Well, howdy there internet people, it's Bo again.
So today we are going to talk about Texas.
We're going to talk about publicity.
And we're going to talk about the border and that park
and everything that's going on.
And then we're going to talk about seeing things
with your own eyes.
And we're going to talk about why things are shaping up
the way they are.
Okay, so if you missed it, not too long ago,
The governor of Texas engaged in a publicity stunt at this park, and they secured the border
in this park, not like along the whole border, just in this park, and they made it out to
be a big deal.
The governor's defying the Supreme Court and all of this stuff.
No, no, he wasn't.
We talked about it at the time.
He's done exactly what he was told he could do, like a good little governor.
he was doing exactly what he was allowed to and creating a publicity stunt within the
confines of what he was allowed to do.
He wasn't defying anybody.
That was just rhetoric put out there to fool the easily manipulated.
And then from there, because the right-wing ecosystem likes to take things and build on
it, because he was defying the Supreme Court, it was going to lead to civil war.
Of course, that didn't happen either, mainly because he was never defined in the Supreme
Court.
That's just something they made up.
But all of this generated a bunch of publicity, and it helped push the idea that there was
an invasion, and it helped push the idea that it was the Republican Party that was going
to secure the border and get tough and all of that stuff.
Okay, so what's happened?
Well, they've announced that they're going to secure a little bit of area outside of
the park now.
They're still not actually doing anything for real.
It's all still a publicity stunt, just like the first part, but now it's going to be outside
the border.
Why?
Why are they expanding?
That's the question you should ask.
And there's a number of reasons.
One is that they're no longer getting the headlines, right?
They're not getting headlines off of their publicity stunt.
This kind of shows you that it has absolutely nothing to do with security and is just about
scaring people.
That part right there.
Then you have this.
It's not what I expected, but then again, I don't know what I expected.
I can tell you it's not as bad as what I thought.
So that's kind of eye-opening in itself.
So because of all of the rhetoric and all of the stuff that the right-wing information
sphere put out, people traveled hundreds, a thousand miles to go to the border, see
it for themselves.
And what they found out was that, hey, there's no invasion.
They made that up.
So you have that, and they have to overshadow that news.
have to overshadow quotes like this or they're going to look really silly.
And then there's the big thing.
The bipartisan deal in the Senate that Biden is behind, that would make the border more
secure than their stunt.
That would make them look really bad.
The Republican Party needs this issue.
They don't have anything else.
They have nothing else to run on in 2024, so they have to continue to grandstand and
try to torpedo the deal, but they have to keep putting out this rhetoric because if
they lose the border, they lose 2024.
They don't have anything else to run on because they don't have any policy.
All they have is fear.
They have to scare middle-aged, middle Americans into voting for them.
That's all they've got.
So they have to keep the facade alive.
They have to keep that energy directed at that fear.
They have to keep people terrified in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
So they'll do their patriotic duty and cower.
So they need the issue and the deal that the Senate has, I mean let's be honest, it secures
the border without the cruelty and that's not what the Republican party is about.
The Republican party isn't about actually achieving the goal.
The Republican party is about punishment.
And again, the reason Trump was successful is because he gave people permission to be their worst.
So Republicans in the Senate that apparently really care more about securing the border than they do Trump's rhetoric,
they put together a deal that would help do that.
help do that and the Republican Party that has pushed the idea that border
security is their main platform for eight years now they've decided that no
we don't actually want to do anything about it because if we do something
about it we can't scare people so what it's about it's what the Republican
Party turned into so that's what's going on down there at the border it isn't a
major escalation. It's a continuation of the publicity stunt designed to scare
people who don't live near the border. But if they keep going down there and
checking it out and realizing it's not an invasion, well, I mean, it's not gonna
to help there either, is it?
Anyway, it's just a thought.
Have a good day.
