14. a trade war with Mexico will straight fuck up the Texas economy on nearly all fronts

And I doubt people are too keen to fuck up beautiful Texas park lands with a stupid, pointless wall.

And yet somehow the state votes Republican. I don't get it.

I'm convinced that, especially with the changing demographics, Texas will turn blue if we get out the vote--look at how the results came in for Central and Southern Texas...I think if all the non-white/non-Southern Baptist/fundamentalist Xtian voters actually got out and voted, it would have happened already. I think getting a strong enough voter turnout would overcome even the ridiculous gerrymandering...

We turn TX blue, that's pretty much it for Republicans as far as national elections are concerned.
