They believe men can become women, that voter ID laws are racist, and sexualizing young children is not only reasonable but necessary (among other insanities). The Democrats also think that halting illegal immigration makes us appear intolerant, even though every nation has the right to defend its borders. But now, the looney lefties are finally waking up.<br \/><br \/>In the past few weeks, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) traveled around Southern Texas and discussed the current state of affairs with local officials. During an interview with Laura Ingraham on Fox News, Cruz shared his findings. \u201cMost of the local elected officials in South Texas are Democrats, and that\u2019s long been a Democratic area of the state. I got to tell you, every elected Democrat I met with was so horrified by what\u2019s happening at the border. They said to me over and over again, they said, Listen, if the Democratic Party is the party of open borders, count me out. I can\u2019t support this.\u201d<br \/><br \/>Senator Cruz commented on how out of touch Federal Democrats are with their Texas counterparts to make matters worse. \u201cAnd yet today\u2019s Washington Democrats, there\u2019s not a single one of them who cares. Joe Biden won\u2019t go down to the border; Kamala Harris won\u2019t go down to the border of the Rio Grande Valley. She won\u2019t go to Del Rio. They insist these problems aren\u2019t happening and this lawlessness \u2013 we\u2019re already at 1.2 million illegal immigrants, we\u2019re on a path to 2 million. And as long as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris refuse to apply the law, it\u2019s going to keep getting worse.\u201d<br \/><br \/>Securing our border should not be a political issue. But in the name of \u201ctolerance,\u201d the tyrannical majority refuses to take notice. Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA says borders tell us where good ideas start and where bad ideas end. And the Democrats are dead-set on destroying our values.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>Photo from: Bill O&#8217;Leary (pool) \/ Getty Images<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by: Nathaniel Mannor The Democrats haven\u2019t been taking their daily dose of reality.
