(39,367 posts)Texas should be their California, and the strong trend there is blue.
Biden will win CA by 30+ points and hes fighting Trumpass to a draw in TX. The Rs dont control a single large state by anything resembling a strong majority. All of which they know of course, hence their reliance on the courts, but minority rule via clubhouse appointees is a built-in voter turnout driver for our side; wont take a messaging genius to figure that one out.
If they werent dealing with a voter base driven insane by a highly organized communications machine spewing non-stop lies and conspiracy theories, they could change their model, lay off the grievances and compete for votes on the basis of something more meaningful to people than fear and anger. But nah. Theyll be stuck with what they have for a very long time.
