One of the largest Socialist parties in the USA was in Texas. Cowboys cutting fences and fighting private property, abolitionists taking a stand against the confederacy, populists taking on the rich, there’s a lot about Texas the world doesn’t know.

I was on all things considered today talking about this historic election and Texas’s forgotten history of economic populism

www.npr.org The surprising and often forgotten history of economic populism in Texas NPR's Rob Schmitz speaks with Austin-based political commentator David Griscom. He authored a book titled The Myth of Red Texas which tells the story of economic populism in Texas.

I’m going to write more about this, but everyone saying Texas went blue because of transplants is totally missing the point that a lot of these new residents are anti-social Republican freaks from California doing politics tourism

I've never necessarily been directly affected by an election.

But after Texas turning blue we just had 3 people back out of buying our house.

All from California all said we see the writing on the wall and can't live in another place like Cali.

Hope the socialist talking points are worth it.
