Well when you alienate a group with build a wall mantra after they supported Bush, maybe it's time to rethink a strategy.





Trump expanded his Hispanic support in 2020 and for some reason you're implying most Hispanics are illegal residents. Hispanics (legal immigrants) are probably more in favor of strict immigration policy than white people.

Pretty funny when the company responsible for moving the Warriors returning from Oakland to San Fran nopes their way out of San Fran.

After I thought about it, I realized 60% was too low. France has been trying to get 75+% rates passed. You'd have to be a moron to think that's not coming here.

All of the wealthy French have moved out to Belgium for tax purposes. France can rot with those tax rates

The rich will always find ways to hide their money from taxes. The middle class will always bare the brunt

This is the stuff that conservatives have been warning about for decades. To see a company with the size of oracle move out of California is a huge embarrassment for the Liberals.

There have been a lot of others moving out with less heft but the trend is real.

I just hope that they don’t bring their liberal leanings to their new locations but my fear is that they will

Good! I hope more companies move to Austin. I've lived here since 2000 (originally from Louisiana). Place has become a liberal shithole. Bought my house in 2010 and will sell it in two years when daughter goes off to college to another West Coaster for 2.5x what I paid for it. Neighborhood is full of Tech engineers from CA willing to live here and think they are Texans. Austin is not Texas! Not anymore!

Austin has been liberal since the 70s Chico. In 2000 it was already uber liberal and not even wierd anymore. Oh, and my house in Dallas has tripled in value since 2000 and there aren't many Cali people here.

Populism attracts the unintelligent. The dream of taxing the rich out of existence is a marxist fantasy to get poor people to vote. In the real world, it has very negative consequences.

It's right wing populism in the US that attracts the mentally deficient.

these tech giants bring their democrat voters with them and ultimately change the government to one that will tax the hell out of them.

Then they move again.

You haven’t been to Austin or Dallas lately, have you? Compare it to 20 years ago and people are definitely not adapting to Texas, those cities are adapting to the influx.

It’s hard to be wrong on every issue as definitely as you are
