@fragil3gg: After living in California my entire life, the bluest of blue states, I was worried about moving to Texas. Texas is a place that the media pretty much taught to be terrified of. 😅 So the fact that the first election I voted in here was this one has me feeling so positive and motivated! I've never been super educated about politics, but it's easy to understand why @jamestalarico and @ginafortexas are going to be monumentally great changes. And I'd like to thank @kenpaxtontx. I was already very excited about voting for Talarico, but Paxton really helped me stay positive about how correct my decision was. He wasted so much paper sending out ad after ad with Talarico's face on it, which clearly showed how little he cares about waste and litter. The whole "for they/them, not you" tagline on those ads was the funniest political slogan I've ever heard someone say with total seriousness and an excellent bonus to 100% make sure every LGBTQ+ voter in Texas voted for Talarico. And the ad that showed a welcome mat with "illegal immigrants welcome" with a pic of Talarico's face next to it made me hopeful that such an amazing fake item may be a real thing someday. I think a lot of people in my age group have been in the mindset of "why vote? Who cares? Politicians are all the same." I didn't register to vote until I'd been an adult for a decade because I cared so little about anything outside of my own little world (but to be fair, I was miserable 24/7 and didn't care about bathing, eating or being alive either lol) So, one more thank you, this time to trump and his administration. I believe they have made those of us who didn't care much about voting make sure to register and make our voices heard. It's because of him that we can see one thing clearer than ever: even if politicians are similar, there are some that are much, much, much worse than others. There are some that are truly evil. There are some who genuinely want many of us dead. And then there are some who are there for they/them, and you. #jamestalarico #texas #election #ballpython #fyp (actually jk. even thanking trump jokingly to make a point about how much ass he sucks feels gross.) you won't find me talking about things like politics often, but I'm feeling so inspired because of these and so many other changes that have happened because of this election. so many firsts. so many reasons to feel hopeful.
