The Atlantic | The Republican Senate Candidate Who Could Lose Texas by Elaine Godfrey
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
In Texas’s Republican Senate primary runoff, former President Donald Trump finally endorsed Attorney General Ken Paxton over longtime Senator John Cornyn, a move that electrified his base despite Paxton’s long trail of legal and ethical scandals—including indictments, impeachment, accusations of personal misconduct, and numerous lawsuits against Democratic administrations. While Trump’s backing is seen as a guarantee of a primary win for Paxton, many Republicans warn that his controversial history could make the general election far more competitive, potentially opening the door for Democrat James Talarico and ending the state’s 40‑year streak of Republican Senate victories; Cornyn, by contrast, is viewed as a more electable, moderate choice, but Trump’s endorsement underscores the deepening split within the party between establishment figures and the MAGA‑driven grassroots that now dominate Texas politics.

Writing as a self-declared "Jewish atheist," Paul Waldman says,
"The more radical Republicans get, the more Democrats have an opportunity to persuade the religious people who are growing alienated from the GOP."

"So even if you don’t share the faith of candidates like Beshear and Talarico, or their visible piety makes you a little uncomfortable, don’t forget that Christian nationalism is a growing threat, and fighting it is going to require the help of a lot of Christians."

"Talarico, a Texas State Representative, is a deeply religious Democratic lawmaker making waves by pointing out MAGA’s religious hypocrisy. Exceedingly clean cut, he looks like a southern Baptist preacher, but he sounds like a true man of faith. And he has zero patience for golden calf worshippers."

"Taking on Trump’s far right base, Talarico rails about the shameful gulf between the teachings of Christ and the suffering Trump is inflicting on the nation and the world.
Talarico notes that MAGA, while hewing to a self-proclaimed Christian identity, doesn’t seem to mind that Trump is building concentration camps to cage people who haven’t committed a crime."

"They also overlook that Trump’s ICE is throwing senior citizens to the pavement, dragging people from their cars, and breaking into homes without a search warrant. They don’t care that his agents are murdering peaceful US protestors and Venezuelans in fishing boats that cannot, due to size and distance, make it to US shores and therefore cannot be posing a direct threat."

"A Presbyterian seminarian, Talarico has gained national attention for using his theological background to criticize Chrisian nationalism, condemning it as a 'betrayal of Jesus of Nazareth,' because it 'worships power in the name of Christ.' Talarico urges MAGA to look at themselves and realize that chasing power at all costs is wrong."

"The alleged censorship of Talarico’s interview suggests a dangerous attack on both free expression and religious pluralism. The Christian nationalist agenda advocates against a diversity of Christian experience, contradicting and threatening kindness and justice as key tenets of our faith."

This should be the most viral YT video of the year if for nothing else byt as a big fuck you to Trump, Carr and the MAGA.
Everyone who opposes Trump, ICE, Carr, MAGA, Stephen Miller, etc should at least open this video and let it play out completely. (They also count minutes watched)

Just now getting caught up on the FCC/CBS banning Stephen Colbert from having a prospective Texas senator on his show. AS WELL AS barring him from talking about it. Wow, guess we should all go see what the FCC and Agent Orange don't want us to see... An intelligent, religious Texas Dem. *gasp*
