It’s still more purple. Remember, land doesn’t vote. You may be able to gerrymander state and congressional seats, but governor and president are still the entire state. My hopes is it keeps moving more blue, but then you get the Hispanics in the valley who vote against their own interests.
Texas will inevitably be blue. Just like what happened with California.
I keep patiently waiting but I’m so ready to ditch this place.
don't leave. same reason i remain in florida. that's why they want. if all the sane people leave, you raise the % of insane to sane.
we counter intuitively need more progressives to move and live in florida and texas. these are going to be the two most important starts in the upcoming century
plus while the government is insane, there are many varied and diverse communities in these states. i live in an immigrant heavy community in florid and absolutely love it more than the blue states i've lived in the past. minus the state government, needless to say
I wish I could believe that, but every time an area turn blue all they do is redraw the maps. Texas district 26 and 13 are perfect example of this. 13 was solid red going across north Texas and the panhandle. District 26 was turning more and more blue. So, they took the city of Denton and moved it into district 13. Denton is home to a liberal art college, so they watered it down by putting it in a district that is over 350 miles across, and filled with rural red voters. Meanwhile the extended district 26 north and west to include more red voters.
Edit: This is 26 before the redrew it
