Just wait 20 years as more Californians flee to Texas and the state legislature is full of Terry Mesas. 20 years ago would anyone have thought someone with this view would be electable at all in Texas?
Twenty years? You are quite the optimist!
I might have thought 20, but I've been in TX 11 years now. (BTW, I did not escape a liberal state, I came from a conservative state.) The dramatic change in the years I've been here is totally nuts and way more than I expected. I'm concerned about 2 and 4 years from now, not 20.
Dallas for example is now a total liberal shithole and I didn't feel that way about it just a few years ago. It's become totally inundated with people that want the hip urban trendy BS, which of course includes extreme liberal politics and full on openly presented socialism. North Dallas and the areas like this Terry Meza is are the prime areas for it too. If it weren't for rural Texas and the growing number of hispanics that are starting to vote conservative it would already be too late.
I say "20 years" as a placeholder for "an indeterminate time in the future", but your point is taken. Washington was much further along in its transformation than Texas, but I was surprised at how quickly it moved into California 2.0. And we had the foresight to structure our state Constitution to prevent cities and counties from acting autonomously in some circumstances (eg. taxation) to prevent "thin edge of the wedge" strategies to change the state.
The compounding effect of Amazon hiring tens of thousands of Bay Area engineers per year is hard to think about. And your governor is foolishly courting these people under some "magic dirt" delusion: he has no idea the hell he's unleashing on his people
Texas is filled to the brim with leftist activist judges. So many egregious rulings in the US court system come out of Texas, it is insane! They are already fucked, they just don’t want to admit it.
