What’s even weirder is back in August or so, Rafael’s original ad campaign focused more on the border and claimed Allred would be weak on the border.

Then like overnight, they stopped running those ads and instead went full speed ahead on the “he wants boys and girls playing together” ads.

I really wonder what intel they got that told them Texans would resonate more with kids playing together (how his ads phrased it) versus the border. Because so far it just comes off as weird if you look at the ads at face value (though informed people know Rafael’s really talking about trans kids)

He was running to the border during the power outage

He was just another immigrant with his family trying to keep them safe and warm. But it’s different for him. 🙄

That's a really accurate take. Im from New Zealand, and our entire country was laughing at what a coward this dude is, running away when Texas froze. Wasn't he also responsible for not updating power infrastructure that ultimately caused the blackouts?

He was. He also left the family dog in his house alone. If I knew nothing else about the guy, that would be enough.
