No. Except in Oklahoma and Florida, a majority of folks seem to despise Donald J Trump.

Exactly. Demographics has little to do with the changes in Texas.
The amount people crying my demos while completely ignoring two years ago is insane. Hopefully they don’t make up the leadership the makes the next moves for the Texas GOP because this level of head in the sand will only keep dems in power in Texas.

Texas is blue because:
1) Abbott and Patrick centralized all authority for data centers and energy industry in Austin.
2) Patrick pissed off cannabis users.
3) Bo French and his ilk are racist degenerates.
4) Ken Paxton and Dan Patrick are turds.
5) Republicans have been in power for 16 years.
6) Trump wanted Paxton.
7) Trump deported the family and friends of many of the people who voted for him.
8) Trump 2.0 sucks.

That’s a possibility. But for now you have to play defense and that means you’re losing ground. This is what happened in Cali and now you guys have to weather the storm and come back stronger the next cycle. Losing one election is bad. If you lose the next one it’s officially over. Texas is truly blue and the nation will be too.

Dude, hot wheels imported about a billion third world shithole people. How do you think third world shithole people usually vote?

Unfettered H1B program for years to bring millions of immigrants, begging California companies to come here and brig their executives, and not closing their own border for the Joetato years, and this is what we got. It was all self inflicted and the people that coordinated made billions. Now we are fricked.

Some of that seems like b******* I spend a ton of time all through South Texas and work day in and day out with majority of blue color Latinos and none of them are democratic supporters.

STOOOOOOOOP!!!!!!!
Look at Mississippi. Look at Alabama. Look at Georgia.
This is all about the wallet and the inability of Republicans to do anything.
Why the hell would anyone keep voting for them? Social issues? It ain’t working anymore.

Paxton-bad candidate and I thought he would squeak it out
My worse case scenario was having Talarico as a US Senator, but having all the state wide offices go Blue was a shock.
I assumed it would be status quo. Our economy is good and state is run well so why put people in office that want more taxes.
I'm hoping it is apathy on the GOP voters and it cycles back and they wake up. I suspect a lot of younger folks are shifting more to the Dems and their free stuff. So I think I see motivation in the younger voter to do something different and there was nothing motivating the GOP voters. Hopefully that motivation for the GOP comes back next cycle.
One thing I notices scrolling through all the propositions for the ISD's and other city props.....they all failed. Nobody wants to spend or be taxed anymore than they are. So I guess a lot of it comes down to cost of living. But then they elect taxing Dems. Go figure
Someone else posted there were 4 MILLION fewer voters in Texas in 2026 vs 2024. That would certainly give greater voting power to Dem inclined voters (Cali transplants, Jeets and annoyed 1st Gen Hispanics)

Those 300 AI centers that may not be built in Texas now need to move to more Republican friendly states now.
It`s a matter of national security in our race with China to stay on top.
democraps don`t want national security, they want us to surrender our country like you see in Europe now.

Our company has offices across the state, this result was not a surprise
Anger started building a few years ago when Abbott and Paxton advanced Christian evangelical stuff. Worse when school vouchers passed, schools closing. Exploded with Trump arrogance about rural data centers, ice etc. How did he think people would react to Ice in a Mexican border state. Texans support border control but not ICE actions.

^this is correct. Dems were highly motivated, Republicans were apathetic for a list of reasons.

i don’t think it’s as cut and dry as you think it is. I know plenty of Texans who want immigrants out at any cost.

Texas was a perfect storm of a lot of things. I already see a lot of fellow Texans blaming the Californians but I think that is just an easy scapegoat and not wanting to acknowledge reality that the leadership in this state has been weak for years.
Yes Paxton was a terrible candidate, but it’s more than just that. Abbott and Patrick have sold this state out and did not have the peoples best interest for a long time. The THC ban was extremely unpopular amongst both party lines, the school vouchers were unpopular amongst both parties, the influx of data center projects have been unpopular in both parties. People have been over Abbott since Harvey, then you had the freeze disaster, now you have people upset with Trump and it just took time for enough people to reach their breaking points.

And, young people flipped over job prospects. It’s a knot that the GOP better start figuring out how to untangle today if they have any chance in the next four years.
So I guess a lot of it comes down to cost of living.

When you bomb Iran because Israel told you to after saying no new wars - you get what you got last night.
I've been thinking about what the midterms outcome would have been without the Iran Debacle and I still think at a minimum the Ds take the House. Outside of gasoline a $4/gallon all the other affordability concerns of young adults was still going to be there. The cost of housing, groceries, consumer goods and services all went up by 25-30% over the 4 years of Biden's presidency and those prices, short of a catastrophic economic deflationary event were never going back down.

Not bombing Iran would have changed almost nothing about where the economy is currently. It hasn't had a negative effect on our economy much at all.
