I live in Midland, Texas in the middle of the oil rich Permian Basin which was booming under Biden and busted under Trump despite the fact this town contributed millions to Trump’s campaign! Oh the irony! 👇 - ThreadSky

It would only seem weird to one that Democrats would support industries if one had been brainwashed by Fox News et al.

Do you know Roland Gutierrez?

miriam2626.bsky.social•81 days ago

Yes. He is a friend of mine.

Texans have been fucked for far too long. Even Rep. Crockett says because of voter suppression the State leans Republican.

davek67.bsky.social•81 days ago

I soooo hope he wins! He seems awesome from what I’ve seen!

Yep. $60 a barrel for oil is a non-starter

Sara…
I was raised in West Texas. My dad was a driller.
Moved to Austin during the ‘86 bust.
Mr. Global and a few others have pointed out that the ‘bust’ all correlate to GOP running the show.
All the ‘booms’ were during the Democrats terms.
Thinking back, I believe they are right.🤨

Does Midland TX still support Trump, Sara?

miriam2626.bsky.social•81 days ago

It’s very quiet here.

The contrast between how the two administrations affects everyday Americans is pretty stark.

I hope they’re blaming the right people this time.

They aren’t. I’m in Texas. They will end up blaming dems in some sort of fashion or whoever Fox News tells them to blame. The parents of the girl who died from measles literally said she is in a better place. They still wouldn’t vaccinate their children. Bonkers.

So sad.

Fox will be the death of American democracy, much to Robert Murdoch and his Russian wife’s great pleasure.

Not a chance despite the complete policy flip across the board. Right down to a GOP led immigration bill that TRUMP demanded be crushed by his party. He doesn’t care folks. He’s got his directives from USSR.

Hello - can you explain why the bust is happening? What specifically is happening right now under Trump that has made oil rich Permian suffer? I want to explain to my oil friends in Texas.

Oh well.
