Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico, a state representative now running in the crowded Texas Democratic primary, is pushing a message that should raise eyebrows across the Lone Star State. Rather than focus on the issues that matter to families and small business owners, Talarico is attempting to recast American politics not as a debate over ideas, but as a “top vs. bottom” battle against successful Americans.
At a recent town hall, Talarico told supporters that the biggest divide in the country is between ordinary people and the “billionaire class,” urging Texans to “fight” the wealthy elite instead of debating policy differences with their neighbors.
He went further, dismissing demographic groups that make up about 1% of the population , such as transgender people, Muslims, and undocumented immigrants, claiming they’re a distraction from this perceived billionaire threat. This kind of rhetoric echoes the same class-war language Democrats have trotted out nationally, where success and wealth are treated as if they’re inherently suspect.
Talarico’s messaging is more than political posturing: it highlights a Democratic strategy focused on division and grievance politics rather than policies that actually improve the lives of Texans. Instead of offering real solutions to rising costs, border security, or economic opportunity, he’s calling for Texans to fix their sights on a vague “billionaire” enemy.
This approach plays into a dangerous and familiar theme: pitting Americans against one another and blaming success for societal problems. Republican leaders and voters alike understand that our focus should be on strengthening communities, empowering families, and growing the economy, not scapegoating hard-earned success.
