True Texas Project has for years worked with Attorney General Ken Paxton, Sen. Ted Cruz and other prominent Republicans.

An influential grassroots group with close ties to Texas Republican lawmakers is hosting a conference next month that encourages its attendees to embrace Christian nationalism and resist a Democratic campaign “to rid the earth of the white race.”

Billed as the 15th anniversary celebration for True Texas Project, a far-right activist group that got its start as a North Texas tea party organization, the agenda claims there is a “war on white America,” or elevate theories that white Americans are being intentionally replaced through immigration — a common belief among far-right extremists, including many mass shooters.

“It’s absolutely vital we remember that when they say ‘white supremacy’ or ‘white nationalism’ or whatever the most recent scare phrase is, they literally just mean your heritage and historical way of life,” reads the description for a session on “Multiculturalism & The War on White America.” “It’s a culture war, simple as that. Stop apologizing. Stop backing down. Start fighting back.”

    I don’t really see the dems moving to the right. Clinton–>Obama–>Biden does not seem to be a rightward drift. I will agree that change of any sort has been very slow though.

      I mean clinton was a big right shift and obama did not exactly move way left but he sorta held the line and biden has leftward potential but it remains to be seen. Most of what he has accomplished has been without congress so not exactly lasting.

      Ronald Reagan was so popular the democrats all shifted right to try and win back votes. Clinton’s politics were called ‘the third way’ because he tried to be not quite a republican and not quite a democrat, but somewhere in the middle.
