Ok let's be clear here on this. This is the Texas state Senate 9th district, Forte Worth area.

Not the federal congressional (house) 9th district, Houston area.

This wil not affect the federal Congress. House or Senate.

BTW the federal congressional 9th district was already democratic. Democrat Al Green.

It is impressive mostly because Forte Worth area is deeply red. Yet it pertains only to the state. Not the federal government.

Technically you are correct in every way imaginable. However, regardless of the government level it represents, the fact that Texans are strongly migrating from red to blue, even just in Fort Worth, represents a litmus test for MAGA's new focus now that Trump has effectively deceived them all.

In other words, blue is now where the Texas mind is at, not red anymore. I believe that was the point of the OP's post.

@swirlie I happen to know what their insane redistricting did in the San Antonio area though. It decimated a very strong democratic area. Including Austin, the state capitol.

I lived there for six years! Had a girl friend in Austin and New Braunfels. She moved.

@DeWayfarer

..she moved because of redistricting or because of you?
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@swirlie I suspect, and can't say for certain, that she moved because she might have wanted to be near me. New Braunfels is closer to San Antonio by half. It's as well a university town. Think democrat.

@DeWayfarer
Oh, I see. For some reason I was left with the impression that when she moved, she left you behind.

@swirlie If you really want to insult me, you might want ask what she was like.

It was a big mistake on my part. That I will never do again.
swirlie · 31-35
@DeWayfarer
Oh no, I have no desire to insult you! The way you worded your previous post where you said "she moved", I somehow thought you were already living where she too was living and when she moved, she moved on without you. I'm only going by how you constructed the wording of that post.

@swirlie I said I lived in the San Antonio area. 🤷🏻‍♂

Actually all over San Antonio.

Here's what you wrote:

In that post you mentioned San Antonio, Austin and New Braunfels.

In that post you said you had a girlfriend in Austin and New Braunfels, which would mean that you had two girlfriends, not one. Which girlfriend are you now referring to that moved?

In saying that you "lived there for six years", lived where for six years since you mentioned two cities in one sentence?

In saying that you had a girlfriend in Austin and New Braunfels who moved, you inferred that she moved from one of the towns you evidently lived in, which would infer that she moved away from you.

So again I ask, did your illusive girlfriend MOVE because of redistricting.. or because of you?

@swirlie Order of precedents San Antonio first, Austin second, New Braunfels third.

I lived in San Antonio, she first lived in Austin, then moved to New Braunfels.

One, followed by two, followed by three!

I even met her in San Antonio. At a pagan pride day, that I was active in. Had to take her back to Austin that night. Yeah I slept there that night, in her bed, with her.

Austin is quite a drive at night from San Antonio. And no pagan pride day ends before midnight.

The whole thing was likely a setup. I was the only loner of the pagan group. She was an outsider. An unknown.

She wasn't the only unknown girl they tried to set me up with either. 🤣

@swirlie I have always said that I have lived in San Antonio. It's even in my extremely long post almost a decade ago now.

No she's not in it. I couldn't put everything in it. It was that long.

This is not the first time we have had this conversation either!

BTW your reply was hidden.

No, again you did not say that you lived in San Antonio. Here is what you wrote:

I lived there for six years! Had a girl friend in Austin and New Braunfels. She moved.

For the third time now, you wrote San Antonio and Austin, then said that you lived there for 6 years. Lived where for 6 years?, is what I asked.

Then you said you had a girlfriend in Austin and New Braunfels, which means you had 2 girlfriends, not 1... and then you said she moved, which means she moved AWAY from you.

It is irrelevant what you wrote in an extremely long post over a decade ago where it was allegedly stated where you lived; what IS relevant is what you wrote NOW, which quite frankly is the work of an illiterate person.

The reason we keep having this conversation is because of your poor writing skills which is what I'm trying to bring to your attention.

@swirlie I am not going argue this point anymore.

Two other people, than yourself, have understood my point now, by liking my replies. So go elsewhere!

BTW if you wish to block me once again, for the uncountable number of times, then please do so!

Others, on other posts, are saying the same thing, about your blocking and unblocking. I don't care what you do, as long as you don't reply on my comments or posts!

I don't need to block, or even reply to anything of yours. I only defend my own comments and posts...

No, that post wasn't just for you! Yet it does include you.

@swirlie Lady you have repeatedly blocked me without ever saying anything. Just this one time I thought to bring it up first.

And that was exactly what those others were talking about. You didn't say anything therefore they blocked you back.

GO ELSEWHERE! Iwill defend my comments!

And I still won't block!
swirlie · 31-35
@DeWayfarer
Yes, I know you will defend your comments! That's why I keep blocking you ...then unblocking you to see if you've come to your senses!
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@swirlie Your sense is senseless to me.

So go elsewhere!

I am an Honors Graduate of Trump University. How dare you say that my sense is senseless!
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@swirlie Please now I know your being facetious.

Go elsewhere!
swirlie · 31-35
@DeWayfarer
I'm not being facetious! I just wanted you to know that you're talking to a highly educated person in these social exchanges!
