It was my understanding that Texas was being “diluted” by people who ran away from California but brought their liberal, socialist beliefs with them, only to display them in the voting booth with dire effect. If I was wrong in that belief, my apologies.
Locally we have the New Hampshire example, where so many people fled north to escape Taxachusetts and all its problems that once-Republican New Hampshire is now considered a blue state, or purple at best.
I used to live in Utah and now I miss that deep-red feeling.

That mistaken scenario got started and some people believe it without knowing the truth of all our elected state officials being Republican Conservatives. I worked in our State Republican Party for many years and had contact with numerous state office holders, all of them Republicans as there were no Democrats, and we are still going strong.
Our new Republican Governor, Gregg Abbott, is a giant of a conservative man in his wheelchair. :o)
The liberal 'dilution effect' you speak of is far outweighed by the numbers of conservative Americans relocating here.
Fact is, most liberals soon find this place too much to their disliking, and wind up returning to their spoiled nests, or seeking out other liberal 'utopias'.
