Will Republicans Blow It in Red States?
Derek Hunter


The primary elections on Tuesday went pretty much as expected – the white guy in Texas that the Democrat establishment favored beat the black lady, whom rich white liberals were convinced other non-rich white liberals wouldn’t vote for. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t lessons to be learned or warnings to heed from it. So, let’s take a look at some of them, shall we?

First, white Democrats in Texas really don’t like black women. Actually, black candidates at all. They don’t support them statewide, running for the ambiguously gay “evangelical” white guy “pastor” who spends an uncomfortably awkward amount of time talking about “trans kids” and abortion. I’ve been to a lot of Catholic churches and heard a lot of sermons from “progressive” priests and I’ve never heard any of them try to make the case that God makes lots of mistakes when it comes to creating individual human beings the way James Talarico does.

In fairness, Talarico, the Democrat nominee for Senate in Texas as of Tuesday night, isn’t a Catholic. However, I’m unfamiliar with any sect of Christianity that is predicated on God being a bit of a screw-up, confused about which part goes where when assembling humans. Nor do I know any faith that argues God created abortion to correct the mistakes of pregnancy He never intended. But then I haven’t really spent a lot of time researching weird cults like progressive Christianity.

That doesn’t mean that Talarico is gay, nor does his not being married – and, honestly, I couldn’t care less as I’m opposed to what his politics are, regardless of his sexuality. His politics and policy proposals, not to mention the fact that he is pot-committed to genital mutilation of children and open borders, should be enough to ensure he goes down, no matter how enthusiastically Rachel Maddow extols his virtues.

Republicans are blowing it in Congress.

If Texas elects anyone other than Ken Paxton to the U. S. Senate, they have blown it entirely IMHO.

Well, IIRC, most red states require voter ID.

“A democratic republic is a difficult thing to operate because it requires you to do a lot of work very often. You are the people who vote. You are the people who study the candidates, ask the questions, study their votes, listen to what they say, listen to what is reported, look at the official records, talk, engage, block, walk, call, post, and you are the reason that we get a pulse of the people. Especially at the primary level, your vote is an exponential multiplier of the will of the people. And so, the celebrations, the names in the headlines, the reports that are published won't include your name. For every single one of you and all the hard work you do, thank you. Bravo, well done. Whether you won or not, most people choose not to engage. And especially if you are a person that doesn't get paid, this is a game for a lot of people. And that's how you end up with bad government. That's how you end up with self-dealing elected officials. That's how you end up with incumbents that typically cannot be beaten. And so much cash that they just drown the opposition. In fact, in most cases, scaring off the opposition. So thank you that you do that. If you are a person who ran in this election, whether for the highest profile positions like Ken Paxton to have the worst things said about you, and they will get much worse. Trust me, they will accuse him, they will drag him. Anything they can do to keep you from looking at John Cornyn's record as a United States Senator, they will do. And many people will fall prey to it. It will be a challenge. But they will do that. All the way down to the precinct chairman level. If you ran, whether you won or not, your willingness to get in there, your willingness to have people say horrible things about you on social media, at town halls, over the back fences and the clotheslines and the phone calls, if you didn't do this, the process wouldn't work. So, thank you.”
