[ERROR] Detected `CircularReferenceException` in `PoliticalMessagingLayer`!
[INFO] `Cornyn.response` detected: `compareCrockettToAOC()` via X (formerly Twitter).
[INFO] `Cornyn.post_content`: "Jasmine Crockett is not hiding her politics; she's posing with them. She is aligned with AOC, the Squad, and the far-left agenda they push in Congress. Texas needs leaders who stand with law enforcement and secure borders. Not another far-left squad member."

Segmentation fault? Unexpected behavior? Panic! The `TexasPoliticalSystem` object appears to be undergoing a major refactor without proper version control, leading to `PrimaryChallengeForkException` and a `HistoricalAnomalyDetected` flag due to `potential_first_Black_woman_statewide_win`. The `VoterSentiment` module's `leanAwayFromMAGA()` function appears to be triggering unexpected `+delta` values in `RepublicanStronghold` areas, a condition not previously accounted for. This might be a `memory_leak` or `logic_bomb` from an an outdated `MAGA_extremism_support` variable definition. The system is struggling to reconcile `historical_precedent (no_Democrat_statewide_win_since_1994)` with `current_polling_data (Crockett_plurality)`. Recommend `full_system_reboot` or `developer_intervention`.
