I'm involved with Democratic politics down here in South Texas

[LeftInTX]

Here are a few facts:

Generalizations..(We have our progressives, but I'm describing the majority of Democrats)

Democrats here tend to be somewhat socially conservative
They are even more conservative in the Rio Grande Valley..(Henry Cuellar)
Democrats are overwhelmingly Latino or African American.
Most of my friends go to church every week...I'm the lazy hold out
We don't discuss reproductive rights because other issues are more important
Latinos are majority Catholic and even among Democrats abortion or abortion rights is not something they feel comfortable discussing.

Of course they are upset about SB 8, because it is so horrendous...But the majority of reproductive limitations in the past do not appear to have angered them to the point that it flips elections.

Sen Eddio Lucio Jr (D- Brownsville) voted for the anti-abortion bill.


Then we have our Progressive voters

They tend to be white...
Democrats who are involved with Planned Parenthood tend to be white and tend to have more money.
However, white Democrats are the minority here...

Based on this, the Republicans feel that there will not be a huge rebellion in Texas....
