Let it! A sea of blue masks in that blue enclave. Maybe they will get jealous.
Welcome to FR. Texas was won with immigration, it is being destroyed with it.
Texas has blue counties and cities that plague us just like the other red states.
As for the “judges” that’s a hold over to the Frontier days when the only law in the whole area was the constitutional elected judge and constitutional sheriff. The judge is the constitutionally elected chief executive of the County there are the POTUS aka the chief executive l for that County they are by no means a trial judge and the most direct representative of the people who elected them.
Conservatives should applaud the system we have here where the two most powerful people in the local domain are directly elected by the people they represent. The sheriff is the chief law enforcement and the County judge is the chief executive officer both of them decide how to implement the policies put forth by the elected County board members and or council who serve as the legislative branch for the County. Trial judges are elected separately and have nothing to do with county judges.
Just because blue counties elect and leaders that’s on them. They got exactly what they voted for and in a couple of years can vote them out that’s the constitutional way to change the leadership.
