I kept hearing over and over..."Texas is gonna turn blue because of the Latino population"....Our state chair finally resigned because of his overly optimistic forecasting....He's from the Rio Grande Valley BTW. Trump was a racist his first term. They liked him.

He's not targeting many people in rural areas. He's mostly going after people in urban areas. He's going after Venezuelans and Central Americans. The Rio Grande Valley is Mexican American. They aren't the same. Someone posted a post that said, "Look at Jasmine Crockett volunteering for Search and Rescue in Kerrville". A response was, "That's not her. We don't all look the same".

Get it??? Venezuelans are not Mexican, even though they may look like Mexicans to you. Central Americans are not Mexicans, even though they may look like Mexicans to you. They aren't the same!!!!
