Assuming that it is primarily Republicans and conservatives who are feeling California, how can we account for states like Colorado, Nevada and Arizona starting to get a bluer tinge?

Where are they coming from? Massachusetts? Connecticut? New York? it seems as though most of the people from those states are heading to Florida, Georgia and North Carolina.

Read the following article about the 2018 Senate election in Texas. In short, Texas-born citizens voted 51%-48% for Beto, while non-Texan-born transplants voted 57%-42% for Cruz. Those of us (like my wife and I) who left California for Texas saved that state from a certain disaster in that election.

Sadly, I think this may mean some conservatives in Texas are unfortunately raising some snowflakes.

You’re describing an interesting trend. I’ve been saying for years that the single biggest factor in changing political sentiment in this country isn’t race or other demographics It’s URBANIZATION.

“Sadly, I think this may mean some conservatives in Texas are unfortunately raising some snowflakes.”

Unfortunately, the state’s political culture is being changed by higher education. It would appear that native born millennial college educated fools and female suburbanites tried to give us a senator named Beto.

Because many of those "Republicans" are suburban women of the Cindy McCain ilk, who never heard a collectivist promise to "Save Our Schools" they wouldn't fall for.
