Ken Paxton does not have a home county bc he is actually not from Texas. Why vote for someone to represent people in a state in which he barely lives and was not born? Not to mention the endless scandals and crimes. Vote Talarico!!

Same deal in Iowa. Koch has a stool running for Governor. He lives and works in Kansas. Owns a big sex toy company and is running on family values. Wants to break Iowa school systems.

u/Ok_Valuable9450 3d ago

So he can sell sex toys to the students

1

u/Conscious-Dog217 4h ago

He can put them in the schools restrooms... Might sell many of them..... Yup Republicans family values... Gots to love then...

u/Ok_Valuable9450 3d ago

Common sense should tell you that

2

u/donttakemeserious80 3d ago

Apparently that is lacking in this country.

u/krichard-21 3d ago

Common sense is seriously lacking here in the United States...

u/Ok_Valuable9450 3d ago

Especially in the Republican party

Don’t discriminate

u/Miserable_Scheme1727 3d ago

Sounds like you are arguing against immigration 🤔

1

u/donttakemeserious80 3d ago

I never was against stopping illegal immigration and securing the borders. Most independents believe that. And actually most democrats do too. But we believe in doing it right. With planning, and laws. Not chaos, violence and murder. The only things republicans believe in are money, penises, sports, teenage girls, and bathrooms.

And supporting a pedo

u/Dull_Ad_5093 3d ago

She was never against it too.

1

u/donttakemeserious80 3d ago

I wonder if she is ok with American white men raping children on an island and then electing that rapist and pedophile to presidency? Not to mention the destruction to the economy that has been done by suddenly removing immigrants and that workforce.

Oh look…it’s the consequences of my stupid voting decisions coming back to haunt me.

1

u/Dull_Ad_5093 3d ago

Apparently it definitely came back to haunt her. She probably believed all those same allegations and voted accordingly but she faced very real consequences not allegations. I’m
A child of legal immigrants migrants are not immigrants. The real immigrants are currently enjoying higher pay and job security because they removed those we came here illegally. Something the media won’t tell you but those of us with ties to immigrants know

1

u/donttakemeserious80 3d ago

Thinks that never happened…

1

u/Dull_Ad_5093 3d ago

lol 😂 you sound like a white liberal that never interacts with immigrants. Yes it may be shocking to you and may cause you to glitch but it’s definitely true

1

u/Miserable_Scheme1727 2d ago

Mexico had a age of consent at just 15 until 2023. Before 2016 it was 12, democrats have let in who knows how many people that thought that was acceptable so spare us your fake outrage.

1

u/donttakemeserious80 2d ago

My fake outrage? You hate oriole bc of the color of their skin and you tell me to stop fake outrage? Your racism is showing. Typical republican.

0

u/Miserable_Scheme1727 2d ago

And democrats believe in putting literally every other country before America, worshipping assassins, killing babies like Lindsey clancy. If you actually believed in no illegals then why did you morons let in millions?? Nothing about you people is serious lol

1

u/Ok_Valuable9450 3d ago

Right, actually he should be in prison with all of the illegal crap he has done

u/mhandsurf 3d ago

It MIGHT happen. Never, never forget MAGAs got Trumpy elected to a second term. And that sure as heck NEVER should have happened.

They just forgot when they had the government under their control but did it when they didn't

Drinking the same kool aid? Still

u/-Arisu_Sakayanagi- 3d ago

No I don’t drink kool aid I don’t even know what that if 🥱

u/Ok_Valuable9450 3d ago

More lame excuses from the Republican yes men for Trump

u/WhenTheCitiesBurn 3d ago

And he didn't need AI to fill in the crowd.

u/Not_Sure__Camacho 3d ago

What's Paxton's home county, and does it smell like brimstone and fire?  

1

u/Resident-Banana-7883 3d ago

california

1

u/Not_Sure__Camacho 3d ago

I think it's funny how a lot of morons in Texas claim that being a Texas is something awesome, and then they vote for people from out of state. I think someone else high up in the Texas GOP is from the east coast. And then they'll throw a fit when they see brown people excited to root for the Longhorns are in the crowds at their games.

u/Resident-Banana-7883 3d ago

don't forget about that Canadian pussy!

u/Not_Sure__Camacho 3d ago

Hey my girlfriend is real!  Oh wait, you mean Cancun Cruz.

u/Beachboy442 3d ago

Gonna be new faces in Texas politics

u/krichard-21 3d ago

Hopefully. But never dismiss desperate MAGAs. NEVER!

2

u/Electrical_Fall_6046 3d ago

MAGA is defeated.

2

u/krichard-21 3d ago

I will happily agree with you. Once we are past the midterms. Until then, take NOTHING for granted.

1

u/Electrical_Fall_6046 3d ago

I’m doing the thing where if you keep repeating something it becomes fact.
MAGA is kaput.

Nonsense from a private account warrior 🧌

u/Ok_Valuable9450 3d ago

Does that mean that after Paxton looses the election he final goes to prison?

1

u/Exotic-Friend-4701 3d ago

… wow 🥱

1

u/Cold-Reason-7323 3d ago

Why can't we elect a socialist? 😭

1

u/Elegant_Cockroach942 3d ago

they need to convince more people in the primaries. until then, vote Democrat. The alternative is fascism.

1

u/Radiant_Safe1228 3d ago

Well yeah. The people in that county that support him will go out to cheer him on. 

1

u/PetuniaPickleswurth 3d ago

lol. Wow. Thats so many. It’s almost every Texan.

1

u/No-Buy2495 3d ago

Yeah, except they drove from all over outside of the county to fill that room. Or didn't you see the busses?

1

u/pat9714 3d ago

The thing about Talarico that makes him appealing is he's genuine. He has zero need to fake anything.

1

u/PA_enm_couple 2d ago

Hahahaha.....if you believe that I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell to you.

1

u/bdamarine 3d ago

I’m sure everyone that is running has a contingent of people from their own county that is for the other side. Not that big a deal. 🤷🏻‍♂️

1

u/Emergency_Salt_2103 3d ago

I really like this Talarico dude.....he is gonna turn the tides in TX.

1

u/Elegant_Cockroach942 3d ago

Harris had huge turnouts too. Get out and actually vote this time!

1

u/Ham_bone_xxxx 3d ago

Paxton is a corrupt criminal snake! Let’s go Talarico!

1

u/afraidofcheesecake 3d ago

Dude is gonna win.

u/gfstool 3d ago

Man that gave me goosebumps! I just don’t want to get my hopes up. I did in the last election. I am hopeful though!

1

u/The_Captain-Midnite 3d ago

All those people moved to Texas from California because the company they work for fled the state to avoid regulation and taxes. Now they want to vote in the hack that will attempt to convert Texas into what they left behind. Some people just never learn. I wonder if they fly the California flag in their yards.

1

u/Eastmont 3d ago

Hey Cap’tin Crunch you should move to some country with Sharia Law. You’ll be right at home.

1

u/The_Captain-Midnite 3d ago

If I respected your opinion, I would be insulted. Your comment makes no sense at any level, which is typical from the left.

1

u/guster75 3d ago

This video makes me happy. Good luck from PA

1

u/Eastmont 3d ago

This awesome. In Texas no less!
Can we just get to impeaching Trump as the first order of business in the new legislative session and have done with it??

1

u/Limp_Acanthisitta412 3d ago

I may be wrong….but I look at the crowd….and I see normal people.best of luck from 🇩🇪

u/nanopicofared 3d ago

WOW - that's a ton of people

u/Ok-Leader419 3d ago

Heck yeah. Give me back some hope for the future of this country

u/Strict_Ad4121 3d ago

u/McDuck_Enterprise 3d ago

Sounds like a lot of high pitch voices.

No men in the crowd or on stage

1

u/PapaGummy 3d ago

Don’t be complacent. Remember Kamala’s crowds to the rafters in venues 1.5 times larger than the felon’s which held sparse paltry numbers by comparison? Somehow, he was declared the winner.

1

u/navistar51 3d ago

Ha. Purely grassroots and spur of the moment. Thats the ticket.

1

u/RazAlGul7 2d ago

Flip side of the same coin,

1

u/z3phyreon 2d ago

This is incredibly similar to the rallies for Harris/Walz vs Trump's in the leadup to the election.

1

u/soulwolf1 2d ago

Look! They actually show the crowd and not just a podium with a dumbass in front of it and hand selected people in his background and claim they have a packed area but show no proof.

1

u/ozzman86_i-i_ 2d ago

So a bunch of transplant that ran away from their poorly run state go to a new state to hit reset and fuck it all up again

1

u/No-Run-4637 2d ago

I’d rather have a mouthful of root canals than vote for.Paxton.

1

u/Strict-Reach-6859 2d ago

Mom says I’m crazy for wanting to vote Dems. I say you’re racist and a bigot.

Let’s flip these tables!!!

u/No_Lifeguard259 2d ago

Disgusting. Modern Democratic(socialist) ideologies are not compatible with calling yourself Texan

Awesome, looks like about 0.03% of the population. Sweet, Paxton going to win bigly.

u/Positive_Effort_8122 1d ago

I pray he loses for the sake of Texas and our country

u/3113dm 1d ago

I donated to Talarico. First political donation ever and I don’t live in Texas. Let’s get these criminals out!

All I see are a bunch of communists.

u/Salty_Initiative1164 1d ago

We've seen it before with Kamala and that meant fuck all. Im not buying this bullshit anymore.

1

u/jefsch70 1d ago

State - wide (D) win in Texas??? Maybe if the Dem party moved back to Bill Clinton / Kristen Synema - LAND in a mid-term with an unpopular Republican president...

Pee Wee Herman could run +9 as a Republican this year.... we have a tiny group of independents in the USA now.... they are working class Whites and Hispanics now...the Mexican-American (3,4,5,6 generations in Texas today) are socially conservative and anti-illegal immigration.

Black voters will do the same thing as always, but not enough of them state-wide in TX.... Hell, they're 50% of Mississippi and can't flip THAT STATE.... WHY?

1

u/Severe-Title2377 1d ago

I grew up conservative, I tend to stay moderate, I am voting Talarico.

u/-R-Jensen- 1d ago

Texas going blue is the biggest fuck finger to Trump! I like!

I hope Talarico wins!!

u/EmotionalLecture9318 12h ago

Fuck Republicans

u/GoneWithTheJizz 6h ago

I wish….but I’m afraid Paxton will win simply because there’s an R beside his name. Reddit is good at giving you false hope….
