Early voting for the 2024 General Election has finally begun, and it is the responsibility of every single supporter of the 2nd Amendment to cast their ballot and help prevent the Radical Left from further infringing on our God-given rights.
The right to bear arms is under attack like never before at every level of government. Even here in Texas, where leftists have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to slowly turn the Lone Star State blue, tyrannical gun grabbers are on the verge of taking power and stripping away our fundamental liberties. It doesn’t help that many Republicans in state leadership have served as agents of compromise, appeasing authoritarian leftists rather than stopping their vicious tirade against the Constitution.
Luckily, conservative, constitutionally-minded individuals are stronger than ever, and the Radical Left is at their weakest point in modern history. Following 4 years of malicious incompetence by the Harris/Biden Administration, which has made the lives of nearly all Americans objectively worse, the people are more motivated than ever to take their country back. Regardless of the left’s weaknesses, however, there is no doubt that the 2024 election will be a hard fought battle on all fronts, and everyone must contribute at the ballot box.
With that said, let’s examine where the pro-gun movement stands in the lead up to November, at both the state and federal levels.
Authentic conservatives secured unprecedented victories in the primary season against the Establishment RINO’s plaguing the Austin Swamp. Liberty-minded candidates ousted numerous career politicians, who have spent their time as representatives ignoring the will of their constituents and conceding to hostile Democrats. Now more than ever, we possess the opportunity to oust Dade Phelan from his position as the Speaker of the House.
Phelan has perhaps served as a greater opponent to Republicans and their legislative priorities than even prominent Democrats, whom he treats as valued friends. As speaker, he has granted radical leftists leadership positions in the state legislature, crushing opportunities for true Republicans and conservatives to make headway, and defend our constitutional rights. In addition, Phelan has flirted with Red Flag Laws, which would strip Texans of not only their legally-owned firearms, but also their essential right to due process.
Many of Phelan’s acolytes were decisively crushed in the primaries, thanks in large part to their collective decision to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton. Real Republicans might finally be able to remove Phelan from his position as speaker, and install an authentic, pro-gun conservative into leadership. Gun enthusiasts everywhere must secure the state legislature to not only keep Democrats out, but also cripple the RINO establishment.
Moving on from state politics, our national congress must remain secured from a possible anti-gun trifecta. As unlikely as his victory may be, gun-grabbers have spent tens of millions of dollars to give Colin Allred a chance at defeating Senator Ted Cruz. Throughout his tenure in the House of Representatives, Allred has voted in lockstep with the Harris/Biden Administration, pushing forward each and every one of their far-left policies, including those pertaining to gun control. Allred has spent his entire campaign masquerading as a moderate, and lying about his extremist progressive record every step of the way.
Colin Allred does not represent Texas values in any capacity, he represents the totalitarian mannerisms of deep-blue Dallas. He is as far-left as they come, and must not be allowed to serve as a senator for Texas. Gun rights advocates must fight to re-elect TXGR PAC-endorsed Ted Cruz.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the presidency is up for grabs. Kamala Harris is the most radically anti-2nd Amendment presidential candidate in American history. As San Francisco’s DA, she supported a total firearm ban inside city limits. During her pathetic presidential campaign in 2020, she openly advocated for gun confiscations, and expressed her willingness to use executive powers to enact them. She praised Australia for their mandatory gun buy back program, and expressed a desire to see a similar policy used in the United States.
Despite her fallacious attempts to appear moderate, and her sudden claim of personal gun ownership, Kamala Harris’ values and opinions toward the 2nd Amendment have not changed. She is merely doing and saying what she knows she needs to in order to win; if given the power of the presidency, she will revert immediately to her former ways, and America, the Constitution, and all of the essential liberties therein, will never be the same.
2024 is, without a doubt, the most important election year in American history. Yes, the same thing has been said about many previous presidential elections in the past, but this time, it’s very true. President Donald J. Trump stated that “2024 is our final battle,” and he was absolutely correct. The reality is that if Donald Trump loses this election, no Republican will ever win the presidency again, and the radical left will hold unilateral control over the federal government forever.
This may sound like a hyperbolic exaggeration, but it is not. Over the past 4 years, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have allowed upwards of 20 million illegal immigrants into the United States. This was not only done through the Southern Border; migrants were flown into the country and placed in critical swing states like Pennsylvania. This was not done because of incompetence, it was a deliberate act of political strategy by the radical left to secure power forever.
There can be no doubt that the disastrous border policies of the current administration will continue with Kamala Harris as president. Millions more foreign nationals will be imported into the United States, permanently shifting demographics and Electoral College power in America. Once these migrants are granted amnesty, as Kamala Harris has announced her plans to do, and they are granted the ability to vote in American elections, it will be impossible for Republicans to ever win the presidency again. The GOP will become electorally unviable at the federal level, and the radical left’s reign of terror will never end.
In conclusion, it is no overstatement to say that the United States as we know it is on the line this November. Get out there and vote as soon as possible to secure and defend your freedoms. Early voting continues through November 1st, and election day is on November 5th. Do not sit this one out, there is no excuse for abandoning your responsibility as an American citizen, especially with how much is at stake!
