Is the state of Texas at a demographics tipping point politically?

It's held on as a red state despite rapidly changing demographics.

I'm curious to see how that holds as the years progress.

I honestly thought it'd be purple(ish) by this point.

Go look up the percentages in statewide elections over time.

I don't know the answer, seems like the best place to look

Hispanics are trending far more red than expected

Florida Cubans and Tejanos are outliers nationally amongst Hispanics

Fun fact, Trump was actually closer to winning NY than Kamala was to winning TX

A revolving door of well funded challengers in the big state races keep getting their asses kicked

So long as the state GOP doesn’t betray its voters and their values, nothing is changing

Also, the California migration has slowed considerably. As long as the natives continue to outbreed the invaders, the map isn’t getting less red

I hope you’re right, but it’s not what I’m seeing in the cities. Much like Cali. The small counties don’t matter when you have San Francisco Los Angeles San Jose San Diego Oakland Sacramento etc

I’m not sure what you think you’re seeing but we’ve had enough consecutive elections to make clear that the cities don’t run things in TX. The fact that 2024 was such a bloodbath should be relieving

You’re overestimating the influence of the loud and mentally ill. They’re easily heard, but they’re also easily ignored. Which native Texans are quite effective at doing

The only issue is the leftist that have had to move from the hell holes their policies created only to get to Texas and want those same policies implemented.

Will continue.

Hispanics are far more racist against blacks than whites.

You’ll get to taste this in the near future. Blacks better start saving their stolen money now before regime change takes place because it’s never going back. One group will go away organically and I’ll let you decide which one that is haha. Game set.

To me, Georgia heading blue has shocked me the most.

What op is saying is while what you’re saying is true, it is rapidly changing the other way. That is definitely true.

Seems democrats always get their hopes up in Texas just to get crushed . It will be interesting to see how the states vote in 12 years . With so many people leaving liberal states it’s possible North Carolina, Arizona , Nevada , Pennsylvania and maybe Michigan turn red . Florida had become a solids red state over the last 8-12 years.

Most of the Hispanics I’ve encountered from living in Texas, and hunting in far South Texas for many years, are very hard working, religious, family oriented people. They would rather be beat with a 2x4 than accept government handouts. Everything the Liberals aren’t, and hate.

And they have absolutely no use for the border jumpers O’Biden let pour in. They came in the right way and hold that same expectation for others.

The whole Nation is if you factor in immigrants who should not have a legal right to vote.
