Because the fastest-growing parts of those states are the most solidly Republican.

Of course, the big population centers (Portland, Seattle, etc.) are getting bluer in the age of Trump, so I doubt much will change anytime soon.  If anything, they will become MORE liberal.

Basically they eventually see the end of the Southern Strategy after Trump.
The Southern strategy has been refuted by many scholars.
