Whenever Democrats tout a group of Republicans who are suddenly on board with their most radical candidates, it’s a safe bet that those “Republicans” are actually Democrats pretending to be conservatives to help push a political narrative.

RIP “Republicans for Talarico”

Leftist outlet MS NOW aired a segment featuring three Texas women who identified themselves as Republicans and vowed to cross over for James Talarico — but records show at least some of them have voted in Democratic primaries and donated to liberal candidates and causes.
Talarico, who has sparked backlash for his fringe views on Christianity, affection for transgender children, and disdain for the American flag, is banking on Republican crossover support to become the first Texas Democrat elected statewide in decades.
“Republicans for Talarico is as real as the six genders that Talarico claims exist, but has yet to explain what they are. This lame rebrand of White Dudes for Kamala is full of lifelong Democrat donors, activists, and other losers,” RNC spokesman Zach Kraft said in a statement to The Daily Wire.

A total shame. Not.
Sounds like “𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘋𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘴” tried to rebrand itself. 🤣

Remember “White Dudes for Harris”? Good times.
“Lifelong Republicans” are a Democrat staple.

Democrats do not have good fiscal policy, and it’s been clear for a while they do not listen to their voters.
I ran into a “Republicans for Talarico” type lady here once, came into my replies talking about how she was a lifelong conservative Republican voter who’d been forced to support Democrats because of how radical the Republican Party had become, so I searched her history and found… https://t.co/9k6DEAjPBY

“I searched her history and found stuff with her talking about how she’d left the Republican Party because it was too radical … in 2008. Because John McCain was too radical for her,” the user wrote.
These are the same people trying to claim Susan Collins is an “extremist.”
People should be EXTREMELY wary of these “Republicans” that are magically partisan democrats this year, since most of them are getting exposed as Democrat ops. https://t.co/b8PZ9OnYms

Yes, and we’re going to expose them for the Democrat ops that they are. It’s all a psy-op to prop up Talarico, who is going to lose in Texas because every position he holds is as un-American and anti-Texas as you can get.
Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will determine the fate of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must maintain control of both chambers of Congress.
