A longtime Republican stronghold in the heart of San Antonio is shaping up as a partisan battleground.

For decades, ZIP code 78209 the home of affluent Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills was the domain of well-known Republicans, including former Texas House Speaker Joe Straus and Congressman Lamar Smith.

Support for President Donald Trump still is prevalent here. Flags with his name fly from trees and houses. Residents have given so much to Trumps re-election campaign that 09 ranks among the top ZIP codes nationally in fundraising for the president.

But Republicans for Biden signs also are in evidence. The Trump era has stoked Democratic turnout in 09, delivering gains for Democrats in previously Republican neighborhoods. Even some longtime Republicans say theyre uneasy about giving the president a second term.

For Terrell Hills resident Susie Golden, four years of Trump is more than enough. She voted for former Vice President Joe Biden this year and for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The list is so long, starting with the misogyny, the racism, just the lying, the craziness the list is endless, Golden said. I just dislike everything about that man.

Golden grew up in a Republican household, she said, and still has residual respect for Republicans in the Straus mold fiscally conservative with a moderate temperament and less eagerness to please a far-right base.

But given sitting Republicans association with Trump, they dont deserve to keep their jobs, she said. She voted for Democrats up and down the ballot.

I would love to see it all flipped blue at this point, Golden said. I want to see them burn to the ground.

Patti Haugen is on the other end of the political spectrum. For her and her husband, a partner in an oil and gas company, a vote for Trump means a continuation of lower income and corporate tax rates passed under his administration.

Despite Trumps widely criticized handling of the coronavirus pandemic, Haugen is sticking by the president.

I don't think really any of it was his fault, she said. He didn't bring a pandemic on.

On ExpressNews.com: These Texas women arent flocking to Trump. They made up their minds weeks ago.

The road to victory in 78209 may prove tough for Democratic candidates, navigating terrain where voters are more educated than the average Bexar County voter and are prone to splitting their ballots between Democrats and Republicans in the same election year.

That makes it a battleground because those are people who are persuadable by evidence as opposed to voting purely based on partisanship, Rice University political scientist Mark Jones said.

In 2016, Clinton narrowly carried 09, winning 13 out of the ZIP codes 25 precincts. But Trump won Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills.

In 2018, Democrats made headway in pockets Republicans won two years before.

In the race to fill Smiths open congressional seat in 2018, Democrat Joseph Kopser, an Austin entrepreneur, picked up seven precincts Smith won in 2016 and carried a majority of the ZIP codes precincts.

But his opponent, Republican Chip Roy, ultimately won the district, which stretches from San Antonio northeast to Austin and north and west into the Hill Country. Roy now is in a contentious re-election battle with Democrat Wendy Davis, a former state senator and gubernatorial candidate.

In his narrow loss to Sen. Ted Cruz in 2018, Former El Paso Congressman Beto ORourke managed to flip five precincts Trump had won two years before, including two in Alamo Heights and one in Terrell Hills.

The Republican senator came away with seven precincts across 09.

But that same year, many areas ORourke and Kopser won also went for Gov. Greg Abbott and Republican state Rep. Steve Allison, a former school board president of the Alamo Heights Independent School District who replaced Straus when the House speaker retired.

In early voting this year, Peggy and Paul Foerster an Alamo Heights couple who tend to vote Republican cast ballots for Biden, Davis and MJ Hegar, the Air Force veteran challenging Republican Sen. John Cornyn.

I dont consider Trump to be a Republican, Paul Foerster said. I consider him to be an autocrat.

Biden, has a better chance of drawing the country together, which is what we really need, he said.

But the couple did vote to re-elect Allison, whom they see as more moderate and good on education. Allison once again faces Democratic challenger Celina Montoya, who lost to Allison in 2018 by less than nine points.

I never thought it was a good idea for people to be able to just pull one lever, push one button and vote all for one party, Peggy Foerster said.

On ExpressNews.com: What Trumps save-the-suburbs pledge means in Texass only political battleground

The president has plenty of support in 09. If Trump signs are less pervasive than might be expected for a sitting president in historically Republican turf, it could be because some of the presidents partisans fear blowback if they advertise their support.

Patti Haugen has signs in her front lawn for Roy, Allison and Trish DeBerry, the Republican candidate for Bexar County Precinct 3 commissioner. But she worries her home and family would be targeted if she stuck a Trump sign in the yard.

Im not going to advertise it, Haugen said.

Nancy Garrett, a 79-year-old former USAA employee, knows about how people react to public displays of support for Trump. For years, she has hung homemade signs backing Trump from her house on North New Braunfels Avenue angering many passersby, some of whom made obscene gestures..

I got so sick and tired of it that I started yelling back, Drop your drawers. Of course, I didnt mean it, Garrett said. But it was irritating. Thats slowed down and we get a lot of thumbs up now.

Garrett voted for Trump in 2016 because he wasnt a politician and plans to do so again. She backs Trumps wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, opposes the notion of spending less on police and more on social services, and feels that Democratic leaders including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have unfairly maligned the president throughout his tenure.

Theyll spread any lie they can think of, Garrett said. They blame him for everything.

But, Garrett admits, Maybe he shouldve worn a mask more so that people would. But I like him.

On ExpressNews.com: In uncharted waters of competitive Texas politics, can the polls keep up?

Shes not the only one. To date, about $1.4 million has flowed from 78209 residents to a trio of funds backing Trumps re-election bid, raised from nearly 2,300 individual donations. In 2016, Trump raised more than $573,000 from 665 donors.

But fundraising among 09 residents for both sides has surged this election. During the 2016 cycle, the ZIP code accounted for just shy of 20,000 donations to presidential and congressional campaigns, totaling a little more than $5 million.

For all races on the Nov. 3 ballot, residents so far have pumped more than $11 million into campaign coffers, totaling more than 44,000 donations.

Bidens fundraising in the area hasnt been as robust as Trumps. Hes raised about $316,800. But hes amassed that amount from more donors 3,074.

And Democrats in the area are more energized than in 2016. Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue recorded nearly 9,200 contributions back then from 09 residents totaling $194,000, campaign finance records show.

This go-round, ActBlue already has racked up more than 25,000 donations totaling $902,000 and theres still nearly two weeks to go.

Democrats hope they can convince Republicans on the fence about a second Trump term to reject the GOP entirely.

What you see is a lot of those people are turned off by the current Republican Party, the Trump party, Democratic strategist Demonte Alexander said.

In the race to replace outgoing Bexar County Commissioner Kevin Wolff, Democratic candidate Christine Hortick has seized on Republican opponent DeBerrys $1,000 contribution to Trumps re-election bid to try to discourage ticket-splitters.

Jelyn Pizzitola, a lawyer who lives in Alamo Heights, plans to vote for Biden and DeBerry but bristles at DeBerrys Trump donation.

As a female, it kills me, Pizzitola said of DeBerry. But I think sometimes you have people that have to play by the party rules.

DeBerry recently has tried to distance herself from the president while insisting she believes in traditional Republican values.

The DeBerry camp has worked to remind Alamo Heights voters of her community ties including her work for the Alamo Heights School Foundation and Davids Legacy Foundation, an organization dedicated to raising awareness of cyberbullying.

There may be a certain percentage of folks who just say, You know what, I cant go for the antics, said Thomas Marks, a local GOP strategist and DeBerrys campaign manager. So yeah, they may split their ticket.

On ExpressNews.com: I want my vote to count By the hundreds, voters are hand-delivering their mail-in ballots to Bexar Countys elections office. They dont trust the Postal Service.

What drove 78209 resident Monica Flynn to plant a Republicans for Biden sign in her front yard was the U.S. Postal Service.

Flynn had to close her Alamo Heights dental practice for weeks to abide by Gov. Greg Abbotts coronavirus pandemic protocols.

When Abbott allowed dentists to reopen in May, Flynn found medical-grade masks she needed to safely resume her business were scarce and expensive. But the governor made some available for Texas doctors.

I signed up and ordered mine in May, Flynn said.

The cuts in mail service ordered by Postmaster-General Louis DeJoy, a Trump appointee and megadonor, caused delays in mail delivery. Flynn said the masks didnt arrive until August.

Meanwhile, in July, Trump commuted the sentence of longtime associate Roger Stone, who had been convicted of seven felonies for impeding a congressional investigation into the 2016 Trump campaigns possible ties to Russia. Trump acted days before Stone was to begin serving a 40-month prison term.

Flynn was appalled.

A presidential pardon I think of as something you do for some old guy who was in prison because he stole a loaf of bread, she said, not for someone who is in prison because they were convicted of a crime that was directly related to what they did or were accused of doing that in some ways related to the president, she added.

Flynn became more vocal about her plan to vote for Biden. But that doesnt mean shes thrilled about the former vice president or that she plans to back Democrats up-and-down the ballot.

My vote is a vote against Trump, not a vote for Biden, Flynn said.

Local newspapers in Ohio have exposed a plot led by Republican activist Renea Turner to build a posse to kidnap and murder the states governor, Mike DeWine. Though DeWine is a Republican and a Trump supporter, he was evidently targeted for implementing mild restrictions to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed over 5,100 Ohioans.

Turner confirmed in a Friday interview with Cleveland.com that she was trying to recruit people to place the governor under house arrest. The plan was revealed when an individual she attempted to recruit filed a police report last week. State police then visited Turner but did not make an arrest. As of this writing, not a single national news publication had reported the Ohio developments.

Though it is not known how far advanced this particular plot was or how many people were involved, it comes just over two weeks after federal officials arrested over a dozen fascists who planned to kidnap and kill Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and also discussed targeting Virginia Governor Ralph Northam. Trump has made no secret of his plans to mobilize far-right supporters to invalidate the popular vote and attempt to remain in office. This strategy is focused particularly on battleground states like Ohio and Michigan.

Turner is a Trump supporter who has connections to a group of Republican state legislators who have been calling for DeWine to be arrested for the damage to business interests caused by statewide lockdown measures.

State Representative John Becker, one of this group, told the Dayton Daily News on Friday that he personally met with Turner two weeks ago. In a short video responding to the revelations, Becker said Turner was building a posse whose plan was to arrest the governor at his home, put him on trial for tyranny and with the potential for that being either execution or exile.

Six weeks ago, Becker petitioned a prosecutor to file criminal charges against DeWine for terrorism, inducing panic and other crimes related to the lockdown. In the same YouTube video announcing his awareness of the plot against DeWine, Becker provocatively repeated calls for viewers to submit affidavits in support of his effort to arrest DeWine. Earlier this autumn, Becker cynically declared: When Gov. DeWine is arrested, I sincerely hope that he is wearing a mask and doesnt get tasered.

In a press conference held Friday to address other matters, DeWine responded to a question about the plot by saying he had not been previously briefed by police or federal officials.

He indicated that he took the plot seriously: Look, we have people in every state who believe that they can take the law into their own hands. We have people who believe the governments illegitimate and they have every right to go and basically overthrow the government in one form or the other. I think its incumbent upon all of us to denounce that and say thats wrong.

On Thursday, the day before details of the plot emerged, Turner traveled to the state Capitol and held a swearing-in ceremony for herself, claiming she was the legitimate governor, and presented a notarized oath of office signed by several supporters. In a Facebook post about the swearing-in, Turner said, Governor Mike DeWine has become concentrated, grown and has become a Tyrant and will be held accountable immediately. He will receive a Tyrants punishment.

Turner acknowledged on Friday that state police visited her after reports of the plot surfaced and treated her in a friendly manner, telling Cleveland.com that one policeman said he was just there to check out my temperament and what my plans are.

Another state legislator seeking to oust or arrest DeWine, State Representative Nino Vitale, claims the coronavirus was created by Bill Gates. Vitale led efforts earlier this year to force the resignation of Dr. Amy Acton, the director of the Ohio Department of Health and leader of the states coronavirus response, who stepped down in June due to death threats.

The Columbus Dispatch reported that in May, protesters, some armed, showed up at her Bexley home several times. Acton was given security detail, an unusual step. At the time, an ABC affiliate in Cleveland wrote, Neighbors reported several men walking up and down the street with assault weapons stating that there will be no violence for now.

Representative Vitale referred to Acton, who is Jewish, as a globalist and a medical dictator. Thirty-two Republican state legislators, including Vitale and Becker, signed a declaration demanding DeWine reopen the state immediately.

Earlier this year, Vitale and other state legislators said DeWine was attempting to set up concentration camps in the state. If your child tests positive for COVID they will remove your child from your home, Vitale said on Facebook. His claims were also picked up by the Breitbart-linked Ohio Star, which published an article titled Ohio FEMA CampsStill More Questions than Answers on September 4.

A report in the Ohio Capital Journal raises questions about Vitales possible ties to Turner herself, but makes clear that she was at the very least motivated by his incendiary statements: Turner shared one post by Vitale from May 18, in which he accused DeWine of giving himself total dictatorial power. Vitale also falsely suggested the governor knew about the virus in March 2019, many months before the novel coronavirus was ever discovered.

It is not known if Turner has met with more legislators beyond Becker, including Vitale or the other Republican legislators sponsoring the impeachment effort: Paul Zeltwanger and Candice Keller.

There are also questions as to Turners possible ties to the Trump campaign.

When Turner ran for governor in 2018 as a Republican write-in candidate, her running mate for Lt. Governor was Keith Colton, who earlier in 2018 had been a candidate in the Republican primary for Congress in the states ninth congressional district. Colton won roughly a quarter of the primary vote, or 6,263 votes, indicating substantial institutional support.

Colton claims to have been a fairly prominent member of Trumps 2016 campaign, claiming to have worked in West Virginia, Michigan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina, and Ohio.

In depth

The fascist coup plot in Michigan

The exposure of a plot to assassinate Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has uncovered the existence of a nationwide underground far-right terror network.

It appears this claim has some validity, since Coltons campaign website featured a photo of him with Donald Trump from 2016. An AP photograph from 2017 also shows Colton attending the presidential inauguration ball in Washington D.C.

Video of a 2018 campaign event shows Colton saying he had the Trump staff living with me for 3 months [in Ohio] before the election. I was pretty much involved in all the Trump events on the north coast, from Toledo, Cleveland, Akron. I did a lot of VIP seating, he claimed, adding that he got a secret security clearance and picked up the vice president on one occasion, as well as driving around a Trump campaign spokeswoman, Katrina Pierson.

Ohio is also a hotbed of militia activity. The Michigan plotters met in Dublin, Ohio in June, and FBI agent Richard Trask indicated that representatives of militia groups from several states were present.

After the arrests of 14 Michigan plotters earlier this month, the Columbus ABC affiliate reported: In Ohio, a dozen militia groups have either started or have been active on the website MyMilitia.com since March when Governor Mike DeWine ordered people to stay in their homes due to the coronavirus.

As in Michigan, the anti-lockdown rallies earlier this year provided the basis for far-right groups to meet and plan. Many well-funded right-wing groups were involved in planning the anti-lockdown rallies that took place at the Ohio state capital in April.

The event was sponsored by FreedomWorks, a subsidiary of a group funded by the billionaire Republican Koch brothers. The Ohio Liberty Coalitions president is John McAvoy, who the Center for Media Democracy explains is on the board of the Northwest Ohio Conservative Coalition.

While many questions remain about Renea Turners connections and about how far advanced this particular plot was, what is clear is that the Trump administration has created a climate so toxic and violent that plots like this one became inevitable. This is not an accident, it is a critical element of his political strategy. The Democratic Party has remained completely silent on these dangerous developments in Ohio.

Activist with ties to Ohio Republican legislators plotted to kidnap and kill Governor Mike DeWine - WSWS

Even if there were no COVID, no corruption or climate change, this issue alone provides ample reason to reject President Trump and Republicans in New Jersey: They are a grave danger to as many as 133 million Americans with preexisting conditions like cancer, asthma, and diabetes.

They are promising to protect people with those pre-existing conditions, a key component of the Affordable Care Act. But what they have done since 2016 is nothing except pursue their all-out assault on Obamacare, where those protections lie.

So people like Daria Caldwell of Flemington, a 62-year-old cancer patient who lost her job and health benefits in this pandemic, live in constant fear. Shes still years away from qualifying for Medicare and could be left without any coverage if Republicans win in the Supreme Court next month.

Dissolving the Affordable Care Act would cost me my life, she said at a forum on Thursday. That sounds dramatic because it is. I dont want to die, but I feel like a price tag has been put on my head, and the constant threat of will I or wont I have insurance is beyond anything I thought I would have to endure as an American citizen.

The core lie from Republicans is that if they succeed in abolishing the ACA, they will produce something better, something that forces insurers to sell policies to people like her. Great, at first glance.

But Obamacare also caps the premiums insurers can demand, and the out of pocket expenses. It bars insurers from selling fake policies that, for example, include no hospitalization or chemotherapy. Without those protections, Caldwell would be out of luck, even if the rule says they must sell her a policy.

Republicans have never come up with a plan to do all that, in all these years. Their promise is hollow. Its a fake protection, good only for a talking point.

Which brings us to the Republicans running in all the toughest races in New Jersey. Each is making a phony promise, just like this, as a form of political cover.

* * * * *

Start with Rosemary Becchi, the tax lawyer challenging Democrat Mikie Sherrill.

Becchi wants to abolish the ACA, but claims she could still protect people with pre-existing conditions by giving out tax incentives to insurers who do the right thing, and penalizing those who dont.

It wouldnt work, experts say. And its politically unrealistic, given that there is no political constituency in support of it. Its a talking point, nothing more.

Thats ridiculous, says Linda Blumberg, a health policy expert at the Urban Institute. You dont have to spend the money at all, you just set the rules for insurers and they all follow them, which is what the ACA is doing.

Not to mention that if Obamacare were repealed, as Becchi hopes, wed also lose the subsidies that help people afford insurance.

She then falls back on her personal story of a child born with a medical problem, as former Rep. Tom MacArthur often did in 2018, even as he led the charge to repeal Obamacare. It was fake then, and voters rejected MacArthur for it. This is no different.

Other Republicans are at least as bad. David Richter, former Democrat Jeff Van Drew, Tom Kean Jr. and Frank Pallotta are also running under the banner of a party trying to kill the ACA, joining and strengthening its coalition, and trying to evade responsibility for the danger that presents.

Richter and Rep. Van Drew say they wont push to repeal the law, but that means little if they stand idly by and let the court do the dirty work for them, while offering no plan to replace Obamacare if it is killed. Kean and Pallotta are even worse they wont answer the question on repeal of Obamacare.

Insurers have clear financial incentive to exclude sick people from their ledger. Thats why the ACA had to provide so many protections, something you just cant get from a stand-alone Republican bill.

Theyre either trying to mislead or they dont understand anything about private health insurance, Blumberg says. And what theyre bargaining on is that because private health insurance is so complicated, people will think its a real protection. I would say, how dare you?

* * * * *

The American Medical Association essentially did: Abolishing the ACA would do serious harm to patients, it warned, and in the midst of our fight against a pandemic, would be a self-inflicted wound that could take decades to heal.

Trust respected patient advocacy groups like that, or the American Cancer Society. Or those with the most to lose, like Scott Chesney who was paralyzed from the legs down by a rare stroke at age 15, when he was an athlete at Verona High School, and now fears losing his health coverage if the ACA is overturned.

He needs a regimen of expensive medications just to pass food through his body. If I cant afford it, I dont live, says the married father of two.

If Abe Rosenstein of Edison could no longer afford his anti-viral, anti-bacterial and immunosuppressant drugs, he says hed lose the new kidney he got four years ago and have to go right back on the transplant list. Thousands of people whove had COVID-19 may now also require kidney transplants or dialysis, he adds.

Angie Tyson Dixon of Camden, who has epilepsy, says she would suffer up to 15 seizures a day without her medication. She relies on getting on her health care through the ACA so she can afford to raise her kids. I lost my mother because she did not have the insurance she needed, she recounts, and we cant go back to a time without it.

If the ACA gets overturned, Joe Biden would come up with a backup plan to protect these people from discrimination by insurers. If you want it to pass, re-elect Democrats to Congress: Folks like Sherrill, Tom Malinowski and Andy Kim, who flipped moderate districts in 2018 because they vowed to defend the ACA.

If you are someone who believes the cost of medical care should fall on those who need it, regardless of their pain or inability to pay, then just tell everyone thats your philosophy. Dont hide it. The least Republicans owe these people is the truth.
