@JasonVaughn Neither needs to resign. Gonzales would have been voted out for policy reasons independent of the affair.

Just so we're clear, Tony Gonzales should resign and so should Ken Paxton. If you're only against one then you don't have a moral stance. You have a hypocritical political one.

@JeffYoungerShow Unnecessary for the job or not, the vast majority of well playing jobs require a college degree. Go to college.
English
University is a bad deal and wholly unnecessary.
If you see a degree or certification requirement attached to a job, it’s probably a fake job.

Once this sinks in, most colleges will go out of business.

@Dom_Delecto @Will_Tanner_1 @glamdemon2004 I live in Texas….thats not true at all. The most prestigious schools in Houston are Episcopal, St John’s and Kinkaid. In Dallas it’s St Marks and Highlad Park High.
English
@basedbarnicle @Will_Tanner_1 @glamdemon2004 But mind you, I work for billionaires and their kids didn’t get into the best one. Spots are very limited. For most people, it’s “public school or Catholic school”
English
Been reading a lot of old books satirizing traditional WASP culture and I would love for someone smart to explain to me why Catholicism became the aspirational right wing trad country club aesthetic instead of Protestantism…? 🤔
English
@GabeGuidarini Being an “anti establishment outsider” is bad. We need to reach a place where our people are the insiders, and act like it.
English
The easiest way to fix the problem is to get smart young people into elected positions.
When the highest profile “dissident” officials are Massie (corny Gen Xer) and MTG (wacky Gen Xer), then that is what political dissidence becomes in the eyes of Gen Z. It’s not a great look.
Gabe Guidarini@GabeGuidarini
The largest concern is the human capital element, you’re not getting it right now. You were getting it in 2018-2022 primarily. Now, the over saturation of Gen Z social media has made the brightest and most capable in Gen Z turn away from politics altogether. That’s an issue.
English
@Dom_Delecto @Will_Tanner_1 @glamdemon2004 You must live in the Midwest. Catholic schools being the most prestigious is a midwestern thing. The majority of prestigious private high schools in the south and east coast are secular or high church Protestant.
English
@Will_Tanner_1 @glamdemon2004 It’s really not just an online thing. It’s pretty serious in any yuppie neighborhood in a big city, driven largely by good schools.
If Catholic schools didn’t exist, the only option would be the suburbs.

@HVNYrefugee Anglicans sure, Presbyterians, no. I want nothing to do theologically with calvinists.
English
As a Southern Baptist, I generally think of myself as a descendent of Presbyterians and Anglicans, not anabaptists.

@TheRealCruzOx I’m ready as ever. 100% true. Leavitt is not good. Predicted they’d miss the playoff last year, doubling down this year.

LSU, but a lot of yall ain’t ready for that conversation yet.

@gummibear737 If politics was a hobby or a game and didn’t actually affect our lives, this would make sense.

@AmyWinkel4 @lukemaciastx Trump won 55% in Collin County. That’s great. But there are literally hundreds of counties where he did better, including other suburbs. Parker, in the metroplex he got over 80%. Montgomery in suburban Houston, over 70%.
English
@basedbarnicle @lukemaciastx As compared to what? I agree, Collin County is losing hold big time. We have Rinos as Reps that are basically democrats and a huge establishment issue.
English
This is me on Feb 13, 2008 helping run my Dad’s re-election campaign.
He lost by 17 votes.
Finish strong Texas conservatives!

@allie__voss I’ve never heard of anyone under the age of 50 having HS home ec.

@AmyWinkel4 @lukemaciastx In what world is Collin County the reddest in TX?? LOL. Not even close.
English
Get the word out to our church going friends - they are not showing up! I was poll greeting at Gay Library in McKinney, the #1 voting location in Collin County - supposedly the Reddest county in Texas. Guess who we saw the majority that showed up - liberal white women who said they are democrats. CHURCH - you need to rise up!

@igorbobic @scottbraddock Better start planning for the alien invasion, Rick.

Asked what he would do if Ken Paxton beats Cornyn in the GOP Senate primary, Rick Perry says:
“I have no idea. What are we going to do if aliens come down before the election?”
English
Right-wing Twitter will be put out of its misery when someone like Putsch runs for president in 2028 and embarrasses themselves in the Republican primary debates.
Christian Heiens 🏛@ChristianHeiens
Just a word of advice for anyone ever thinking about running for office. Tweeting things like this while running for the GOP nomination for governor of a predominantly blue collar rust belt state that voted for Trump by 11 points is not a winning strategy. Who exactly is the target audience here? Because it definitely isn’t Republican primary voters.
English
@tsarlet2 The most likely candidate for this as of now is Bannon.
Retard-right twitter will back him whole-heartedly, and then he'll get 2% in Iowa and New Hampshire before dropping out.
English
@NewReaganCaucus If Kari Lake was an effective AG who had been elected statewide multiple times then sure.
English
Ken Paxton was designed in a lab by Democrats to be Texas's Kari Lake.

@atlanticesque Yup. Secular peoples caricature in their mind of a typical religious person is a poor southerner. But in reality, the reason the south is the most religious region is that it’s the only region where the lower classes are just as religious as the upper class.

Brad Wilcox@BradWilcoxIFS
Religion "is becoming an elite marker in America. Increasingly, religious affiliation has become a form of elite social behavior assoc w/ stability, community leadership & bourgeois respectability. Indeed, over past 15 years, religiously engaged have become more educated."
English
@Empty_America @realLPBeria The mystique surrounding his assassination helps as well. Adds to the myth that he was a big enemy of the establishment to the point that they had him killed, which he was not.
English
@realLPBeria Part of the mystery is that he was an Ellis island ethnic from family that had recently but convincingly become upper class.
This had a more complex appeal than just another Roosevelt, or the like.
English
JFK’s popularity is actually weird, if you consider the class optics involved.
He seems like the only presidential candidate in US history to be beloved *because* he was so glamorously upper-class-coded.
