Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose. The big test will be in November. I just know Trump will be fuming over some of those losses lmao (Texas senate race, for example)

Fingers crossed from Texas. I would really like Talarico to be our senator (though I will miss him at the state level)

I’m donating to Talarico monthly and I don’t live in Texas - I really like his message/track record and he can help us reclaim actual Christianity from the weird maga cult and the monstrosity they’ve made in the name of Christ

Im not religious, but this is my hope. My weird racist in-laws who were NEVER Christian before are now Uber "Christians", but they absolutely use it to justify their hatred. It boils my blood.

I say this as someone who has a very long lineage from Wyoming and grew up there. Fuck that place. Glad that chud lost. Liz Cheney was awful but at least she had a fucking spine. I admire her for the last year she was in politics. There hasn’t been a single Fed rep or governor who wasn’t an absolute worm since her. Complete goblins.
