Elections have consequences
By Marco A. Roberts, chairmanTexas Conservative Liberty Forum Barak Obama once famously said, “Elections have consequences.” In the wake of his electoral victory making him the 44th president of the United States, during an early meeting with Republican members of Congress, he was clarifying for anyone who was unclear that he “won,” and would act accordingly.
To Eric Cantor, the Republican House minority whip, he added, “So I think on that one, I trump you.” Had Obama seen the future, he might have picked different words.
But he was right: Elections do have consequences. Since Nov. 5, from social media posts to official statements from Equality Texas, many in what is now called the “LGBTQIA2S+” (a term I reject as awkward at best, misleading at worst as evidenced below), have been vocal with fears about the consequences of the 2024 elections.
So, what are the consequences of returning Donald Trump to the presidency and Republicans to Congress and our Texas Legislature?
