You are naive. I was too. If someone told me that a guy like Talarico would even have the slightest chance to become a senator from Texas even 10-15 years ago I would have laughed in your face. Things change very quickly. Louisiana just had a two term dem governor and may just end up with a dem senator due to this ‘take it for granted’ mentality. It can and probably will happen here too. The Republican Party and its entire operation is an absolute joke. It’s a damned shame, and it seems intentional.

Strong post.

The take it for granted aspect is very real in Texas.

Latinos are pissed off big time that Texas allowed ICE to arrest 10-20 year residents and gut all of the labor force in the RGV.

It was a betrayal, because they voted for Border Control. Not overt racism of established hard working locals and even citizens.
