Republican Mayra Flores flips Dem House seat in South Texas


Just yesterday Republican Mayra Flores flipped a Democratic House district in South Texas. Flores was endorsed by President Trump.

Flores secured 51 percent of the vote while her rival Democrat Dan Sanchez secured 43 percent. 85 percent of residents of that district are Latino. Flores won the seat outright by taking a majority of the vote, she will not need a runoff.

This is a major election victory for the GOP because the seat has been with the Democrats since 1871. It marks a significant gain for the GOP among Latino voters in that region.

Back in 2020, President Donald Trump reduced the Democratic advantage in Texas’ 34th District to single digits. Previous GOP presidential candidates had lost the district by double digits to the likes of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

The Democrats have relentlessly pounded GOP for being a party of white supremacists. 

The Democrats have also appointed themselves as the custodians for all minority groups. They proudly flaunt their ‘diversity’ in every presentation. They claim to be the only group with compassion and empathy.

The Democrats also claim that the GOP talking about the need to protect borders and prevented the influx of illegal immigrants is coded racism against Latinos.

Why then would the GOP be winning among Latinos?

The first mistake the Democrats make is they never see people are individuals but rather as homogeneous demographic groups who they assume have identical worldviews and thinking.

The Democrats, despite their kind word, look down upon minority groups. They see minorities including Latino citizens as inferiors who constantly need to be instructed and ordered on what to do.

They hyphenate the group's identities hence there are Latino-Americans, Muslim-Americans, and Indian-Americans. They often use these groups for shallow tokenism rather than meaningful engagement. Their understanding is often based on crude stereotyping and their misperceptions. 

This is a form of bigotry, where a group is seen as identical solely because of their race. This is also dehumanizing, it reduces a group into robots who function identically

The fact is that no two people, including identical twins, think alike or have identical perspectives.

The only common factor among Latinos, like every human being, they have a desire for a quality life in addition to growth and upward mobility for themselves and their families. 

Apart from that, they are a diverse group of people.

The Democrats under Biden are the party of open borders causing an influx of illegal immigrants, human trafficking, and smuggling of illicit drugs

If any neighborhood, is flooded with unvetted non-citizens, the resources meant for citizens are exhausted. Working-class citizens are either rendered unemployed or suffer a lowering of wages because illegal migrants are willing to work for lesser money without benefits. Since the illegal migrants are not vetted, there will be a spike in crimes. Drugs will be easily available and the young may be influenced to consume them. It also leads to the erosion of culture.

The Democrats presume that Latino citizens, like them, see everything through the prism of race and hence endorse these dangers due to illegal migrants solely because the violators happen of the same race. They also make the mistake of presuming that every illegal migrant is hispanic.

Then there is also a matter of values, culture, and religion.

Among the roughly 63 million Latino citizens in the U.S., 77 percent are Christian

The Democrats are fanatic proponents of abortion, as evident by their nationwide protest against the possible overturning of Roe V Wade (1973), traditional Christians do not approve of abortion.

The Democrats are fervant advocates of LGBT issues. But their support is not restricted to demanding dignity for the LGBT community. They support teaching very young children about gender identity and sexual orientation. They also support gender-neutral bathrooms and even gender-neutral sports. This is not approved by most people, particularly traditional Christians.  

Most Latinos who hail from South American nations have either themselves experienced or have heard from their relatives abroad about its perils of totalitarianism and socialism. They know the economic consequences of socialism and the suppression of freedoms and human rights under totalitarian regimes.  

When they see Democrats brag about being socialist they are alarmed.

When they see Democrats display totalitarian proclivities by demonizing opponents, mandating masks, vaccines, and lockdowns, setting up a Disinformation Governance Board, and supporting new Red Flags laws that confiscate guns from citizens on mere suspicion they are concerned.

In fact, it is the yearning for freedom and prosperity that caused them or their forefathers to make the U.S. their home. Why would they support a party that wants to take them back to the hell that they escaped from?

In addition to ‘Latino issues,’ there are myriad other problems.

Every citizen is struggling due to Biden’s myriad catastrophes such as the 40-year high inflation, skyrocketing gas prices, the supply chain crisis and so much more.

A Marist poll from the end of last year showed that an emphatic 65 percent of Latinos disapprove of Joe Biden, while a mere 33 percent of Latinos approve.

Mayra Flores's victory is proof that this trend is continuing.

In fact, Flores’s Democrat opponent receiving 43 percent is a very high number considering the catastrophes that the Democrats have caused. Perhaps this is the result of the relentless media messaging.

This record victory has placed Flores placed the national spotlight. If we know the Democrats, and their media allies, they are particularly vicious to members of 'minorities’ who become independent thinkers. They are feminists but hurl vicious sexist attacks against Sarah Palin and Sarah Huckabee. They are pro-black but are viciously racist while covering conservative African Americans such as Candace Owen and Ben Carson. The list is endless.

In the coming months expect vitriol to be directed at Flores. They will call her a traitor to her race and a lot more. They are already calling her a member of the ‘QAnon’ caucus i.e. a conspiracy theorist loon.

The GOP must support Flores in every way when she is up for reelection in five months?
