“The future of the Democrat Party is at stake down in South Texas.”
I think south Texas is just a microcosm of what is happening or will be happening with the Dims natioanlly.
But I think in terms of ruling clout nationally it is the “progressives” (Marxists who wear a “Liberal” or “Progressive” badge) that will prevail and run the party nationally. They will have the activist energy the moderates lack and they will work harder and spend more promoting their candidates (pro abortion, pro open boreders [disguised as pro “immigrants”], pro “green” policies at all costs, ect.). The moderates will try to focus on real issues - fuel and energy costs, inflation, jobs, schools) but their own audience among Dim voters is going to hear better ideas on those things from the GOP.
The Dims are moving as the Marxists who have been subverting them for over half a century always planned. It would not be a surprise to see them renaming themselves as outright “socialists”.
Texas Hispanic Dems are more pro business, pro family, and pro God than Dems elsewhere. And the majority DO NOT want the border being erased.
