5. This gives me hope

After Beto’s 2018 run, we learned that most native Texans voted for Beto, while the people who voted for Ted Cruz were transplants from other states. That’s part of why Conservatives hit the airwaves telling people that Texas is an alt-right utopia, to lure more people in like them.

The worst Republican politicians in Texas aren’t even from Texas. Dan Patrick, Ken Paxton, Ted Cruz, Chip Roy, Dan Patrick…none are Texas natives. Instead, they’ve all moved here from other states, got elected, and have spent two decades running our state into the ground.

That’s why Republicans don’t represent Texans. They don’t represent my family, my friends, my neighbors, or anyone I know. That’s why most native Texans voted for Beto. Our state isn’t lost.
