Lifelong Republican Texas Woman Explains Why She Now Votes Blue


Texas women are long-suffering. The fact is, Texans LOVE Texas. All Texans, including Texas women. I told my father that just last night: “I love Texas. Disappointing politics will never change that.” I’m an 8th generation Texan.


I love Texas, OK?

Texas has a rich and proud cultural heritage. We haven’t always been as ignorant as we are right now. Unfortunately, a decade of having an evangelical living in the governor’s mansion has brought us down to the level of ignorance exhibited in many other Southern states.

This woman explains it as well as I can, and she does it in an enchanting Texas drawl. The summer of 2013 forever changed Texas women, in my opinion. Let us know your thoughts at the Liberal America Facebook page.
