Collins, Denton, Tarrant are turning liberal it seems. They use to be reliable conservative strongholds; Tarrant even flipped blue in 2020. In 2018, they cucked to Beto as well in 2018. Harris and Montgomery counties are booming as well.

Looks like it will be up to the midsize cities and small towns to keep the state red. The border towns becoming red could also be what keeps the state red..

If Texas goes down, then so does America

Tarrant probably had fake president votes, imo.

It's only a matter of time before Texas tips blue. I don't think there is any turning back from total democrat control once that happens

It's formerly middle class areas being occupied by upper middle class.
America is moving left because of the income inequality gap and the disappearance of the middle class to the upper class.

It's not coincidence that the left is comprised of the ultra rich and ultra poor.

Every single big city eventually turns blue. Name a single big city in the US that's majority conservative. Their might be like 10 tops

Liberals invading Dallas and Austin, illegal immigrants invading Houston. You actually expect Texas to stay red? And that’s not considering vote harvesting

This is one of those statements that seems obvious until someone points it out, and then I realize that I’ve never connected these two dots in this context.

How did they vote in the gubernatorial race?

A single county =/= Texas.

It's been happening for awhile. A lot of hipsters have moved into Fort Worth. Collin County is also changing. Lots of Californians have moved in. A friend who is a GOP official told me that Collin is rapidly going purple.

Thanks to all the progressives moving to Dallas.

Texas will be blue in ten years and anyone who disagrees is not living in reality.

I believe TCU released a statistic a few years back revealing that a greater percentage of their incoming freshmen classes are now comprised of out-of-staters rather than Texans.

I could be wrong about the specifics; but foreigners (Californians and Coloradans in particular) definitely love them some Fort Worth.

If we're just talking major/really big cities - it's less than 5.

Without looking, I’d limit my bets to Oklahoma City and/or Tulsa.

Misery will follow until we have to fight and hopefully win again.

People don’t understand how big the state is and how many people live outside the big cities.
