I knew some them, many are factory workers and the mfg base was dying and they came looking for work. But yeah unfortunately they bring their politics with em.
Not just politics, but culture.
Exhibit A. Mayonnaise and baked beans
Before the first wave of northen locust voters (ca. 1975- 1980), mayonnaise wasn't used in a lot of Texas cuisine. Now it's the default for BBQ potato salads and hamburgers. The handful of indigenous hamburger joints remaining here use mustard instead of mayonnaise. Practically every carpet-bagging BBQ joint that calls itself "Texas BBQ" uses mayonnaise or miracle whip (instead of mustard) in its potato salad. They also use Boston-style sweet baked beans instead of Texas-style pinto beans.
Mayo and baked beans are gross.
Exhibit B: Gun racks
Prior to the the late seventies - the "Urban Cowboy" era, gun racks were ubiquitous in the rear windows of pickup trucks. Every pickup truck had them. Now they're extinct in Texas. They weren't outlawed; it's a cultural shift I blame on thieving illegals and squeamish locust voters.
Exhibit C: Buck knives
When I was in high school, A Buck 110 knife in a leather sheath was a common accessory. If a student showed up with one now, the school would go into lockdown and a SWAT team summoned. Thanks, you GDMFSOB lowdown sleazebag carpetbagging Yankee locusts.
