who helped establish the patriarchy. I hope they throw open the border and invite everybody from Central America in. I hope they ban eating meat, free all the beef cattle, and force every last one of you to subsist on bean sprouts.
I hope they order the Rangers to wear pink tights and rainbow tank tops, and assign them to aiding illegals crossing the Rio Grande. I hope they arrest Lyle and crucify him.
I hope they do all that for one simple reason: because you’ve got it coming.
The 2026 midterms are an oddity that will be debated for decades to come. They’re best characterized as a perfect storm election, one in which several factors – cheating, the traditional midterm flip, and Trump fatigue — combined at once to give a result completely at odds with what was expected. One of those factors, unquestionably, was the substantial number of conservative voters who sat it out, largely to “teach Donald Trump a lesson.” A lot of the voters who couldn’t be bothered were Texans.
Frivolity is the abiding sin of the American voter. They typically don’t take the process seriously. Which is extraordinary, since voting in free elections is the key element in a healthy democratic republic. It needs hard times or some compelling issue to send many voters to the polls. “Frivolous” may strike some as an odd word to use in connection with Texas, but it fits here, just as it does in the case of Kansas and Ohio and several other states.
The problem is that it’s been too long since the Democrats were last in charge, and many have forgotten what they’re actually like. And today’s Democrat is a totally different animal – nastier, crazier, and much farther to the left. What the Dems are fixated on now isn’t affordability or change, it’s vengeance – pure, brutal punishment. And there’s no state in the union that they want to punish more than Texas.
Now comes the rude awakening, the realization that you’re trapped in the Devil’s casino, tapped out and with no idea where the exit is. The left is going to do its damnedest to destroy red Texas and convert it to Massachusetts South. Can they be stopped? I would like to think so, but there’s not much evidence to be gained from the midterms.
You taught Donald Trump a lesson – largely that the United States is a nation of ingrates. Now it’s your turn. Texas was once the bulwark of conservative America. It will be a long time before that reputation is restored.
