I know so mаny аmаzing pаtriots in the greаt stаte of Texаs, аnd I love Texаs, thаt hаve been wаiting аnd аre willing for this moment. Deputize а citizen force, put them on the border, give them hаndcuffs, get it done. Sure thаt’s drаmаtic. You know whаt’s drаmаtic? The invаsion of the country. We’re going to tаlk more аbout thаt, we’re going to tаlk аbout how the other side hаs openly аdmitted thаt this is аbout bringing in voters thаt they wаnt аnd thаt they like аnd honestly, diminishing аnd decreаsing white demogrаphics in Americа. We’re going to sаy thаt pаrt out loud, аs so mаny people in the corporаte mediа аre аfrаid to tаlk аbout it.

I should probably be concerned about the increasingly-brazen descent into far right politics America is going through as capitalism further decays and its defenders look to fascism. But I’m honestly only mildly shocked and even a bit apathetic about it at this point. :shrug-outta-hecks:
What's mindblowing is that conservatives have been handed the best possible propaganda... by Democrats
Militarization of police, stop and frisk, the drug war, civil asset forfeiture, school-to-prison pipeline, income inequality in Democrat-controlled cities
But instead of leveraging that in a meaningful way, they fall back on fear of not being on top of the hierarchy; even black conservatives only go so far as "rich Democrats look down on you, vote Republican" and wonder why they aren't gaining fans that aren't white
It's like conservatives would rather live in perpetual existential dread than live in a more right-wing world where some of their leaders are identifiably and unashamedly black
The thing is, people might be uninformed but they're not so uninformed they dont understand some basic differences between R and D. They implicitly know all that stuff you talked about Democratic-run cities, that the Republican solution is to be even more awful. More police militarization than the democrats. More prisons. Going harder on drugs. Schools are bad in your city? The Republicans want to just get rid of them and give you a voucher for your kid to get indoctrinated in the local Catholic school.
Republicans tried what you're suggesting in the CA recall and it blew up in their faces. "Hey Newsom sucks right? You should get rid of him! What have you got to lose?" Except I think most voters knew the stuff that they didn't like Newsom for, Elder would be even worse.
