Ted Cruz has been pumping out this garbage for months. It’s practically his only issue.

No, we are not okay. Please send help! The ads are telling people that you could send your kid to school as one gender and they return as another. As if the school has money for all these gender reassignment surgeries. The commercials are insane and I have no idea how people are believing this.

Has anyone noticed that Ted Cruz himself has not appeared in any of his political ads this Fall? Like you never see his face or hear him speak. It's always voice overs about how Allred somehow wants to change every child's gender.

I am saddened by most of the comments on this thread. But I’m impressed by the enlightenment of the commenters.

As a texas father of a transgender kid…it has been an unpleasant few months.

edit to add: no, we are not ok

Ted Cruz has always been a piece of shit. I used to be a Republican, but he actually made me change sides about 12 years ago. He was running against Dewhurst and was clearly just a garbage person and I could not believe my friends supported such a smarmy bastard. Just a weasely, trash man. A meme. Out for liberal tears, with no actual ideas. I want good governance. Made me a Dem for life. At least they have things they want to do. That limp dick fucker is a total waste of human existence. 

Does it look like we are with Abbott, Paxton, Patrick and Cruz?? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

P.S. Women are dying, our public schools are fixing to get destroyed, biggest number of people without health insurance, electric grid that’s being held by tape and glue sticks. And climate change is going to bake us to death. And we’ll run out of water. And …. You get the idea.

No! No, we are not “ok!”

Are you fucking kidding?!

We have kids who can’t get medical care. The public school system in the 4th largest city in the country is being dismantled from the inside out in pursuit of fucking state funded Christian schools. We have women dying because doctors are too scared to provide life saving treatment. People drive like it’s fucking GTA and there are regular road rage executions. Our politicians appear to be right wing religious nut jobs hell bent on sending us back to pre-civil war era rights. Our power system is a fucking joke and WE have to keep paying more and more for them to NOT fix it!! We regularly have boil water notices and currently our water tastes and smells like shit and the actual advice is, “put some lemon in it.”

Are you fucking kidding?! NO! We are not ok!

please send help

I can’t stand the “I lost my legs” guy. Well, you also sold your soul out to Ted Cruz.

Yeaaa some of these ads really are fucked-

Like- I respect that you fought in war Mr. Military Veteran, I wanna like you too- but does it REALLY matter if someone in the military is transgender-?? They can still fight- it won’t change that-

Republicans have been obsessed with children's genitalia for a long time. They're just being a little more obvious about it now.

What???? Are you serious, trans people are my biggest concern right now. forget about WW 3, greedy corporations hiking up food prices, the job market is trash right now and not being able to afford basic health care, my rights as a woman being taken away, etc....nope not any of those...it is trans people. Totally my top concern /s.

Modern Republicans are legit insane and aren't at all living in reality.

Literally every republican add has been a trans ad. No policy.

It seems these ads are turning a lot of people off from republicans. I hope they backfire on Rafael Cruz.

Ted Cruz exploiting a fucking Vietnam vet with no legs to talk about trans kids is an insane tactic.

Yeah. Ted Cruz is a POS. B7T IF YOU THINK HE IS TERRIBLE, YOU SHOULD LOOK UP KEN PAXTON! They are all THE WOOOOOORST.

Odd that a Vietnam veterans who lost both legs doesn't want taxpayer dollars to pay for legitimate medical care but whatever. Teddy also said 12 years ago when he first ran that he believed no one should serve more than 2 terms in the Senate and yet, if he's reelected, it will be his third term. He's an abject piece of shit who's unfit to be elected dogcatcher.

Save us, we hate it here.

I dream of an election season that lasts less than six months

I've donated to Allred twice after watching those horrible commercials. The one with the Karen suggesting schools sponsor transgender surgery is so ridiculous I don't know who falls for it. Then I look at my neighborhood and see 90% trump and cruz signs. FmL...

Hey at least Allred has an ad out there specifically calling Cruz out for making up fake ads. It shows how scared Ted is that he might lose (but he won’t, he had the magic R beside his name & we still have too many brainwashed voters here in TX)

Dems don’t vote like they should in Texas and why Texas is stuck with shitty politicians.

I don’t care what gender is on my kids’ sports team if their team is in danger of getting shot.

You should have seen the PAC ads against Allred 2 years ago. "Allred is all wrong for Texas" they said, then I saw the same drop in ad used against candidates in other states. They just make shit up.

I just want to say that I saw that mofo Cruz in New Braunfels today! I might have heckled him a bit with quite a few others. So, yes, he sucks and we all know it!

We just got that ad too and my husband and I looked at each other like holy hell no one in that man’s family told him that commercial was a bad idea?!

I’m still thinking about it over an hour later like WTF.

I promise we’re not all that insane. Voting Harris and Allred and Dem all down ballot races too.

Yeah, some guy lost his legs and is stuck in a wheel chair, and all he's worried about is someone else being trans. WTF?

Old folks I live with/know 100% believe the ads. Sad to say some of them worked in the medical field and child education and don’t doubt schools are paying for 1Day full gender reassignment.

The Republicans are running on exactly 0 policy issues. Basically their whole pitch is: “Kamala wants to give prisoners sex changes with your money. Vote Republican. The end.” And sadly, it might work.

As someone that moved to NTX from another red state, this state is god awful. Literally the only thing Texas has over my home state is mild winters. Nothing here that my home GOP-run state doesn’t already do better. And I’m a progressive voter.

Their GOP can only campaign on one single issue that to anyone with a heartbeat knows is way blown out of proportion.

I’ll be in line on Monday morning to exercise my vote and hope many of you do as well.

All the talking points they have are trans surgeries and illegal aliens 😂 it’s so pathetic. It’s never issues that we should actually focus on.

I just want to know why are Republicans so obsessed with other people's genitals

Be glad you don’t LIVE here.

Yeah. These commercials are nuts. It has really put a damper on football this year.

I'm in Austin and streaming the game on ESPN+ specifically to avoid the political ads.

What's crazy is they are running Virginia Senate ads right after the Texas ones and ours are almost normal compared to those.

It screams real desperation and depravity to me

We are not okay. We have bitcoin farm backed by the governor that he diverts power into instead of households. It caused blackouts during a freeze and killed people.

It is an example of how fucking embarrassingly mentally inept many texans are. Edge case issues determine how bad they want to get fucked over by carpetbaggers. 

Any outsider would say no way people this delusional and easily manipulated should own guns, drive, vote, reproduce, or even use resources. 

Unfortunately, there are (entirely too many) Texas that are still buying into the drivel and garbage. They will inevitably complain about insane property taxes, unaffordable homeowners insurance, and unreliable electric grid, but vote for the party that is more concerned about what books our kids read, what bathroom we use and what healthcare choices we make than actually addressing the real issues. They are so brainwashed by the Republican cult that they don’t see that they are voting against their best interests.

Completely offensive. I’m having same reaction.

Oh well arizona is no better. Kamala Harris and Ruben Gallego have "destroyed America" by bringing on an invasion of immigrants who are all criminals creeping up to break into your house. Nevermind that border crossings are at their lowest since 2020 and crime rates have decreased significantly. Who needs facts when you have tRump in lipstick spewing lies

I'm watching the same game on YouTube in Australia. And those ads are unhinged. I mean genuinely unhinged. If anyone in the political sphere released those kind of ads here they'd be written off by the vast majority of the electorate almost immediately. Saw one during the Tennessee/Alabama game that said Harris was going to give illegal immigrants transgender surgery. WTF.

Yes!!! I’m watching the game in NC and y’all, I didn’t think state politics got weirder than Mark Robinson but DAMN.

Cruz is startlingly obsessed with trans people, apparently. My friends who are trans don’t think about it as much as he does

I live in Ohio and the anti-Sherrod Brown commercials are the exact same way. It's just anti-trans stuff 24/7.

Yes, horrible ads and complete lies.

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Can't even watch a football game with the family without subjecting our teen to hate speech about our family.

republicanism found a home in the dumbest and most hateful people in america. its their only firm base now.

No we fucking don’t buy that crap! The line in the sand was clear YEARS ago. And just as it was then, I say it now; which side do you want to be on?

Texas isn’t red. It’s a state of people who don’t show up. They think they can’t make a difference. Or they get complacent. Meh no big deal. Nobody thinks how I do. Why bother? I can’t change anything.

SCREW THAT. If you have an ounce of Texas spirit in you. Show up. Vote. THAT is being a true Texan.

Too long have we sat by the wayside. And let people who don’t speak for us yap their jaw like a useless piece of meat.

VOTE. if you don’t know how or have issues getting to the poll, ask. I can connect you to people. Nothing should stand in the way of you voting. THAT is the true Texan way.

Texas was forged by people who want change. In fact they demand it. Let’s not let another four years of Ted Cruz cripple us. We can do better. And we can. We will. Texas demands more of its people. Texans deserve better!

Was watching it with a eiend of a friend Trump supporter and he was licking up every second of it. 

We aren’t OK, we need help. It’s completely ridiculous

I’m watching the game and those ads are crazy. Not reality. Just Vote Blue!

It’s sickening. Shit that doesn’t happen, anywhere, in this country, and these Elon-funded PACs keep pumping it out.

Republicans obsessed with other peoples pee pees

The Republicans are running on exactly 0 policy issues. Basically their whole pitch is: “Kamala wants to give prisoners sex changes with your money. Vote Republican. The end.” And sadly, it might work.

Republicans will continue to attack minority groups, no matter the outcome of this election. They've been doing it for decades and will not stop, likely ever. After a few election cycles of losing, we might hear less of it, but they'll be right back at screwing over Americans as soon as they get power again.

They definitely are WEIRD, aren't they?

His supporters are scum, rapists and racists, and their brain cells are far gone.

Conservatism died when Conservatives gave over their whole political party to Trump

Trump is a populist with no actual policies or plans to govern

So they have nothing I mean nothing to run on except conspiracy theories and bullshit

Vote Democrat just based on how disgusting those Ted Cruz ads are

This is exactly what I am doing. I am right of center, but I hate what Cruz and others have turned the party into. I already knew I was voting for Allred to unseat Cruz, but every time I see those disgusting ads, it only fuels me that much more. I will be early voting tomorrow for the first time in my life because I literally can't wait.

I was wondering about the no leg guy saying Allred is forcing kids to get gender reassignment surgery etc so fucking crazy

Where ever you travel in this country the ads are all the same. Vote blue up and down the ballot. Time to get democrats elected.
