Texas is Being Flipped

Chairman's Monday Message

Good Monday morning, everyone! The title of this missive is not some signal of defeat, hardly so. However, it is a realization of a ground truth that Texans must accept, or run the risk of being a Colorado or other former red states.

It was not too long ago, in November 2024, that we celebrated a resounding political victory here in Texas. Donald Trump increased his margin of victory from 2020 from 6 percent to 15 percent. We also saw 12 of 14 border counties in Texas go for Trump. In the so-called “hotly contested” Texas Senate race, Ted Cruz cruised to victory by nearly 10 percent. Texas had a solid red majority in the State Senate and State House. All seemed well. It was such a drastic defeat for Democrats in Texas that their State Party Chairman resigned.

Then something happened.

With a clear 88-62 majority in the Texas State House, 36 Republicans broke camp and joined with 49 Democrats to select the Texas Speaker of the House. Somehow, there are so-called Republicans who prance around boasting how many Texas generations they are and wearing cowboy hats saying those elected Republicans who broke their own caucus rules should not be held accountable. Well, if there was any evidence of a Pavlovian experiment, that is a prime example. We all know that if you reward bad behavior — or worse, excuse it — you will get more bad behavior. So now we have a Texas State House, with a majority of 88 Republicans passing unconscionable legislation, such as HB 366, criminalizing political memes. Here we are just days before the calendar deadline that will kill most bills, and our Republican Party of Texas legislative priorities are at risk of dying.

But, a school choice bill was passed and signed which will provide regulated vouchers for 100,000 Texas kids. That is not exactly “universal.”

Recently we had our municipal elections, and the results were quite telling. Once again, the turnout for these races was abysmal, and we wonder why we have failing municipal governance. The Democrats in Dallas realized that the local elections were a priority for the Dallas County Republican Party, a rarity. They went all out, including having the local useful idiot — Vladimir Lenin’s characterization — Rep. Jasmine Crockett come out to fire up the mindless lemmings to vote against their own safety and security. Where were our local Republican elected officials? Some were probably too busy conjuring up their next endeavor to support the Texas Democrats.

What was even more disconcerting were articles published in local media outlets detailing how some wealthy Republicans actually donated to incumbent Democrats on the Dallas City Council . . . the same folks who host out-of-state Republican elected officials and candidates. Talk about burning down your own house while helping others to build theirs.

The results across North Texas were telling. Plano, Mansfield, Dallas, and elsewhere saw Democrat victories as Republicans seemed to, once again, be bitten by the poisonous snake called apathy.

It is that apathy that could result in the flipping of Texas.

Leftists have a grand strategic plan when it comes to invading red states. They overtake the major population centers, where the abject failure of their governance is visible. Then that cancer metastasizes into the surrounding municipalities and counties, the suburbs. This is what is happening in Texas. Sadly, even with Republican legislative majorities and elected officials, leftists are enjoying success. Funny, one could almost say that Republicans are aiding and abetting the demise of Texas right before our eyes. I find it perplexing that instead of governing as a red state, Texas finds itself struggling and seeking an unholy alliance with progressive socialists.

Texas should not have illegal immigration sanctuary housing developments. Texas should not have Islamic enclaves seeking to implement Sharia law. Texas should not have pockets of blue where law enforcement refuses to work with ICE to deport criminal illegal immigrants. Texas should not have leftist election administrators who undermine the integrity of our electoral system. Texas should not have Democrat elected officials who feel so emboldened that they are accused of physically and verbally assaulting Republican election officials.

These are just examples, and there are many others, as to why the leftists feel that they can slowly, like boiling a frog, flip Texas. As long as Republicans are apathetic and continue to elect those who want to pet socialist rattlesnakes, we are on this road. Next year we have the crucial midterm elections. The left in America — in Texas — are depending upon Republican apathy in not showing up, and enabling them to reclaim legislative majorities. There are some Republicans who are hoping constitutional conservatives resign themselves to, once again, believing their distortions of reality like “it was the most conservative legislative session ever,” to keep them in positions of managing the decline of the Lone Star State.

The skilled combat leader recognizes the battlefield before the battle is even fought. That is what Sun Tzu teaches in The Art of War. The question is, how many of you have that prescient vision and are willing to make a stand and fight here in Texas? Hold Texas, hold the nation.

Steadfast and Loyal.
