The next election will be very interesting as I think there will be a lot more Republicans than 2016. It takes about two years for a Californian or New Yorker to become Texan and many of the new Texans will be switched over.
We’ll see what happens.
Back in the mid 80’s I moved to Texas for a job and lived there for a couple years. It took me about two weeks to start being proud of being “from” Texas. It’s sort of a border contagion.
