Texas Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa, the first Democrat to win the office since 1990, said Thursday she would build a bipartisan administration after her stunning upset in the midterm elections that shattered decades of GOP control in the nation’s second-most populous state.
Hinojosa, who will become Texas’ first Latina governor, made the pledge during her first news conference since ousting Republican Gov. Greg Abbott as part of Democrats’ wave of wins, including James Talarico flipping a U.S. Senate seat.
“We are forging a new way forward,” she said. “People are tired of the divisions, tired of the fighting, tired of the culture wars.”
I don’t trust the Texas political machine. This is going too quietly.
If I recall, they’ve already begun the process of stripping the governor of all the ridiculous powers they granted not expecting to ever have to share them.
She’s already vowed to make it a “bipartisan” administration, so frankly you shouldn’t even trust HER.
Step 1: powerwash all of the fascism out of her new office before touching anything
Step 2: let a little fascism back in, as a treat 🤦🏻

FUCK no! Don’t fucking invite the fascists back in! 🤦🏻🤬
People are tired of the divisions, tired of the fighting
No we’re not! We’re tired of the fascists winning due to Liberals refusing to fight them hard enough!
You don’t tame fascism or win over its followers by giving it a place at the table!
Already appointed a repub to her transition team. Sad trombone noise.
