Talarico doesn't live in Texas; he lives in "Texasland," which is one of the theme parks in the democrat party's imaginary America. It is a fiction that the democrats have ginned up in order to, once again, pull the wool over the eyes of the "undecided/independent voter." He is just like the corrupt buffoon Walz, who the party thought it could palm of as a "normal American dad," or Hillary, who was portrayed as a devoted wife. And we can't forget Joe Biden, "Lunchbucket Joe," the straight-talking everyman and devoted dad. Clearly, Talarico will have the votes of the leftwing democrats and Paxton has the votes of all the republicans, so the democrat party is engaging in its usual pre-election strategy, which consists of lies, prevarications, untruths, half-truths and fabrications which is intended to get its candidate elected so that its actual agenda can be implemented. Talarico is that candidate, so now he must do his utmost to portray himself as the reasonable, "middle of the road", kindly and caring Dr. Jekyll in the hopes he can pull it off long enough to get the rubes to vote for him so he can become the Mr. Hyde he truly is. If one requires a further example, once can look to Virginia, where Spanberger ran as a "moderate" and immediately took a hard left upon reciting the oath of office. Expect nothing different should, by some horrible twist of fate Talarico get into office.

What are Spanberger's "hard left" surprises?

Silent scorn's avatar

Abigail Spanberger campaigned as a pragmatic centrist on issues like public safety, energy, and government transparency, but she has since pursued progressive policies. Critics and moderate supporters argue her stances have shifted notably left on key issues:Immigration and Law Enforcement: As a former CIA officer, she campaigned heavily on her law enforcement background. However, her administration moved to end data-sharing agreements between Virginia state police and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).Climate and Energy: She ran on economic affordability but signed legislation returning Virginia to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)—a multi-state cap-and-trade carbon tax. Opponents point out this move substantially increases electricity costs for working families and energy-intensive industries.Redistricting: During her congressional campaigns, she frequently advocated against partisan gerrymandering, calling it "destructive to democracy". Critics later accused her of abandoning these principles when she supported new legislative and congressional maps favoring Democrats.Gun Control: While previously aligning with moderate stances on Second Amendment issues, she has consistently supported and signed bans and restrictions on assault weapons.Education and Social Issues: In the cultural sphere, she moved left by opposing the Youngkin administration’s policies requiring students to use bathrooms that correspond to their sex assigned at birth and mandating teachers to use biological pronouns. She also voted against the federal Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act in 2023.

Next time tell your AI to punctuate, and use these things called "paragraphs."

None of that contradicts what she ran on - and your AI dredged up 3 year old stuff. Read the slop before you paste it.

Silent scorn's avatar

1. No

2. What difference does it make if she pivoted left yesterday or a year ago? She still pivoted and continues to do so.

3. You bitch and moan if you don’t get a response and then bitch when you do. Troll.

MAHArd's avatar

It's not a PIVOT when her positions haven't really changed.

There's only one whining bitch here.

Your profile shows you to be a conspiracy-addled unawarewolf.

Alfalfa's avatar

"... CONSISTENTLY supported .... restrictions on assault rifles ..." - Not a "hard left turn" - That's where she was.

" ...she moved left by opposing the Youngkin administration’s policies requiring students to use bathrooms that correspond to their sex assigned at birth ..." --- No "move" - that's where she was.

"administration moved to end data-sharing agreements between VSP and the ICE" - Why would that be?

"she frequently advocated against partisan gerrymandering, calling it "destructive to democracy". Critics later accused her of abandoning these principles when she supported new legislative and congressional maps favoring Democrats" - Who kicked that off, Tex?

"She ran on economic affordability but signed legislation returning Virginia to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI)—a multi-state cap-and-trade carbon tax. Opponents point out this move substantially increases electricity costs for working families and energy-intensive" - It doesn't, but SLOP ME HARDER

Kathy Christian's avatar

How can a cap and trade carbon tax not cost people more in electricity?

Alfalfa's avatar

Virginia’s current situation is more heavily influenced by transmission expansion and utility capital spending due to increasingly massive data center electricity demand,

Rejoining the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, preservation of the Virginia Clean Economy Act, new distributed solar policies, more battery storage and continued offshore wind development will produce a mix of effects rather than a simple “prices up” or “prices down” outcome.

Elizabeth Sexworth's avatar

Seriously it’s not a “shift” when the change has the day after the election. She lied.

Nj's avatar

She ran as "moderate", then as soon as she got elected put in a lot of left wing policies. I know. I live in VA.

MAHArd's avatar

You can't even be bothered to attempt to respond.

Silent scorn's avatar

This is great. Talarico is an AI creation of what democrats think a masculine Christian should look and sound like.

Ruth H's avatar

As usual, Democrats’ version of masculine and Christian is way off base. Just like Dems thought Walz was the masculine one 🤮. Of course Dems cannot define what a woman is, so they really are just as stupid about everything else.

John Wygertz's avatar

I hope Talarico loses as badly as Cornyn.

Roxanne Sitler's avatar

Talarico isn’t speaking biblical truths. He’s spewing heresy.

Simbro Fatarzo's avatar

Lmao

Saying God has a gender is actually heresy

You're saying God is small and definable by the mind of man

Major, gigantic heresy

Classical Christian theology is just that, pleasing to the moment. We have the Bible, what does it say? God made man, then He he made woman from man, a distinct and separate being down to the very genetic. Jesus is God. Jesus is male. The Holy Spirit is described in masculine pronouns. God said "made in our image" so I'm going with the Bible on this one.

Wow, so many trolls today. You must be over the target Alexander! Would someone please tell me how to hide their comments?

JenniferS's avatar

Click on their avatar, or set of default circles; then click (or possibly right click) on the three little dots you see at the right, whereupon a menu will show up including "block."

Yes I blocked these trolls already

Charlie Curran, creator of the famous Spencer Pratt videos, could have a field day with this guy! So much nonsense to work with! And the Babylon Bee as well!

The guy is an absolute clown in all his fake pious pomposity.

How anyone can listen to him for more than five minutes without needing to puke is beyond me.

Ike Yeadon's avatar

Cultists and bots will love more of Charlie's slop.

Rurt kingle's avatar

Maybe we could package him & sell this BS as a new diet plan!

Alfalfa's avatar

You merely described magaworld's faux-religiosity - and pandering to the most gullibly hypocritical "Christians:"

"... not, in any sense his own constituents would recognize, faith-based. It is faith-themed. The distinction matters. A faith-based candidacy proceeds from the content of a shared religion and applies it to public questions. A faith-themed candidacy borrows the vocabulary, the cadence, the imagery of religion while quietly emptying it of the things that make it that religion rather than some other one, or none at all."

Silent scorn's avatar

As a Christian who is what people call MAGA, that’s so offensive and such a broad stroke of a brush over a diverse group of people who support the president. Your words are condescending and that makes you just another irrelevant person commenting on what they do not understand.

Alfalfa's avatar

Alex offensively used those words with such a broad stroke over such a diverse group of people. Merely because they don’t worship your God-Emperor.

Kathy Christian's avatar

Maybe you'd be happier on a democrat chat app. The people here don't seem to agree with you.

Alfalfa's avatar

Sick burn, parrot!

Brandy's avatar

I don't think so. The difference is that “MAGA” reads all of the words and refuses to throw away the ones that don't fit modern ideology.

Alfalfa's avatar

In which universe is that? Your "ideology" is OrangeBaby's latest tantrum. Nothing's more "modern" than that - y'all.

Kathy Christian's avatar

Coming from a party that can't define male or female, that's funny.

Mary Makary's avatar

"... the party set aside two black candidates who, on paper, had every claim to the nomination."

More preposterous contentions. A snarky comment by Talarico out Allred aside? After he had already won the nomination and lost the general 18 months prior.

And Crockett didn't run in the statewide primary?

This whole piece is weak, even by AlexAnemia's usual "standards."

Silent scorn's avatar

I watched democrats groom Talarico to replace Crockett because he was in their opinion more electable in Texas. I saw a clip of Crockett admitting that she knew what was happening.

Alfalfa's avatar

There was an “electability” argument inside Texas Democratic circles. Multiple reports described concerns about whether Crockett’s confrontational national profile, and race/gender dynamics in Texas statewide politics, would hurt in a general election.

But there's no evidence that Democratic leadership formally “groomed” Talarico to replace Crockett in any coordinated way.

So what?

c Anderson's avatar

I saw that too. They swapped out Crockett and she knew they did it because she sounded too radical for Texas voters who are the “Belt Buckle” of the “Bible Belt.” Radical Democrats think they have Texans figured out. A funny ad that Dan Bongino played demonstrates how out of touch with reality the Democrat party leaders behind Talarico are: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1gpcuEXY63g&ra=m

Silent scorn's avatar

Omg that’s funny. Talarico is apparently incapable of reading the audience 🤣

No Ken Paxton has a big problem.

Brandy's avatar

😆 I hope Democrats believe that and do exactly what they did to Trump. People believe he was railroaded because he was like Trump.

Simbro Fatarzo's avatar

Do you believe one day in prison is an appropriate sentence for a child rapist who continuously raped his six year old victim for three years?

Ken Paxton thinks so

Brandy's avatar

No. I just don’t think bringing a child in to testify and relive the nightmare over and over is again is my call. I wouldn’t do it to my kid if that’s what it took and I can’t ask that of another.

BB's avatar

Only Republicans. In the general election everyone votes not just Republicans do in a run off.

Nj's avatar

So did Cornyn.

Ike Yeadon's avatar

Why would anyone care to read Muse's "Catholic doctrinal evaluation .." of anything?

c Anderson's avatar

You are right, it is way above your ability to comprehend the scriptural context of anything if you haven’t read scripture.

James Arthur's avatar

Talarico is not just your run of the mill false prophet, he is something worse. Be wise, Texans!

Alfalfa's avatar

Talarico makes no such claim, unlike Orange and his worshippers.

You watched clips of Talarico calling himself a prophet? Please share ...

Has he said, "I alone can fix America," and "I alone can save America." (starting at 2016 RNC, through present)

Or claimed he was "Saved by God to make America great again" (July 2024 to present)

Or repeatedly labeled himself “the chosen one” and “anointed by God,” in tweet after tweet, and interview and speech.

Or repeatedly shared imagery and "rally" banners portraying himself with halos, Christ-like imagery and other divine symbolism.

Or put out a "God made Trump" video - (https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-shares-video-depicting-him-an-instrument-god-2024-01-16/)

How many more would you like?

Nj's avatar

I would not say that Talarico is a REAL Christian. Presbyterian church has gone whacko. I was brought up in it and Methodist years ago. But he is telling lies.

MAHArd's avatar

I would not say that you're a REAL anything.

Nj's avatar

You don't even know me. I'm a real person with an opinion.

MAHArd's avatar

Fair enough. Your opinion of someone's Christianity is irrelevant to anyone (but amusing).

Kathy Christian's avatar

It seems you're only here to harass people. Yes, we know you don't like Trump. You've made that clear over and over and over and over. Good for you. Maybe you'd be happier somewhere else.

Kathy Christian's avatar

Talarico is anything but Christian.

Rich Zeck's avatar

Worth the read. This is truly what they believe and it is frightening.

David Parnell's avatar

He’s PCUSA. They’re a political party masquerading as a church.

c Anderson's avatar

The names who are behind Talarico are the typical radical leftists, in particular LinkedIn Reid Hoffman, and the 30 or so billionaires behind the Sixteen Thirty Fund, and of course Sunflower Services/Arabella Network which gives large pass-through grants without full donor transparency. Talarico boasts of small direct donations through ActBlue. It looks like about half of his finances. Wonder if Talarico will have the ActBlue funny money finance issue Jasmine Crockett had? 💸 Lots of cash floating into that offering plate.

Praise Dear Leader's avatar

Culture warring zealots Tim Dunn, Faris Wilks, Jonathan Stickland, Defend Texas Liberty PAC, West Texas oil and money from Douglas Scharbauer, the Deason family, and Gary Heavin,

c Anderson's avatar

These people actually work to make the PAC go because they are not formed as a dark money organization and they are not tax-exempt. Talarico’s cash comes from NGO grants. Crockett had her little problem with illegal cash donations from ActBlue, but we shall see if Talarico gets away with the same game plan.

Ike Yeadon's avatar

They all fund "dark money" and your "NGO grants" dog whistle is nonsense. Crockett has some, unsubstantiated vague allegation originating in the rightwing media cesspool. Do you really want to go there? On behalf of your how many times indicted candidate?

S.P.H.'s avatar

I think most of Act Blue administrators have fled the country...
