I’m in a mostly red state, but live one of the two major blue cities the state that pretty much pays for the entire states bullshit… they try so hard to push bullshit conservative amendments during election time. This go around, their ads were simply… “vote for this amendment that will do this, the socialists are trying to do this against you… are you with the socialists?” All while showing the typical fake ass middle class working family smiling and doing middle class things all bright and cheery when trying to push this obviously bad amendment. When talking about the socialists, they would cut to a black and white imagery of Mamdani, AOC, etc with evil looks on their face… I was astounded by the sheer misinformation and fear mongering tactics these dumb fuck R’s are trying… luckily these amendments failed spectacularly at the ballots, but they say they aren’t giving up…
in texas, the red WELFARE COUNTIES are sustained by 4 major blue counties. texas cant afford to make them all red with redistricitng. so many people in the HCOL of west coast moved there from a blue area.

The saddest part is this shit works on people
Somehow the word “socialist” has really bad branding.
