I am getting Republican mailers.

I guess my new address is not in the master database which shows me as a hard core dem who always votes.

Anyway what I am seeing is that they are campaigning on crime and inflation. The ads do not promote the Repub candidates, they just attack Tony Evers and Mandela Barnes. They don't mention abortion or democracy.

I do think that those are issues are people care about. But there is no rational reason for anyone to think that they can fix inflation or reduce crime.

Fearmongering and horrible candidates. That's all they have.

... we get. She hasn't had a national Republican to vote for in about 20 years. There's one judge in town she supports who is a "Republican" who runs unopposed. Talking to him, he doesn't sound like a Republican, he never supported the Orange Shitgibbon.

She had huge problems with the GOP when they embraced the Tea Party. She votes a straight Democratic ticket since W, with the exception of the judge. But we are on every GOP sucker list there is.

We've contributed to several Texas Democrats, but for the most part, we don't see much begging from Democratic candidates.
