Well, the Southern states over the past years have boasted about how many people from the northern US have moved to their states.
Perhaps now they are seeing the tangible results of their boasts?
Or maybe, this is just a decision regarding Pres Trump?
Wish I knew.

It's time to celebrate. Bigger picture: It took the near-destruction of the USA in order for Texas to barely vote blue. A traitor is still the President. We still have a lot of work to do

I wonder if Elon Musk figured out that he doesn't have enough money to erase the stench of Trump in Texas.

What I love about this is that Elon moved his factories from California to Texas only to watch it flip blue.
I love this for him.

Trump's rage will be incandescent. Democracy has so hurt his fee-fees. Expect betrayal after betrayal from him as revenge.
Any of you Red folks want to come over to the side of your country now, you're welcome. It's much easier to forgive an ally than someone actively trying to kill my country for me.

Shocked you couldn't see this, it was inevitability. It's been in the cards for 10+ years now. Austin and its growth, plus all immigration, that has been happening for 15+ years.
Rage? He's going to relish his position. He thinks he GOP lost because his name wasn't on the ballot.
It's like you guys create a character analysis, then forget what it means.

Republicans are quick to blame immigration this morning.
I haven't seen one mention gas prices.

You've characterized it as a very very dangerous warzone.
That didn't change.
It still is. Maybe worse now that those very very very dangerous people are really really really mad.
Stay inside, Zed. For your own safety

At this point, who wants anything from Trump? Who can he betray?
Who is going to take a call from that guy now? Even the republicans who won don't have to talk to him, do they? Never mind the lame ducks out there who would like to stab Trump in the temple with a letter opener right now.
What can Trump ask from any republican and expect any consideration?

Hopefully not the leadership of the naval armada that's currently locked and loaded overseas.

(Trump) Rage?
#15 | Posted by oneironaut
The man is badly mentally ill. He'll rage at losing because that's what he always does. He'll plot revenge because that's what he always does.
This will be DESPITE blaming the defeat on everyone and everthing other than himself.

Texans republicans lost 2 seats they've had forever, and 4 of 5 gerrymandered districts.

And I'm specifically referring to this massive referendum on MAGA.
