It’s Election Day, November 5th. 2024,
There are no results yet but I voted in Texas, I voted early and I voted strait Republican. I’m fairly confident of the outcome here in Texas, we’ll re-elect Ted Cruze and the State’s Electoral College Electors will be for Trump/Vance, I hope the Republicans down ballot also benefit.
There are a couple of caveats however. As the State of Texas grows, more and more people migrate here from the Democrat heartlands, East & West coast, Rustbelt and Midwest a few of them, perhaps even a significant number are bringing their politics with them. The very reasons most of them are here is because of the political and social dogs dinner Democrats have created in the States they are fleeing, yet they persist.
Secondly, there is the (appearance) of a substantial gender gap. Obama, a truly flawed President was the first (half) black man to run for the office and in my opinion was elected because of that and his impressive silver tongue. Harris is the first woman to run, she, like Obama has virtually no track-record of substance and claims lots of DEI brownie points for her ‘Minority’ status as being non-white and female. All that compounded by the Boogeyman of ‘Abortion’.
Abortion, Reproductive Rights, A Women’s Right to Choose, whatever it’s called today. Roe v Wade was the work of a progressive and activist SCOTUS, it has been overruled by a subsequent SCOTUS and returned to the States. Leftist/Progressives are trying desperately to construe this as an outright Nationwide ban on abortion, it’s not. The support for unrestricted access to abortion, even at full-term is low but activists have created a false narrative and a political red-herring where none exist.
Strangely, the Leftist/Progressives have opened the border to millions of strangers, unvetted Foreigners, Rapists Murderers and Criminals, (violent or otherwise) and all they would offer in return is unlimited access to abortion for their female victims. They will punish us all for being American, giving these interlopers access to legal status, fast-track Citizenship, and thus create a new, permanent Democrat voting bloc.
A bad result in this Election Cycle could be the beginning of the end for our Republic.
