I actually think Mexico could be Republican. Have to imagine a lot of the people who move to places like Baja are pretty similar to the sorts of people who move to Florida or Arizona.
Yup. As a kid I sometimes used to visit my uncle in Chula Vista during the summer, and I can confirm. His network of friends and cronies from his real-estate ventures who decided to move down to Baja or purchase property down there were definitely well-to-do boomers of the "Jimmy-Buffett-Republican" persuasion.
A term I literally just made up, but accurately describes the ruddy-cheeked
gringos down there.
