Watch the language they’re using folks. This is a critical historical inflection point, IMO. They’re using very critical language to make it seem like these changes are bad or are an omen. I’m still of the belief that something’s in the works. This sort of language was popular in many autocratic societies prior to big “purges.” The media is fanning flames.

insurgent wing, vengeful primary election, hard-right state leaders, targeted by ultra-conservative, What a HORRIBLE night, publisher of the ultra-conservative Texas Scorecard, sought to oust the three judges

“...the Republican Party in an expensive and vengeful primary election...”

About time. I know the Lord says, “Vengeance is mine”, but maybe He appreciates a little help along the way.

Voters also ejected three Republican judges from the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, the state’s highest criminal court, including Chief Justice Sharon Keller, who garnered less than 40% of the vote. Paxton sought to oust the three judges after they ruled in 2021 that his office didn’t have the power to unilaterally prosecute voter fraud.

Good. Texas doesn't need three Raffenspergers on their judicial bench.

"What a HORRIBLE night it has become for the corny establishment in Austin,” Michael Quinn Sullivan, publisher of the ultra-conservative Texas Scorecard, wrote on X as the returns came in.

The corny establishment?

Darn it. I thought Phelan had lost outright. This RINO drunkard needs to thrown out on his backside in the runoff.

[FLT-bird]

I second the motion. I’ll proudly wear that label just as my ancestors did in 1776 and 1861.

shockwaves

Taking out the traitorous grifting class of Republicans is right wing insurgency that shocks the People who they have been betraying?

The only shock is that they have gotten awy with it for so long.

“ I’m still of the belief that something’s in the works. This sort of language was popular in many autocratic …”

You speak as if Paxton doesn’t know what to do with a victory. These people tried to defeat him and throw him in jail while in office only a year ago

They’re losing. Decisively. They’re out. By voters.

[stanne]

It wasn’t vengeful. It was defensive by offense toward people who tried to force out tge good guys by lawfare

Why take up liberals’ language?

[Salamander]

Sic semper tyrannis never goes outta style.

That’s because speaking truth is considered treason in an empire of lies.
