Democrat James Talarico is trying to appeal to rural conservative voters. So he’s doing it in the most pandering way possible, visiting the capitalist, family-values-embracing roadside Mecca that is Buc-ee’s. This one's in Temple, Texas.
Yes, it’s as cringe as you can imagine. (WATCH)
James Talarico meets with Texans at Buc-ee’s:

How do you do, fellow Texans? pic.twitter.com/C67FEHY9s4

Democrats are so cringe and performative.

"Look at me, I go to Bucc-ees too!"
Like Democrat Mark Warner’s visit, Democrats always look uncomfortable and out of place doing it. Plus, Democrats hate Buc-ee's.
Commenters were laughing at the notion of 'light-switch' Republicans who have jettisoned their entire belief system to vote not only for the freak Talarico but the entire ticket of psycho Democrats.
Real republicans don't go from voting for conservatives to voting for commies in one election cycle. 😆😅😂

Nor do they vote Democrat straight down the ballet 🤦🏾♀️ They should at least try to make it believable 🤷🏽♀️

None of these people were ever republicans

Never heard of this transformation happening in my life

It may happen gradually, but one doesn’t go all-in on wealth redistribution, open borders, and genital mutilation of confused children overnight.
Speaking of multiple genders, Talarico must be livid at Buc-ee’s binary restrooms.
Unfortunately, Buc-ee's restrooms have only two genders.

Too bad I wasn’t there, I would have asked him why he thinks men should be allowed in my granddaughters public bathroom

But… but… but… he bought Beaver Nuggets. That means a life-destroying issue that impacts your grandchildren no longer matters, see?
Democrats think Talarico posing with a Bucky the Beaver statue owns MAGA and the popular roadside stop’s conservative co-owners. It’s really just another chance for MAGA to diss Talarico’s disingenuousness and make memes.
I know the owners of buccees are livid since they are MAGA 😂 pic.twitter.com/GLDWuPvLKf

He looks like its a painful for him to be there.

This is so phony

Talarico’s love for Buc-ee’s and its patrons is just as fake as everything else about him. Wonder if he got a beef brisket sandwich to complete his forced illusion.
