Downvoted for popularish opinion

This musical short basically covers the feeling for me.

I also think that had a person that many Republicans don't hate had been selected in the primary, then I think Abbott and Cornyn would have been elected to their positions, so I suppose you can thank Trump and his insatiable ego for that.

That said, if in 4 years (so 2 years with buffoon in chief plus 2 years with maybe a Dem president) if conditions can be made materially better, I think there would be better receptivity to Democrats in Texas when it's time to unseat Ted Emergency-Cruise. I think Democrats have to get creative and in certain respects let Trump "feel" like he has a win, end the wars, take on oligarchs, drain the swamp, but give him little prizes and pats on the back as a good boi president, because as much as I hate the guy, he can't run for office anymore. People can compare the domestic terrorism that happened under 2 years of Republican trifecta vs what's to come, the common thread is the party, not Trump. Just DON'T let people's political goldfish brains forget the cruelty Republicans inflicted on them. Investigations on Trump's handlers and cronies can do double duty - keep that fresh in people's minds and keep them away from influencing Trump as much as possible.
