There were concerns about, you know, civil liberties and racial profiling and, you know, that happening in the post 9-11 era.
What's happened now is the willingness of politicians to make it an official part of the party platform that, you know, in Texas, for example, banning and investigating cases of Sharia law was endorsed as an official policy platform of the Texas Republican Party.
And it made it onto the ballot to recommend strongly that Governor Abbott make that a law, to pass a law that essentially is like, don't Sharia my Texas.
That plus like the combination of there is now like a Sharia-free caucus in Congress that didn't exist back in the day.
It has dozens of members in the House, which didn't exist in the post-9-11 era.
And then
Obviously, we have the convention.
Also recently, Trump was asked if he would push for a national ban on Sharia, whatever that means.
And he endorsed it.
The big thing is the power of social media and the power of very closed off but big echo chambers and media silos to recreate and propagate various kinds of fear mongering and
In some cases, very well produced kind of videos, clips, documentaries, investigations, you know, undercover kind of sting style investigative videos across the internet.
And it's a bit of a cottage industry in and of itself of, you know, just MAGA
sphere influencers moving on to the next thing that they want to amplify.
And it's the ability for them to do it really quickly, to do it at scale and to make sure that it goes viral and gets picked up and amplified by other mega influencers across platforms.
That's like the massive difference.
there are some voices, some party strategists and political strategists in Texas who point out that right now the border isn't really the major issue that is galvanizing Republican voters, that the economy isn't really that either, that Trump is kind of unpopular, and that you kind of need a scapegoat to rile people up and to get people to the polls.
And if you warn them that if they don't come out to vote, their way of life and their, you know,
The America that they know will be transformed by these monstrous boogeymen.
You know, that's a pretty effective political organizing tool.
And it's been effective in some state local races already.
