Following President-elect Donald Trump’s incredible and historic victory in the election to become the 47th president of the United States, winning both the electoral and popular vote, New Mexico Democrats are taking a drastic turn from their partisanship.
After the Democrats’ decisive defeat, New Mexico Democrat politicians are trying to urge Republicans to now come to the table after leftists have gone on years-long tirades, legal battles, witch hunts, and attacks against Republicans, specifically supporters of President-elect Trump.
Sen. Martin Heinrich, who is now in the minority in the U.S. Senate, tried to have his cake and eat it, too, saying he wants Republicans to work with him to find “common ground,” while also bashing Trump, claiming he has an “extreme and divisive agenda.”
Far-left Democrat Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham released her own word salad statement, imploring unity with Republicans, who she has demeaned for six years as governor.
“With the election in the rear-view mirror, I encourage all New Mexicans––regardless of political affiliation––to come together and work in a bipartisan way to build on our successes and continue solving our shared challenges,” she wrote.
After the governor’s statement, state Rep. John Block (R-Alamogordo) wrote, “No. Expect the greatest possible amount of resistance every single step of the way these next two years. You have treated us like garbage for six long years, called us lizard people, bashed our sheriffs, snatched our rights, raised our taxes, killed our jobs, locked down our families, abused taxpayer dollars, settled sex assault claims, and bashed anyone who disagrees with you — even members of your own party — with hate and vitriol. Expect your agenda to stall and die on the vine because it’s time for ALL Republicans (and hopefully some Democrats) to unite to crush your extremist agenda, which has poisoned our once-great state. But we will heal our land. #MAGA”
In a different post, state Rep. Stefani Lord (R-Sandia Park) wrote, “New Mexican Democrat politicians need to pause for just a moment and reflect on the high number of people who voted for Trump here in our state. It was not a Kamala landslide by any means. Nearly half the people didn’t vote for her. That means that a large number of New Mexicans voted not only for Trump but also against everything Kamala stood for,” adding, “Americans are not on board with the radical progressive agenda that is consistently being pushed and marginalizes the moderate democrats, especially in New Mexico. I seriously hope you remember this when drafting bills for this next session.”
Far-left Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller wrote following Harris’ defeat a similar message to that of Heinrich and Lujan Grisham, writing, “As Mayor, I will always stand up for and serve every resident of our city. While many are anxious about what a second Trump presidency will mean, in [Albuquerque] we will continue to work together, respect one another, and fight for a better future for our families.”
Other leftist politicians, such as New Mexico House Speaker Javier Martinez and New Mexico House Majority Whip Reena Szczepanski, defended Harris’ campaign and attempted to run cover for the lame-duck former Democrat nominee, while others, such as Rep. Melanie Stansbury attempted to inflame voters with the same tropes that led to their presidential election defeat, claiming Trump and his supporters are a “threat to democracy” and women’s rights.
Remember NM
When the righteous are in authority, the people
rejoice: But when the wicked rule, the people
mourn.
I agree with John Block. Fight Fight Fight
I also agree with John Block. They are scared now because they know next time We Win our State Back. Enough! Awake up People.
Completely delusional or worried about what Trump might do.
While many New Mexicans voted for Mr. Trump, the majority still voted to keep the same democrats in power that have placed this state last in so many categories. Time to wake up folks and realize doing the same thing over and over doesn’t work.
So true
I could not have said it better!
You are absolutely correct J. The way these criminals are ruining NM is unforgivable. A lot of my friends have moved to places like FL, ID, SD, AR, TX, MS; You get my point. These people were hard working upper middle class people that NM can ill afford to see leave. If the democrat voters in this State do not see the error in this, I may be next. You know the insanity of doing the same thing time after time and then expecting a different result. Absolutely insane.
Doing the same thing over & over and expecting a different outcome is the definition of insanity…
Oh, NM, blue in a sea of red.
The last in everything, but voters continue to return these people to critical positions shaping the destiny of NM.
When are we going to have the conversation about The Popular Interstate Compact. By State law all of NM’s Electoral Votes go to Trump. This law requires all of a State Electorial votes to be cast for the winner of the popular vote.

Additionally, under The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact with 17 States signed on would/should have Trump 504 Electoral Votes with Harris receiving 17.
Looks like you just started that conversation. Keep saying it and let us know how to help broadcast this information. I am not as familiar, but you have my interest.
Rev. Rico
This only applies if a Democrat, socialist, or communist wins the election.
Therefore I submit, the GOP is refused the same standard because of racism.
Please do not fall for this canard. This is just an attempt to circumvent the Electoral College. The Founders did not intend the President and Vice President to be elected by popular vote because they knew this could lead to over representation in some areas of the country and under representation in others. They wanted to ensure the entire country was represented when determining President and VP.
If this had been in effect in 2016 we would have gotten Hillary for president. As bad as Biden has been I shudder to think what Hillary would have done to our country.
Dems agenda now is abortion till birth, open borders and no oil. I cannot support this evil agenda to kill our economy as well as babies ready to be born. I also do not support the selling of baby body parts. The baby parts have to be taken while the baby is still alive. A very evil agenda.
And after calling us Nazis they want us to work with them? BS!!!
How do we reach voters to convince them to vote differently??
I would not trust them as far as I could throw them. They just lie like it’s nothing. They’re just trying to cover their butts and Keller. We live in a sanctuary city for gosh sakes, we have Venezuelan gang members in our city, causing havoc, etc. MLG is a liar and so are all the other Democrats are just trying to look good. Well, We all know a leopard can’t change its spots and that’s exactly how you guys are liars, cheaters, and could care less about that people of New Mexico
Yes NM is a majority a conservative state. I was at the poles and saw many old folks having issues walking, reading, understanding. Many that do not speak or read English. Most only know to vote democrat with out know the dems are now socialists. Why, because of our corrupt left wing news, and the Spanish station lie as well. Maybe one day they will learn that voting for the dems keeps them in the same place finically (or worse) year after year. As far as NM democrats go, they are all still pushing to control us, tax us, and keep us subservient to their RULE, NM does not have the “we the people” mentality so until they do they will continue to suffer
New Mexico, the last-place ranking standard, is a prime example of “you can’t fix stupid.” The election just proved the failure of the education system. Bi-partisanship with demos, now there’s a sad joke.
Yep.
Big question is, do the majority of New Mexicans actually vote repeatedly for these failed Democrat candidates like Heinrich ,etc.?? The NM Republican party never considers an audit to inspect absentee ballots. Our Secy of State is a Soros puppet. As Soros says, ‘It’s not who votes, it’s who COUNTS the votes, that matters.’
In 2020, questions arose about the validity of NM absentee ballots.
The Trump campaign subpoenaed them from NM Secy of State. Twice.
She thumbed her nose at the subpoenas and NEVER produced the ballots.
Hmmm…if the ballots were legitimate, she simply would ‘ve
shown them. After Biden was sworn in, Trump and his attorneys were hammered with Jan. 6 lies and the rest is history.
My daughter & son in law were in the military at the time living in CA.
They received their absentee ballots and noticed they looked like a cheap copy of a ballot, not even centered on the page! When they questioned the validity, they were told it was fine, just fill out and return. My guess is, these military absentee ballots are NEVER counted. There’s only one way to find out. An AUDIT, please!
In 2020 there was a county commission that wasn’t going to certify, wanted to do a cast vote count. The governor proceeds to threaten them with removal. So 2 backed down and the other gets removed. One of our issues is a very corrupt court system that refuses to do other than what the governor & SOS demand. If every red county would do this together it might have some use, but that’s never going to happen. And now our courts are filled with Emerge judges. The Marxists really do control our state. You disagree with them and you will pay a large price.
Amen John Block! Don’t give in to ANY of their agenda! When you play nice with a snake, you get bitten! They are snakes! Don’t give them any quarter and fight their agenda every step of the way! We need to bring a national spotlight on everything that goes on here in New Mexico and expose the corruption. When people that I know from other states hear about what goes on here in New Mexico they are floored! They absolutely can’t believe that the corruption, abuse of power etc can go on anywhere in America…..but it does, right here in our home state. And because New Mexico is so remote, so backward, and so isolated news wise, the rest of the nation doesn’t know what goes on here. They need to know….President Trump needs to know…..the House of Representatives needs to know….and the Senate needs to know. Newsmax needs to know and Fox News needs to know.
Republicans if you work with these tyrants we will destroy you. I want federal funding cut from NM. Make them pay. I’m a native New Mexican btw. Hell, Bill King would of been calling for their heads!
The Christian thing to do is reach across the table and offer a handshake as a sign of Goodwill, but Heinrich, MLG and Vasquez and the Democrats are a Party of late term abortion….that means up until birth they can dismember a baby until it’s dead in the mother’s womb.
Their campaign was run on protecting women’s reproductive rights. There scare tactics worked….abortion is the new birth control method paid for by our tax dollars..
I cannot in earnest be a hypocrite and shake someone hand for unity sake knowing they are providing abortion mills.
My thoughts are Martin and little Michelle are cowards. They only think of themselves and MONEY. Not the people of NM. I’m sure they are Pissed that Trump is President. I don’t care it’s not about them the people of NM put need to be the first thought NOT THEM. Yvette should have been voted in not the POS that got in.NM needs to be cleaned up but it can’t till people with hearts and souls are in NM government
Didn’t Pompeo mention a list of Governors who were compromised by the Chinese government. Hmmmm! Let’s see the list.
This reminds me of the bully that claims “I was just playing around.”
When confronted with stiff opposition, the tyrants now want to -say- they want to “cooperate”.
It’s really just a set up to claim the system is rigged (cry victim) and complain that no one wants to work “with” them (do what they say) when they don’t get their way going forward.
Compromise is a cornerstone of democracy; however, it’s a fact that the radical left communofascists have no interest in democracy.
As a law abiding citizen who is now waiting on a seven day waiting period to take home a revolver I am more resentful than ever about how we have been treated by this contemptuous Democrat party. I am ashamed of what they have done to New Mexico because of their arrogant and condescending habits. We must fight them every inch of the way on every issue. There is no compromise because conservatives always give and they always take.
All of us living in eastern New Mexico, have to come to the realization that we have no representation at the federal level. And the representation in Santa Fe is almost useless because of the Marxist democrat majority. It’s time to leave New Mexico and create our own state. We have the tools to do it. We could call it New Texas. After all eastern New Mexico was part of Texas before it became a state.
heil Heinrich will say what he needs to in order create a sense of unity and pull us close enough to be able to reach around and stab us in the back. Just like the sensible gun laws that involve taking our guns while he claims to be an avid outdoorsman. Or telling us about the evils of using petroleum products while he’s hobnobbing around the globe burning thousands of gallons of fuel and telling us we need to stop traveling so much. I could go on sharing information from his newsletters but most on here already know. When I have shared his posts with leftists they just say I’m misreading or misunderstood when it’s in plain English.
Are they really so clueless, or just lying their asses off…again.
Heinrich is even dumber than I thought. And MLG is just a fallen Catholic, lusting for dead babies.
The real issue in NM is that so many people do not know what they are voting for as they replicate what their families have always voted for. They seem to be totally willing to be loyal to NM even if our leaders are not loyal to us. They vote Democrat because their families have always voted Democrat. When I lived in Alabam, the saying went “Thank God for Mississippi or we would be rated 50th in education. Now we live in a state rated at #49 out of 50. We were recently rated $2 on the worst places to retire mainly due to crime. Heinrich brags that he will stick with the values and principles he always has, even though frankly that is not good enough. Why are we satisfied at being one of the worst states in the US? When will we demand our politicians and local leaders commit to challenging goals and do all we can to meet those goals and anything less in unacceptable. The ads offered by Gabe were despicible as he has no character, but to lie and deceive. Our standards for selection are weak and our main media supports them because of party allegiance. We need change alright as what we have now is unacceptable. I love the people here and our state has much to offer, but our leaders are among the worst. I hope and pray for change that encourages us to set higher standards and achieve progress each and every year.
The party of death wants unity? What a load of crap. Chucky Schumer is the latest to come out with this deceitful rhetoric. It makes me sick to listen to them.
As their riots in this country begin, there are no calls from them to put an end to it. Why? Because this is what they want and spent a ton of money on.
Justice is coming and these demons will be throwing everything they can at us. In the end, treason will be their legacy, and nothing can stop what is coming.
Once again the majority of New Mexicans failed the most simple
IQ test . Voting
