Well, it appears that Texas is remaining awfully red. At least for the next four years or so, anyway.
With the results of last night’s elections leaning quite heavily in favor of Texas Republicans, quite a few of the folks who were aiming to turn Texas blue took to Twitter to voice their frustrations.
We love a good vent — especially on social media — and so many of the Dems’ responses were too clever to pass up. So we’ve compiled some of the best to help you ease those blue-blooded wounds this morning.
But don’t worry. There’s more.
While we were trolling our Twitter timelines for reactions that measured up to comedic gold, we came across some of the worst sore winner comments we’ve ever seen, and because we were kind of horrified, we’ve thrown some in for good measure. Fair is fair, right?
Here’s to four more years, folks.
Guess it’s time to go to bed – for about 4 yrs. @GregAbbott_TX elected Texas Governor. #TexasElections

And here we were, hoping for just five more minutes of sleep. We’re obviously underachievers.
There is a flash flood warning in Austin tonight and it’s obviously because God is sobbing for Texas. #Election2014 #TexasElections

Truth.
I look forward to a new generation of Texas schoolchildren learning how Jesus was friends with the dinosaurs. #TexasElections

That book does sound exciting, though.
Greg Abbott & Dan Patrick??? How the fuck is it I even live in this state? #TexasElections

Ooh! Plotting! Can we join?
Come on #TexasElections. #WendyDavis wore a Wu-Tang shirt to vote. What other proof do you need that she’s the best choice for governor?
— TravisYork (@Travexas) November 5, 2014
🙁 Wu-Tang and Wendy 4eva, right?
Anyone got a spare room up in Canada? *sideways glance at #TexasElections results*

But…but…you’ll need a parka! Do they even sell those here?
And, of course, we have the very worst. Just maybe brace yourselves, a’ight?
Wendy Davis can’t help it,she was born with a silver IUD in her mouth……. #pjnet #TexasElections
— Sardine Pundit (@SardinePundit) November 5, 2014
Really, now? How would that even work?
Thank God I don’t have to listen to Wendy Davis as governor of Texas w/her horrendous speech impediment #TexasElections
— Jesus Martinez (@PP_CFC1905) November 5, 2014
Not sure what this means, but sure. Maybe it’s from the silver IUD in her mouth.
@WendyDavisTexas guess your campaign was merely an unviable tissue mass… Lace up the pink tennies and hit the road. #TexasElections
— Holly Piltra (@Holly_Piltra) November 5, 2014
Ugh. But we like pink tennies.
Now @WendyDavisTexas please report back to your nearest abortion clinic in your used vagina costume
❤️ #Texas #TexasElections #TexasIsRed

Also makes no sense. Are there actual vagina costumes that exist in real life? And what, pray tell, are they used for?
Wendy Davis didn’t lose her semi-good looks, so that’s all that matters. #TexasElections
— A$AP Bobby (@DeerBobTX) November 5, 2014
Because when it comes to looks, well, Abbott obviously takes the pageant cake. Misogyny fail.
Wendy Davis, abortion Queen flash in the pan, has had her 15 minutes bye bye!
*flush*

#quoteoftheday “Abortion Barbie sent to sulk in dollhouse” Davis Defeated! #TexasElections #TheBlaze2014
— Personal SR (@StacyRippy) November 5, 2014
There is no such thing as this type of Barbie, folks. But there is a dollhouse. Not an abortion dollhouse, though.
It’s been called: Wendy Davis has been aborted by the state of Texas. #TexasElections #FoxNews #TeaParty #GregAbbott
