I don’t live in Texas, but I was under the impression generally that Republicans actually ran on inflation plus culture war issues last time. And Johnson justified passing their terrible budget bill by saying that Democrats became too extreme and so voters rejected them.
So my question is, were Republicans relentlessly focused on kitchen table issues in Texas last year?
Agree, Dave Carney is a ruthless cutthroat operative and he knows how to spread that propaganda like wildfire: have to put ads and digitally combat them too, hard work alone stumping won’t do it if there isn’t aggression in the latter— that’s a fair criticism, can’t expect people to hear you out if all they’re hearing is, “JOE BIDEN DID THIS, HE DID THIS, HE’LL BE THE SAME AS HIMMMMMMM, OPEN BORDERS OPEN BORDERS ILLEGALS RAPING WOMEN HIGHER GAS PRICES INFLATION BIDENFLATION BETOFLATION EVEN THOUGH HE’S NOT EVEN IN OFFICE BECAUSE HE’S GOING TO BE LIKE BIDEN HARRISFLATION ALLRED FLIP FLOPS ON EVERYTHING EVERYTHING ARGH ARGH ARGH DEMOCRATS ARE BABY KILLING MONSTERS DEMS WILL TAKE ALL THE GUNS” etc. is all they’re hearing from Sinclair via Fox News in these rural areas.
They will resort to anything to win, anything, Abbott and Carney are expert at gaslighting and taught their underlings Cruz, Cornyn, hell the entire GOP nationally how to do this ruthless propaganda. If you keep mute on this hoping people will be able to see past it, they won’t, and they’ll define you before you can define yourself, cannot give just policy platforms out or rallies and hope that’ll work on its own.
I thought this piece was great. Thank you
