In deep-red Texas, the Democrats have chosen a Senate candidate whose Christian faith the party hopes will be a potent weapon, but whose unorthodox views range from God is nonbinary to there are six sexes.

“God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between,” said James Talarico, a state representative and, now, the Democratic nominee for Senate. “God is nonbinary.”

Progressive Christianity may be a hard sell
The statement is part of dozens of claims about God, Christianity, and morality that Talarico has made on the campaign trail, and before he ran for higher office, geared towards “[reclaiming] Christianity for the left.”

Talarico is currently a seminary student and affiliated with the PCUSA, a liberal Presbyterian denomination.

The Democrats see Talarico’s firebrand, progressive Christianity as a promising tool to help flip Texas blue. But, Republicans were quick to jump on Talarico’s statements, with the subtext that he is unfit for a relatively religious state traditionally considered part of the nation’s Bible Belt.

Yet more proof that the Rats have become a religious cult.

Thanks Ranger...  with your blessing, I'm cut/pasting this over to the TX- Talarico file

I can't see Texas ever electing this Tancredo weirdo to Congress - he's a sanctimonious moon bat from Austin. Not impressed at all with his beating that fake ghetto lady in the primary but a few years ago, James was whining about his while privilege so he ought to hand the nomination to Jas. Somehow to me (could be the heresy) she is less offensive, no easy task.

Fishrrman's "Texas reality check™" prediction:

This guy talarico is gonna do far better than expected.
He probably won't win.
But he's going to get pretty durn close.

Texas... is changing.
Like it or not.
It's becoming "browner" and more muslim.

Just did a search, and found this:
========================
Key Demographic Statistics (Texas, 2024 Estimates)
Total Population: 31,290,831 (July 1, 2024 estimate).
Hispanic or Latino: 40.3% (can be of any race).
White alone (including Hispanic): 76.2%.
White alone, not Hispanic or Latino: 38.7%.
Black or African American alone: 13.7%.
Asian alone: 6.4%.
Two or More Races: 2.4%.
Population under 18 years: 24.5% of total.
Population under 5 years: 6.3% of total.

What sticks out:
"White alone, not Hispanic or Latino: 38.7%."

Also:
====
"In 2023, Texas recorded 387,945 live births with a fertility rate of 60.6 per 1,000 women ages 15-44, which remains above the national average of 1.66 children per woman.  Between 2021 and 2023, the racial and ethnic breakdown of these births averaged 48.7% Hispanic, 31.7% White, 12.3% Black, 5.5% Asian/Pacific Islander, and 0.2% American Indian/Alaska Native. "

So... hispanic birthrates are increasing as white birthrates are in decline.

They're demographics.
You can't argue with demographics.

Briefer Texans, enjoy what you have now.
Because down there, the times they are a-changin'.

talarico won't win today.
But before much longer, someone not that different from him WILL run... and win.
