Abbott’s problems started when he let his AG move forward with the stupid SCOTUS election legal action.
Then when the February storms shut down power to a lot of folks, he made some stupid excuses and got blasted for them. And on the voter and abortion bills and it all adds up.
Which is true. When I moved to Austin from the Bay |Area in the late 1980’s Texas was run by Democrats.
And Ann Richards did a lot to bring technology companies here. But she made a huge mistake by underestimating G.W. Bush and Karl Rove. And the state flipped. However it has been turning purple in the last couple of elections and there are indications that it could turn blue in a couple more general election cycles.
Gerrymandering could get interesting. IMHO I think that the Republicans are going to go all out. Which might lead to quite a few court battles. But don’t be surprised that beyond that, some Republicans lose their seats because of the voter bills that they have done.
Older mothers get just as many abortions as teenagers, and it’s not just Democrats. Of course they can afford to go to other states. Republicans are pro-life unless it affects them.
This is the Democrats way of turning Texas blue…import as many illegals as possible which they have done and give em citizenship which they are trying to do.
it’s becoming like PA. a hard red state with a great big blue city and one smaller one. influx of NY puerto ricans bluing things up too in northeast, Hazelton
states dont turn blue because of transitioning of ideas. they turn blue due to massive illegal migration
