If Texas turns blue on [election] night, and its 38 electoral votes go to Biden, then Trump would have no viable path to victory, and the election would be over that night, before Trump’s lawyers can get through the courtroom doors to stop the vote counts in other states. -Beto O’Rourke and Tory Gavito, Washington Post, October 2020

Fellow Texans, it’s time we pay the country back, and here is how.

  • For Dubbya
    A mission accomplished: Texas Turned Blue.
  • For never shutting up about bluebonnets
    One Biden vote for each wildflower we bragged about.
  • For all the freakin’ longhorns
    Trump metaphorically skewered on the horns of Cornyn’s Cadillac.
  • For “Don’t Mess with Texas”
    Yeah, yeah, it was an anti-littering campaign, but let’s all vote blue, just for the misunderstanding.
  • For the religion of football
    Beto is our god now.
  • For all that secession bullshit
    Secession? Are you kidding me? STFU and vote.
  • For Alex Jones
    Conspire to silence that horrible human.
    Can’t be done? Hand over the electorates, and America will call it even.
  • For our loud, loud voices
    Trump’s concession speech in ASMR.
  • For all the guns
    Open-carry Biden to victory.
  • For conversion therapy
    Pray the red away.
  • For those Texas-sized cockroaches
    A perfect “Welcome Home!” gift to Mar-A-Lago.
  • For excessive Texas pride
    A humble offering of electoral votes.
  • For Whataburger fanatics
    Admit it’s just a hamburger. Pair the admission with high urban voter turnout.
  • For money, money, money
    Act Blue, Act Blue, Act Blue.
  • For every single thing about Lance
    Doesn’t he owe the USPS some real work? 26 mph ballot delivery.
  • For breeding televangelists
    A delicious election day surprise: Joel Osteen + Ivanka Trump sittin’ in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
  • WTF Astros?
    Steal Trump signs instead.
  • For all the “We’re the biggest” braggadocio
    Thirty-eight electoral votes, and we’re free to continue running our mouths in Colorado.
  • For Ted Cruz
    Some things just can’t be forgiven.
