The nation’s third-largest state has shed its swing-state profile and is now the home base of Donald Trump’s Republican Party
I’ve been saying for years that the insanely heavy-handed politics of both Florida and Texas aren’t an accident nor are they a miscalculation. They’re a deliberate policy to drive out liberals, attract conservatives, and ensure that both Florida and Texas (and their precious, precious electoral college votes) remain red.
Trump won Texas by less than 633k votes. The margin hasn’t been that small since before 2000. Republicans are scared of Texas turning blue so they’re pulling every dirty trick they can think of.
Considering the percentage of californians that have emigrated to TX the past few years, I’m actually really curious to see whether that radical red strategy actually holds or not. Would be pretty hilarious if the californians flip them blu anyway, ngl
Most the Californians moving to Texas are conservative from my experience
And the moderate or liberal ones are seeing that even though the income taxes aren’t there, that property taxes have to be astronomical to make up for it. So that relatively cheap McMansion 1:45 from Dallas, is gonna end up costing double after 20 years of taxes.
Then leaving.
“Taking over”? This happened a long time ago.
The guys you all keep saying are stupid Neanderthals keep winning. What gives?
ie: Gerrymandering wins Florida for the GOP
Craig Pittman was right on the money, when he pointed out that Florida shapes the direction of the entire nation
it looks like a dick, so that tracks
we should wall off Florida. we could call the wall “America’s Cock Ring.”
