We were already close here in Texas with those fleeing the liberal hellholes of Ohio, California and NY. It won’t take much to tip it. Ft. Worth was the last red big city and Beto flipped it in 2018.
Unreal, Texas of all states I use to think would be the absolute last state to ever turn blue. This is a nightmare. Where are the Republicans calling to impeach Biden?? Last January 2020 anyone remember Democrats impeaching Trump for making a phone call to the Ukraine? They accused him of doing EXACTLY what Joe Biden ADMITTED to doing on videotape: Blackmailing the Ukraine! So where the hell are Republicans now? Why aren’t they doing the same to Biden? Our party is GONE. The damn mofos are doing the same thing they did when Obama was in office: Sit back and allow him to do anything he wants
“It won’t take much to tip it. Ft. Worth was the last red big city and Beto flipped it in 2018.”
Not to worry. Why Ft. Worth, Dallas, Houston, El Paso, San Antonio and Austin may vote blue, Dime Box, Paris and New London vote red.
Ft Worth / Tarrant County went for Biden this year =(
“We were already close here in Texas”
The last several election cycles, Texas has marched steadily toward the Democrat side.
Demography is destiny.
Because of its large population, it will take a large flow to achieve their objective.
Brace yourself for the flood. The colonias of South Texas will likely grow across the rest of the State, like mushrooms after the rain.
Ditto that.
This is what happened to us here in NH
Since covid we have been inundated we people from NY, NJ and even CA
That’s what I would have thought, too. But, then I looked closely at the exit polls from the Senate race in 2018. Interestingly, Ted Cruz did appreciably better with non-native Texans - that is to say, people who live in TX but were born in another state - than he did with native Texans. I can’t remember the exact difference, but I believe it was between 15 and 25-points better.
It appears that comfortable majority of people who are moving to Texas are moving there to escape liberalism and are voting that way. This isn’t true in a lot of other states, namely VA and GA which have been wrecked by interstate migration the last two-decades. But for now, Texas is benefitting from it. Their native born voters, particularly those under 30 are HUGELY liberal.
I live in FL and was hoping exit pollsters were going to ask a similar question here for 2020. They didn’t, unfortunately. I’m curious how the people who have moved to FL are actually voting compared to native Floridians.
BTW, I joined FR (longtime lurker) just to reply to this message.
I saw it in Denton when I lived just north of there. Full of hipsters from out of state. All liberal democrats.
