The blue wave that the left said was going to hit Texas continues to recede further…back as numbers continue to show Democrats losing ground in the Lone Star State.

According to Texas Monthly, Starr County is turning red by leaps and bounds…:

In Starr County, just upriver from McAllen, Republicans increased their turnout by almost 300 percent between 2016 and 2020…In Webb County, home of Laredo, Trump cut his 2016 margin of defeat by more than half. And in Zapata County, which didn’t even have a local Republican party, Trump became the first GOP presidential candidate to win since Warren G. Harding…a century ago.

Texas Monthly stated that…the problem is the Democrat party’s assumption that Hispanic voters would default to voting Democrat…

Banking on an identity-based appeal, Democrats last year trotted out the sort of bilingual messaging in South Texas that has played well…in Los Angeles and…New York…Republicans, by contrast, recognized that Hispanic South Texans share many of the same values as non-Hispanic white voters…

…Texans have differing values and concerns than Californians and New Yorkers do, and assuming a minority voter in Texas would think the same way as a minority voter in New York isn’t just short-sighted, it’s also racist.

…[T[he town of McAllen, Texas, was also considered a Democrat stronghold by the left and thus there was no reason in their minds to listen to their concerns. It’s a town that was 85 percent Hispanic and Biden had won the county over Trump by 17 points. Before Biden, Clinton had won it by 42 points…McAllen elected its first Republican mayor in June.

…[T]he Biden administration’s border policies have been destructive to nearby communities, including the Hispanic communities…

…so long as they continue to put these communities in danger with irresponsible management of the border and appeals to their status as a minority instead of individual communities, Democrats will continue to bleed support.
