Good news from NPR. with a word of caution. (Liberal glee?)"And, he argues, Chabot's dream is probably short-lived given the influx of newcomers to Texas. Yes, many may be conservatives seeking refuge in a conservative state, but it's just as likely many are liberals moving for reasons unrelated to politics. Yet, once they arrive in the red-voting state, their progressive views will have some influence on politics and legislation. As evidence, he points to the results of the 2016 presidential election in the state. Forty-three percent of Texans voted for Hillary Clinton. So, Fuller cautions all conservative movers to temper their expectations: The Lone Star State might get more blue."

Time to use Harvey to deport the illegals. “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”

In truth, Texas would probably make a better sovereign nation that California. Texit?

Building the Trump Wall will do wonders at reducing the number of Democrat voters, who shouldn’t be voting because they are ILLEGAL.

Austin is becoming a liberal cesspool due to all the non-academic silly walk departments at U.T.

[dfwgator]

Dallas is becoming Austinized.

It is these types of unrelenting political blows, he said, that have left him feeling thwarted and outnumbered.

My family lived in CA from 1967-88. I had a similar reaction in 1988, only it felt more like a suffocating wall of regulations closing in around me. We were empty nesters by then so it was easy. Went into programmer contracting and bailed the same year. Never looked back.

Some years back, we visited relatives in Oceanside. Still had that suffocating feeling. Gazillion people milling about the Carlsbad mall and it looked like a Third World bazaar with a babble of foreign tongues. Relatives keep asking why we don't come back, I tell 'em why and they get upset. They think everything is fine and always bring up the weather. We don't DARE talk politics.

Not exactly true. Those transplanted Kalifornican “conservatives” are bringing their liberal ideas to Texas and changing the political environment and raising property taxes.

The more conservatives flock to Texas will only confirm, “Don’t mess with Texas”.

We need more states like Texas. Too bad some of those conservatives missed stopping in Minnesota, they could use a lot of conservatives there. Getting to be a muslim and liberal foothold that won’t be easy to resolve.

Conservative Californians are welcome here, but I resent like hell when California Democrats flee the hell hole that their state has become only to vote for the same left wing policies here.

[a fool in paradise]

Caliphony’s taxes are unsustainanle and with vote fraud conservative voters are disenfrancised there.

Even when the people pass a measure like prop 8 the corrupt AF governor and courts deny the duties of office and refuse to represent the voters at the supreme court level.

They think everything is fine and always bring up the weather.

The weather in Algiers, Beirut and Latakia is similar to that of California, but for some reason, no one is moving to those places.

I fled CA for N. Texas about 6 yrs ago, and the people I’ve come to know here made me feel very welcome.

I’m very proud to call myself a Texan now; dropped the “former Californian” thing a couple years ago.

I’m cautious here. Everywhere else Californians flood in, they soon look around and start electing democrats for social reasons. Colorado and Arizona to name two, etc.

Texas don’t have room for California thinking...none.
