And this is why Austin is turning into a liberal shithole.

Austin

Has been pretty liberal far back as most here can remember

Again, I think you all fail to recognize that a majority of people leaving these states are conservatives.

Dems are registering 200-300k more voters than Republicans in Texas annually. It might take 10 years but Texas will be blue eventually.


That's the plan, can't wait.

I don’t know how much thought the democratic leadership gives it. But their policies are dreadful for the middle class. If you want to live on welfare, great, the Democrats have you covered. And if you’re rich, the Democrats are there for you too.

But anyone in the middle? You’re out of luck.

I caught a little of the Michael Berry show on the way home from work yesterday. He quoted some frightening stats about the increase of Democrats registering in Texas going on the past 3 or 4 years. A 345k increase in one year. Multiply that by 4 or 5 and you've got a state no longer solid red. There has already been a marked increase in Democrat judges elected in Texas.

It's also why I think Florida in addition to Texas has gotten a touch redder


Texas is bordering on purple thanks to legal immigration and suburban/exurban growth. 2020 will open some eyes.

This is the kind of statement that makes it clear one should simply skip your opinion which is usually the type formed by people that spend far to much time staring at a screen and not interacting with humans face to face especially with those that aren't lockstep with their ideals. It is the same kind of useless and harmful drivel spouted from the other side like ALL conservative/Republicans are racist robber barons with a penchant for war.

I hear this point all the time, but do you have any real evidence of this or it's some anecdotes?

Why would you go to Memphis? One of the worst places to live in the country.

You should have picked Nashville, Knoxville, or Chattanooga.

Tennessee is great.
