Too many people leaving California for Texas, but continue to vote for the same failed policies.


This has been proven time and again to be a false narrative. The data behind elections show incoming voters are by and large more conservative than existing Texas voters.

55-45 isn't exactly getting kicked in the teeth, though. If Beto can get within 10% of a republican, it's not hard to imagine a more charismatic, moderate-seeming democrat winning.

my anecdotal evidence from Yesterday in Houston. An Indian woman was voting in the Republican primary while I was also voting. Our side - Her and three normal looking Texas dudes, and a well put together white woman.

Dems side - three old angry white women (one wearing a mask), two low T men, and what looked like a tranny.

It’s not.
Everybody freaks out but a dem really hasn’t been close to winning a statewide election in Texas this century.

Texas has become UK Lite.

Indians (dot) and Muslims are taking over.

Bordering states like Oklahoma and Louisiana need to start building a wall.

Paxton will win by about the same margin that Cruz beat Allred. I live in the city of Houston and ya it well left but the normal burbs and outside the cities are still deep red. The thing that people don't give enough credit to is that normal black guys outside the cities here like to vote red. Normal dudes won't vote for Talrico.

The media wants you to believe that all of Texas is Austin, Houston, and the muslim parts of Dallas. Go spend some time in Katy, Coppell, Amarillo, and places like that.

Muslims helped Trump get over the hump in Michigan.

Pay attention people.

Paxton may be a SOB, but he doesn't want to cut penis'/breasts off. He isn't trying to groom kids for perverts.

In order to really have a chance at turning TX blue they would need to flip the nations largest rural population which isn’t happening.

The California invasion has largely ended and 2024 was a complete and total arse whooping. It's safe

There's more of a real chance of that happening in Georgia. The spreads in Georgia have been tightening for a few election cycles. Even leaving 2020 out Trump only won by 2% in 2024. In 2016 he won by 5% in 2012 Romney won by 8% and in 2008 McCain won by 5% . 2004 W won by 17%.

Georgia and N.Carolina is where the concern should ne currently, not Texas.

It'll probably be another 3 more presidential elections before it turns. Trump only won Texas by 5.6 in 2020 against Biden. Harris was so bad though, he came back in 2024 and won by 13.6. That's an 8pt swing back right.

These things go in cycles, but you can pretty much guarantee that by the time they get Texas, we will get California. But I can remember going back to the Bush years there being a group called Texas Blue and they thought they were going to turn it blue by 2012. Well here we are 14 years later and it is honestly not that much more blue than it was. It will take at least 20 more years, and that is assuming hispanics go all in on Democrat.

The islamic stuff is laughable...they are like .01%

The only ones I know are hardcore democrat. That said, the overwhelming majority can't vote. Most are H1B and not citizens.
When we voted in the primary election, I pointed out to my wife that there were no Indians in the lines, and our neighborhood is stacked full of them.

A worthless RINO gets his arse voted out and all you freaks who don’t know shite about the state think it’s going just go start electing dems.

You don’t over react at all.

And how do you propose they stop people of a certain religion from moving to Texas??

Please, enlighten us on some policies one could implement to restrict Americans (legal) from moving here??

Mass immigration and no want to assimilate people was going to always be this countries downfall.
