Dallas is full of corporate drones and metrosexuals.

The typical Californian transplant is probably more left leaning than average Texas residents but absolutely not progressive (they wouldn’t feel “ safe”) and more pro-business/fiscally conservative. And in this case know exactly how far left heels up would be and that is what they left so don’t want it in the White House.

It’s hard sometimes to describe how far left some Bay Area folks are. The reasonable “classic liberal” sees the problem but recognizes that if they speak up they risk being doxed/cancelled and alienated. So they move to Bend Oregon, Boise Idaho or Texas if the are in big tech

Exactly.

The hub of the 4th largest metro in the nation, loaded with corporations and money, is full of people from all over the place.

Regardless of the red arrow, Dallas County is a hive of wretched scum. Many of them are yankee trash moving here for jobs or are fine with the government providing for them.

LOLOLOL

All the border towns shifting right

The Rio Grande Valley is the most rapidly shifting right area in the country.

The Democrats stupid arse plan that Hispanic people support an invasion simply because the people have the same color skin, totally backfired.

Who woulda thought, a bunch of hard working Hispanics along the border who came in the right way, went through the blood sweat and tears to get the right to vote, don’t want a bunch of 3rd world trash diluting the work force and getting off easy, not having to do the work to become citizens.

Democrats made so many fricking mistakes. Their balkanization of people by race completely backfired.

If I’m not mistaken the only group of people they didn’t lose ground with were white people.

Just my opinion, the Democrats need to lay off the gender ideology stuff. I don’t know if they think the rest of the country is California and New York, but people don’t want that crap around their kids for sure. I do think socially conservative Catholic Latinos don’t want to hear about it as much as we do. It’s a losing issue for Democrats in most places. Stick to the economy and issues like that.

How the heck did Austin flip Republican?

Damn,that is pretty shocking. Rogan and his crew doing work to turn it around from the liberal hellscape it was when he moved.

ETA: I guess it does make sense when accounting for the suburbs there. I just see Austin and think Austin.

The only demographic Harris improved on was wealthy white people, that would explain some of the Dallas voting.

Interesting most that flipped republican were in majority Hispanic populations

Goes to show like the analysts are saying even on CNN, MSNBC I saw yesterday Trump won over Latino voters. Obviously there’s no denying it if even they are saying it

I think the shift in the border counties is because they are being exposed to the massive illegal influx thanks to Biden. They also know that the criminal element is coming and they fear the cartel and criminals running the show like they do in the countries they have fled.
They don't want their cities to become like the cities they fled.

Do you ever think before you post?

Florida, Texas, and this election cycle proves minorities aren't buying Liberal bullshite ideals.
Tarzana is an embarrassment. girl tarzan doesn’t ever think with her head. She is so full of the white guilt that the poor thing fetishizes about getting plugged by minorities

Except fricking Dallas... What is wrong with you people.

FTWs county has a former Smartmatic employee running their elections in 2020 that made them blue for the first time since the 60s. Dallas county hired that guy a couple yrs ago for this election. Dallas is historically blue, but take that info how you will when it comes to moving more blue.

City of Dallas also legalized 4oz of weed. Apparently Dallas ballot was as leftie as you can get. Including equitable hiring and decision making. It's on the Austin fast track

Two big issues here where I live.
First, of you're a Republican, we welcome you. Maybe even with open arms.
If you're not, we don't want you, go home, not welcome here.
Second, adapt to the local drivers. They sure won't adapt to you. Keep people safe.

Looks like some of the Dallas crazies migrated down to Kaufman.
