DAVID MARCUS: California transplants in Texas are voting Democrat, and they see no irony in it
FoxNews ^ | 10/31/2026 | David Marcus

California liberals move to red Texas, keep voting Democrat, and longtime residents sound alarm

In McKinney, Texas, California transplants explain why they're voting Democrat despite leaving a blue state, as Republicans fear a political shift.

McKinney, Texas, is ground zero for the migration of voters from California to Texas over the past several years. On Election Day, it is these newcomers who may well tip the balance not just in the Senate and governor's races.

They may also decide whether the once ruby red Lone Star State will continue to grow bluer.

I met Oren at The Celt on the picture-postcard town square, where we played a friendly game of pool. He moved from California about a year ago "because it’s a lot cheaper to live" but is voting for Democrats because he believes that Texas needs "more social services and public transit" and more support for transgender kids.

I love Texas—my adopted home—but glad I left the Plano Mckinney area for sunny Florida my real home...

Dallas and the surrounding counties are become blue stains.
Same with Harris/Ft. Bend counties.

I despise this trend and the people who make it a trend.

Why the hell would anyone uproot their family to move out of a Leftist hell-hole, only to take their putrid politics to infect some formerly happy area that was not infected with those politics?

Same for people who come to America to “escape” their country, only to bring the bad parts of their country with them?

I live in a very blue state, and never in a million years would I think of exporting any of this anti-American jackassery to an innocent, un-infected state.

I just do not get why people do that.

Actually, on second thought, I do.

Leftists are all about taking other people’s money and leeching off their productive efforts for their useless and wasteful social projects, and when that money runs out and starts being taken from them as well, it is time to flee and find another host.

Bottom line there are more socialists communists than conservatives in America and they will have to learn the hard way.

I moved here from CA

I know many family and friends that moved here from CA and CO to know their voting habits. We talk politics regularly.

11 vote reliably R. Two are on GOP central committee actually.
1 does not vote
2 are libs and if they vote it’s D

So don’t hate all the transplants. I read a research article that shows that transplants vote percentage wise more conservative than native born.

I am extremely conservative, but I would bear the brunt of the climate created by those leftist douchebags described in the article. Who could blame them if they wanted to shoot me on sight.

I would readily submit to truth serum and an extensive litmus test to get accepted in those states, just so I could say “I’m not one of those a**holes.”

I’ve read elsewhere ideas that contradict the central premise of this article. One is that apparently one factor that helped Ted Cruz defeat Beto O’Rourke was the transplanted Republicans from places like CA and elsewhere. Otherwise, run for the hills folks or you’ll be up to your armpits in Dem voters.

Transplant CA’s are like a plague. They have already destroyed Oregon, Washington, and Colorado. They will do the same to Texas.

Yep, you've provided a description of what a parasite does. We've lived long enough to witness America sucked dry by parasites. America, as we have known it, may not survive.

“I just do not get why people do that.”

Red states/areas are generally nicer places to live. Even rats like a nice place to live.

It is true. Leftism is a parasitical infection.

It won't be stopped by a dotted state line on a map, or a gigantic earthquake that drops a state into the sea.

If it it stopped, it will be by the likes of MAGA where if it can persist in power long enough to show what can be done if we don't let those beasts and criminals take over, it can swing the pendulum.

VOTE REPUBLICAN!

I once saw that California migrants in Arizona vote redder than those born in Arizona. So I expect it’s more of a split, and isn’t moving the needle that much.
