This isn't fair. Only Assistant Democrats should be allowed to run for office as Republicans!

Considering the quality of education we are paying for today-—I am in favor of school vouchers.

They want to break public education and go to school vouchers.

Oh the horror!

You mean they want to allow parents to get back part of the money taken from them at gun point and decide how it should be used to educate their children?

The absolute fiend!

They must be.... well, I would support that, but for someone who LIKES the kiddy prison and Pedophiles (aka teachers) union I am sure it is something too terrible to be even thought about.

We’re not paying for education. We are paying to support rat party operatives.

And we’re paying for schools to indoctrinate children with Communism, sexual perversion and the desire to mutilate themselves, all the while teaching them almost nothing regarding reading, writing and arithmetic.

Los Angeles worried about Texas? Seems to me they got a big enough mess out there to worry about without trying to figure out and tell people in Texas what’s going on in Texas.

We want no part of what Los Angeles and California are. This is made up baloney.

I’ll bet all these “rock-ribbed conservatives” who feel like the “far right” are ruining their party are also dead set against “Project 2025” and view it as extremist and divisive in the same way the Leftists do.

I became very curious about it and did more than 99% of the people who rail about how it is the second coming of “Mein Kampf”, I actually downloaded a copy and read about 500 pages into it.

My intention was to pull out the salient points and list them in a spreadsheet, but after reading and making notes on half the document, I found out I could not tease all those sections back out in any easy way, so I gave it up.

But what I found out in those 500 or so pages I read was that there is nothing wrong (from a conservative perspective) with that document. And, to the contrary, there was a lot to like about it. (I have since come to believe Conservatives who buy into this concept it is an evil document it are making the usual mistake of buying into the Leftist talking points, because few to none of them have actually read it.)

But one of the “evil” things I read was the recommendation to eliminate the Department of Education.

provoked a battle for the identity of the Republican Party.

I'm surprised to hear that the GOP even has an identity to fight over.

Texas is NOT California.


The Far right the author talks about is anything not connected to the Bush side of Texas politics.

There was a time when Bush carried a lot of weight, that is long gone. Because of the Globalists in his group.

When I was young, NOBODY was a Republican. That lasted 150 years. (I am 76, have never been a Democrat, my first ballot was cast for Richard Nixon.)

During that 150 years Texans were still like they are today about nationalism. (U.S. and Texas) They were almost all fiscal conservatives. They were sane people.

In Texas the 1960’s lefties were very few until long after the Vietnam War. Everyone was patriotic.

Civil rights movement in Texas was largely a non event. Certainly Anglo's and Tejanos were neighbors and intermarried from the beginning of the Republic of Texas.

Texas from the beginning had a “Leave me Alone and we will get along fine” attitude. It still does.

So a Globalist like Fleishman (the author) does not have a clue. He is smug and thinks because he traveled the world he is superior. He can stay in the smoldering ashes of Los Angeles and CA, when it collapses.

The Bush's are foreign to Texas. Although W Bush grew up in the oil patch. (I had relatives in Midland too.)

The Oilies in Midland and Odessa are not Globalists. The companies owning the oil production are mixed, many of the owners are Globalists. Many are NOT.

There is your divide of Texas

LOL I’m here in the Heart of Texas and there is no such Civil War.

This article is all made up Horseshit by wishful thinkers on the left who know Alred’s going to be crushed by Cruz.

Any time you see the phrase “FAR RIGHT” you are dealing with a leftist.

They are using the phrase as a weapon far right is equated with radical, extremist, unreasonable, dangerous, unpredictable…etc.

Roughy 50% of readers will decide that group labeled as such is not deserving of their thoughts or ideas time.

I knew it , searched up the author.

He just wrote a book about America under threat by evil skin heads, neonazis and I bet conservative Christian’s.

same old 💩the leftists authors have been using for decades. Never the REAL threats like Marxism and the deep state.

"We want no part of what Los Angeles and California are."

And rightfully so. Problem is, you're getting more of it every day. The invasion isn't limited to the illegals from the South:

Everything you need to know (but may not want to know) which documents how Texas is rapidly "purpling"

The major metro areas are deteriorating quickly, and it didn't just start this year. The "MOST of the people moving here from California are CONSERVATIVES" lie is just that. Or at least they sure have a funny way of showing it.

Trump should win Texas by about 5 points; Cruz SHOULD win, but almost certainly by less than that. By 2028 though.....
