Shhh - you’ll rile the US contingent.

In the UK they are referred to as “double-barrelled” surnames… and they have a reputation for poshness. They are not uncommon.

Impressed to hear there was actually a plan; in some shape or form.

That all makes sense, especially what you said about the young vocal minority - i just thought they all looked identical but it’s probably the same few only that I routinely scroll past on feeds.

Freedumb and Demockracy - Texas Style.

I’m not even going to verify what you said. I’m quite “happy” to believe it.

Yeah, i would have thought that they’d be suffering voter churn by now, but, as others have pointed out an awful lot of Texans (of whatever political persuasion) don’t make it to the voting booth so there is the potential for it to go either way. I’ll keep watching - from a distance. Thanks.

That seems fairly reasonable. It’s the uncertainty of it not yet being in the bag that niggles and motivates them?

Thanks. Following-up on someone else’s comment: is it really just one generation that votes for Trump en masse? I see young and middle aged people (not irl) frequently advocating for him and his, uh, policies.

Thanks. I understand why Texas “might” not actually be as Republican as they’re perceived…

Thanks, makes sense with more context.

Genuine question from an outsider: Are there legitimate voters who haven’t already voted for Trump’s current party that now, at this exact moment in time, suddenly think it’d be a good idea to start? Essentially are there people who are now going to support him that haven’t already? Or is this more about mobilising (sorry for the spelling) the already existing vote?

Between this one, Vance, Kirk & Shapiro I have no idea what size anybody’s facial features are anymore.
