People don't give enough credit to Texas Governor Abbott for his brilliant plan to bus illegals from border areas in Texas to 'blue' cities. This move completely flipped the immigration narrative. The cries of 'racist Republicans!' now ring hollow as Dems are screaming at Biden to 'do something about the border crisis!' These are the same Dems who for years insisted the border crisis was 'imaginary'. Those who claimed conservative were 'afraid of brown people in their neighborhoods' are now themselves demanding that brown people not be settled in their neighborhoods.
This whole thing has stripped away the veil of enemy media disinformation and brainwashing on this issue. The Dem narrative has blown up in their faces. And that's going to have a significant impact on the 2024 election and beyond. It's also helped disempower the race pimps selling hatred and division. But most of all it's touched Dem voters personally in a way they can't just block out. It's delivered actual consequences for their actions to them for the first time. And they're hating it.
The hard left regressives won't change. But they don't decide elections. Independent voters do. They are the ones who are most likely to have changed their minds after seeing this unfold before their eyes. The Hamas attack has also raised a whole lot of well justified concerns about our open borders, something people just shrugged about only a couple days ago. The stories of dozens if not hundreds of people on the terrorist watch list crossing our southern border into the U.S. have taken on an ominous new significance.
The leftist Dem narrative is collapsing. But we need more proactive strategies like Governor Abbott's one on the border issue. The Repub national establishment is worse than useless. It's only interested in preserving its own power, not saving America. The real change is coming from below, from creative Repubs at the state and local level. And from those mavericks willing to challenge the status quo, like Representative Matt Gaetz. That's where our hope lies. That's where we can personally get involved and help. Because if we lose big in 2024 we're done. Everything is on the line. We must do what we can and support those fighting the good fight on our behalf. Time for us to step up.
💯 agree and well said!
