Mayra Flores really is unapologetically Mexican American with genuine local roots in her...
Mayra Flores’ stunning victory in the special election for Congress last month is a strong example of how the culture war dominating American social life over the past five or so years has never really been about race.which is the second-highest proportion in the country, and it went to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. It had been held by the Democrats for about 150 years.
Flores is the antithesis of AOC. She embodies an authenticity that the “it girl” of the liberal left sorely lacks.fighting her way out of the Sierra Maestra, AOC is a product of the liberal establishment. Her mannerisms and sensibilities are derivative of it, at least when she’s not trying to co-opt a Southern drawl or a Jenny from the Block persona. It is AOC who appears on the cover of Vanity Fair and attends the Met Gala — all to speak truth to power, of course.
Flores’ Mexican heritage is especially significant. The Latino experience in America is diverse, and while Republicans can expect to get some support from Cubans and Venezuelans fleeing communist rule, Mexicans and other Hispanic groups have, in the past, voted overwhelmingly blue. Thus, Flores’ Mexican American heritage in a region at the heart of the contemporary immigration debate is no small matter.
A mature woman, both confident and proud of her femininity, Flores is radically distinguished from her more “glamorous” counterpart, AOC, who lives on social media, has yet to start a family and weaponizes her femininity . While Flores is pro-life, AOC backed abortion rights candidate Jessica Cisneros in her effort to dislodge the last remaining pro-life Democrat, Henry Cuellar, in a South Texas primary.
Thus images of the likes of AOC and Kamala Harris in business attire and stiletto heels, ready to “lean in,” as it were, cater to this demographic more than to working-class Latinas, or African Americans for that matter . While none of AOC’s social media profiles acknowledged Father’s Day, Flores went above and beyond to highlight her father’s significant role in her life: “A father is a teacher. Friend and adviser. All in one person. Happy Father’s Day!”“a speech written by a 17-year-old girl
