Democrats Deserved to Lose Rio Grande Valley

Let me be very clear: Democrats lost the Rio Grande Valley because they abandoned the people who built it.

They lost because South Texans — hardworking, patriotic, faith-driven Americans — are done being used, lied to, and insulted by a party more focused on woke ideology and open borders than on faith, family, and freedom.

The Democrats want to pretend they don’t know why they lost the Valley. They can hold all the town halls they want and fly in their new party bosses for polished speeches. But it won’t change the truth: They lost because they put boys in our girls’ restrooms, men in our daughters’ locker rooms, and biological males in our daughters’ sports. Period.

That was the breaking point for so many of us. You don’t get to destroy everything we hold sacred and expect us to keep voting for you.

In the Valley, we don’t play politics with our children. We don’t need lectures from state Democratic Party Chair Kendall Scudder and the out-of-touch Austin elite about “economic justice” or “equity.” We need jobs. We need safety. We need common sense.

While they pander to activists and illegal immigrants, we are the ones paying the price — literally. Our taxes go up, our schools are flooded, and our communities are strained under the weight of Biden’s border crisis. Enough is enough.

Democrats thought they owned the Valley. They thought they could show up every few years, throw around some Spanish slogans, promise the moon, and expect loyalty.

But the people of South Texas are smarter than that. We saw through it.

While they were busy worrying about pronouns, we were worried about paychecks. While they were throwing open the border, we were watching our towns turn into staging grounds for chaos.

They ignored us, so we left them.

And yes, we voted for Donald Trump. Not because we’re “brainwashed” or fooled, as the left-wing pundits love to claim, but because he listened to us. He put American families first. He put Texans first. He put law and order back on the table.

That’s what we want — not drag shows for kids, not DEI quotas, and certainly not biological men robbing our daughters of scholarships and safety.

Now Democrats are scrambling. They’ve lost the 15th Congressional District, they’ve lost credibility, and they’ve lost our trust. And what’s their solution? Bring in singer Bobby Pulido? That’s the plan? A celebrity candidate to cover up the fact that they’ve sold out the Valley to the radical left? Please.

You can’t fix betrayal with a concert.

The truth is simple: The Rio Grande Valley is rising. We are awake. We are informed. And we are not going back to the party that traded our values for power and used our votes to fund policies that hurt our communities.

The Valley is red, and it’s going to stay red because we finally realized something powerful: We don’t owe the Democrat Party anything. They turned their backs on us, and now we’re turning the tables.

We are reclaiming South Texas — not with hashtags, but with votes. Not with town halls, but with truth.

The left lost the Valley because they abandoned American Texans. We won’t forget it — and we won’t let them come back.
