Do You Live In Texas? Here Are 12 Things You Should Do To Prepare For Democrats Taking Over
Babylon Bee ^ | 11/05/2026 | Babylon Bee

Listen up, Texans: most of you have never experienced living under Democratic rule, and there are some new realities you need to be ready for.

Here are 12 things you can do now to prepare for the Dems taking over:

1. Forget the Alamo: It had a good run.

2. Practice riding your horse in a hijab: It's going to take some getting used to.

3. Start saying "you all" instead of "y'all": Contractions are hate speech.

4. Practice shooting with finger guns: We have some bad news about the real ones.

5. Trade in your cowboy hat for a fedora: How do you do, fellow liberal?

6. Remove "Don't" from all "Don't Mess With Texas" signs: It's a new era.

7. Adopt a gay sports team, such as the Dallas Cowboys:

8. White out the word 'steak' on all of the steakhouses: You've got to keep your beef a secret now.

9. Trade in your truck for a bicycle: Sorry, but no trucks in blue states. Or cars. Or roads.

10. Prepare your son to move from football to soccer: Girls' soccer, to be precise.

11. Move to California: If you're going to live in a blue state, you might as well have nice weather.

12. Prepare to make your last stand at Buc-ee's: Please. Don't let them take Buc-ee's from us.

What are you waiting for? Get those finger guns firing!

Actually, rather than get a fedora I think they should plan on getting one of those pink sock hats.

I’ve talked to all my friends in Texas and they have all started purchasing those red, little red riding hood Handjobmaiden Tails Capes with the white Elizabethian pet collars used to keep from licking themselves. Cowboy hats and boots are out. NASCAR and country music has gone over to the blue liberals. No more gun shows. It’s all “buybacks” all the the time. Crescents, Starbucks, Man buns, Chinese Laundry sign tattoos and Walmart gift cards are the signs of the new Hiniehoser Cowboys and Dopey Opie Tallywacko Taxes Heros.

Will be interesting to see how Elon Musk responds to Texas turning blue - after he moved his businesses out of deep blue California.

Gen’rl Santa Ana would be so proud of Texans right now. As they should have years ago, they surrendered. This time to commies and pervs. Well done. I lived there for over a decade and admired many Texans, even the imports who assimilated and flew both flags in their neighborhoods.
Moved to CaCaLand four decades ago – different story entirely. Regardless, I now regard my time in Texas with extreme shame. Instead of brave and steadfast folks, the state seems to be a habitat of little more than lazy clowns who couldn’t be bothered to get off their fat butts and vote.

They will pass an estate tax and, because they can’t pass a personal income tax , pass a “personal gross receipts tax” like they did to get around the ban on corporate income taxes.

Discussing with my better half the left’s upcoming onslaught on our finances, it would seem that we have about two months to get the personal and estate finances in order. Interest rates will likely soar so the best bank deals should be made very soon. Need to replace an older vehicle? Do it now. House needs some work? Do it now. The best rates for home improvement loans is now. Remember 18% mortgage loans a while back? I expect that again.

The left wants all your money as soon as they can legally get it. And if you are a conservative the left, like the koranimals, wouldn’t mind if you died sooner rather than later.

Maybe with a mandatory snot ring.

Seriously, though...

I'm waiting for:

  1. The abortion agenda to come to Texas.
  2. Gun control.
  3. Attacks on freedom of religion. We have churches on every street corner the way that other states have gas stations.
  4. Shutting down drilling in the Permian Basin.
  5. Shutting down platforms in Texas state waters in the Gulf of America.
  6. State income taxes.
  7. Re-reforming ERCOT to double-down on the "green" agenda.

Screw it, I’m over abortion. Let them abort, they’d be lousy mothers anymore.

Wearing fedoras ended when the last of the Greatest Generation went to their eternal reward or at a minimum to assisted living centers. The communist run Railroad Commission could shut down fracking and slant drilling. Th loss of revenue to the state treasury would be enormous. That would be a back door for a state income tax, which would at first only affect 1-5% of high income taxpayers, but would eventually trickle down to lower income taxpayers.

It’s exactly as feared. Californians and NE liberals brought their voting habits with them.
