This is the Texas mindset:
XX said unauthorized immigration at the border is her top issue. ”It’s terrifying. I’ve got grandchildren now,” she said. “We’ve already got crazy people around everywhere. If they want to come over, do it the right way. More people is better. I love that.” She’s also unhappy about high food costs.
YY voted a straight Republican ticket for two primary reasons. ”The border number one. And the economy,” Another concern, he said, was fairness in athletic competitions.
@tyghebright Ah, the good old #Brexit talking points. After Brexit, the number of immigrants into the UK went up (just not from Europe, but I am sure, they wanted this), and the promise of low food and energy costs ... well, they found out.
Yes, it's very much the same fears and the same shortsightedness.
Also note that "fairness in athletic competitions" is dogwhistle for scary trans women.
@tyghebright I know. Was simply not invented in 2016, otherwise, it would have been a talking point for distraction, I am sure.
