I’m going to share this video with my story. I have a VISCERAL reaction when I read takes like this. I have a full time job in an upper-middle class position. I loved my life. I traveled frequently, enjoyed life with my dog and my adult children, I voted in every election, volunteered when I could, and generally benefited from a functioning democracy. I’ve told this story before, but it was literally one conversation with the man who currently represents my district that changed everything for me. Never in a million years did I expect to enter the world of politics. I actually hate the attention. Social media sucks. I’m here because as a grassroots first time candidate, I have to make noise where I can. I’m going to win my election because I am fighting for my hometown, but if for some reason I don’t, I will ABSOLUTELY, happily, retreat back to a grassroots life of background activism where I don’t get called a c**t multiple times a day. This is my 2024 wrap up video. My 2025 video is a slideshow of shaking hands, smiling at events, knocking doors, and living 24/7 to save my community. This is what I gave up. And I have ZERO regrets.

There are multiple live streams on TikTok right now. I hopped over and took a screen recording of one of them, taken right outside of the Metropolitan Detention Center. This is the crowd that Donald Trump is mobilizing the MARINES to contain. What an absolute joke.

The guy on the left wants the death penalty for women who seek reproductive care. The guy next to him was financed directly by Greg Abbott to unseat an actual principled conservative to force through school vouchers. The guy next to him pushed the THC ban because he’s an anesthesiologist in the pocket of big pharma. And the last guy smiles and nods along with the rest of them. Our Texas GOP Representatives, ladies and gentlemen. Our Texas Democratic Party aren’t just protecting us from gerrymandering - they’re protecting us from the dark ages.

TLDR; Fund state legislative races. Y’all, I love my party. I really do. So I am going to hold their hands when I say this. YOU ARE STILL DOING IT WRONG!!! While we are over here writing strongly worded letters and bleeding resources into picking up a US House seat here and there, Republicans broke the code decades ago. Who draws the maps? STATE LEGISLATURES!!! The GOP has been operating not so quietly in their quest to completely dominate state legislatures with the ultimate goal of gaining permanent control over the federal chambers. AND DEMOCRATS HAVE JUST LET THEM! I was on a strategy call earlier today and people are still moving like 2030 is the goal, and it’s cool if we grab a few seats this year towards a 2030 flip. That was a great strategy until the SCOTUS decision. Texas Republicans are already openly salivating at the idea of redistricting AGAIN in 2027 based on the VRA ruling. And not just federal house races - the state legislature as well. (Caps for emphasis) WE WILL NOT HAVE 2030 if we don’t take the Texas House NOW! There are so many strong candidates in a state environment that is the most favorable for Democrats in a generation and all Texas dollars are going to Talarico. Y’all, I love JT, but the DNC has GOT to focus! We’re over here holding our hats out hoping some pennies fall in and several of us are running in districts where the ONLY element missing is funding. We have a few thousand while Abbott has made sure to drop MILLIONS into our opponents accounts. Change the strategy and change it now. The video is long but worth it. Thank you for coming to my TedTweet.

If you three mouth breathers were trying to convince me you aren’t obsessed with me, a two and a half minute rant about someone you’ve never met running in a district hours from where any of you live definitely wasn’t the way to do it. HARD incel energy here my dudes. The Chris Salcedo Show Chris Putnam @amuse

Y’all wanna hear a funny story? I recorded this yesterday. Notice I mention election results from tonight. Because I KNEW! You come for our kids, you come for US. You infected our communities all the way down to the school boards, and we are taking it ALL THE WAY BACK UP! So so so many CONGRATULATIONS newly elected members of the Cypress-Fairbanks ISD School Board - Kendra Camarena, Lesley Guilmart and Cleveland Lane Jr. Our kids come FIRST and the fight for them continues NOW.

Unchecked capitalism is the cause of the male loneliness epidemic and the radicalization of young men. Allow me to show my work. Capitalism is the best economic system in history, but it only works with guardrails. Strong unions, social safety nets, accessible housing and education, fair wages - these are all things America USED to have. It’s why families could survive on one income, and women who wanted to stay home could choose to. The days when men could work 40 hours at a blue collar job and support a family of four. That all changed with Reagan and supply side (AKA trickle down) economics. As things became more and more expensive, women were forced into the workforce. There was no other choice. I was a child during this transition. My mom WANTED to stay home with us. My family couldn’t afford it. I was part of the latchkey kid generation. But through the transition, men were still raised to believe that they were the breadwinner - that their only identity in life was to go to work and be a paycheck - and when rising costs and stagnant wages made that increasingly impossible, they automatically internalized that they were a failure. Enter the podcast bros. Instead of this being correctly labeled as society failing men AND families, they grifted on the idea that somehow women were to blame, and feminism was the devil. And while it’s true that women gained more freedom once they were able to get their own credit cards and apply for their own mortgages, it never meant that we stopped wanting love, children and families. But with the rise in popularity of the “blame women for everything” movement + the new freedoms, women did start to naturally shy away from traditional norms. Men hated us for not wanting them, then women hated men for not wanting women, and grifters capitalized on this growing divide by making content that has - quite honestly - RADICALIZED young men that they shouldn’t even try. Women are the enemy. They only want money. But since the world isn’t set up any longer for individual success, then it’s women’s fault, and everything sucks, and why even try? I’d be angry as fuck too. You want to un-radicalize young men? Bring back HOPE. Fix our system. Bring back our unions, bring back workers rights, provide education, support universal healthcare, build affordable housing. Let men and women BOTH know that they will have the tools to succeed in this country if they want to. Because no one has that now. The larger the gap grows, the more workers rights are stripped away in favor of corporate profits, the more hopeless we all become. Men shouldn’t be fighting to take away the rights of women - they should be fighting WITH US to restore opportunity for us ALL. This video touches on how the banner of “conservatism” has been a lie all along, and how “othering” has been so incredibly damaging to our country. STOP blaming us and JOIN us - because we ALL need our country back. Please excuse the frequent pauses, when I recorded this I had just been released from the hospital with pneumonia. 😬
