Will Texas Turn Blue? I believe We Will Stay Red
Mixed Texan Politics ^ | 7/`5/2021 | Donovan Corzo

Posted on 09/01/2021 8:12:13 AM PDT by SaxxonWoods

One talking point I have heard from plenty of conservatives is, “All these people moving here from California are going to turn this state blue!” Over and over again I have to disagree with them. Yes, there are lots of people from the Golden State coming here, over 86,000 of them to be exact between 2018-2019. I even migrated from there to Texas when I was 11 back in ’99. But does that mean they are all bringing blue state politics with them? The data shows something a little different.

Hurrah for someone finally calling out this BS about liberals turning everywhere blue by moving there. If liberals can do that they are the vast majority of America, and that's BS too.

I'd guess many or most of the people fleeing California are the ones who can't stand California's current liberalism. They certainly aren't leaving because they think the Texas weather is better than California's. They'll vote conservative in Texas, because Texas's conservatism is why they're moving there. It's certainly why I'm planning a move there.

Between libs moving here and the illegal invasion at the border, it is only a matter of time, IMO before the whole country is blue. Hell, with the vote fraud operation the Uniparty has in place, it can vote blue without actually being blue.

It depends. Californians from San Diego? Or Californians from Los Angeles and San Francisco?

Texas will only be run by Commie-Rats if election theft is continued to be allowed in large cities.

Just allow mail in ballots. Use voters who typically do not cast ballots. Have them vote Democratic. This is probably the best way to do it.

Right, the true believers in liberalism aren’t the ones leaving California. It’s the conservatives, moderates and high income people tired of high taxation and hogtied business that are leaving.

Productive people in other words. The kind of people you want around.

If every election were conducted on the up and up I don’t even believe California would be a blue State...or NY. With those 2 States the libs begin every Presidential election with almost 90 EC votes....1/3 of what they need to win.

Foreign migration is a different subject, this is about Americans.

Why do you think they are dumping as many Afghan refugees on Texas as possible?

All you have to do is look at red states that have turned blue or purple..

It may take a few years....

But the Biden Presidency may change a lot of working democrats to vote GOP or stay home..

Our only hope....

And, you would be correct. It will especially remain red if Paxton continues his all prosecution on voter fraud.

It’s the illegal aliens that will turn Texas blue as soon as the Assistant Democrats like Sen. Cornyn get them amnesty.

Yeah, I really hate that. Red was not standard until like 2000. It’s like lib media wanted to deflect any connection with commie reds by standardizing them as “blue” and thus, innocent.

We will not go Commie.

It that is signified as Red? We will stay Red.

The media switched the red/blue labels long ago. To hide the Red Communist association link to the ComDems.

Good point.

Are you aware that China is buying large areas in southern Texas?
