Texas State (not DC) Representative Ryan Guillen just jumped ship from the evil party to the stupid party — welcome, sir! He’s in the Texas State House, not national, but the reception he’s getting on the Fox News YouTube video is heartwarming, and we may assume that comes from a national audience.
Good on Fox for highlighting him (note obvious white supremacist reporter), and I commend TX State Rep Guillen for moving with not only his conscience but with the values of his constituents.
You all know that I’m black-pilled about elections (and about the national party as a body), but just as with volunteering a lot in Virginia, this is a game of inches, and the current environment of election fraud makes these seemingly minor gains more important, not less.

As they say, “One (more) small step.”
Good for him. I know he’ll get lots of flak, and he knew he would, too. And he made the right decision anyway!
…maybe wait to see how he votes before we hold the victory parade though.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
A man like him needs friends. He’s fresh out.
He’s going to vote like a Democrat on issues he would have anyway. However, he changed his position on some key issues, and that’s an improvement . . .
I’m not sure, in this polarized society, that his beliefs have changed as much as his desire to remain in office after some demographics changed.
Sounds intriguing. What’s changed?
I’ve no idea. But I’m doubtful that he is a man of integrity.
Then he’s in the right party now. Same as before.
Sure, he’s a dirty backstabbing quisling, but he’s our dirty backstabbing quisling.
We think.
People do change their minds sometimes. Ronald Reagan and Texas Senator Phil Gramm started out as Democrats, and they embraced conservatism with both arms.
Sometimes. But we shall see.
