My itty bitty town now has a Democratic Party headquarters on Main St

Hell has frozen over! Drove thru downtown yesterday and there it was!

Democratic Party Headquarters with a big ole sign, flags flying, balloons and everything!

Going over tomorrow to volunteer.

Kendall Scudder (new chair Texas Democratic Party) - you rock!

I live in deep deep ruby red Guadalupe County. I may be wrong but I think all three city councils are Republican controlled as well as the School Board! These cities are Schertz, Selma and Cibolo. All bedroom communities for San Antonio and Austin.

Send me some more postcards! I’m stoked now! Ya mon 😬

The only good thing I've seen in the "Brazos Valley" is a noticeable lack of tRump signs and flags.

Last Fall I saw maybe one sign in my neighborhood.

We used to live in College Station.

All my doctors but 1 are in College Station.
My oncologist is having a sad. Her and her husband have heavily invested in a new cancer clinic. tRump voters now paying the price of voting for tariffs, (lumber and steel) and labor shortages.

Don't tell me to dump her, I think I owe my life to her.

We don't usually talk about politics but some how it happened. We decided to agree that we disagree. After she left her assistant quietly told me she agreed with me.

Some of the nicest, most patriotic people I know are Trumpers. It makes no sense.

My husband and I were talking last night and we both agree hard times are coming.

My husband said “Welp this is the first month the mortgage will be late, if at all, for some Federal workers, contractors and research folks.”

Folks like your doctor are just now seeing a tiny snowball headed their way.

Democrats are beginning to stand up. Where are the Republicans? Is defying the Supreme Court a red line for them? Sending an innocent man to a hell hole prison for the rest of his life sure wasn’t.

Possibly as a patriotic reaction to JFK's assassination.

But they got Medicare as a result of that election.

But Guadalupe County just sent Henry Cuellar to Congress.

Before that we elected Lloyd Doggett for several years.

Wow! 62.5 percent. I can’t even imagine.
