Opinion of the liberals who moved to Texas in the past decade

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Obviously MASSIVE Freedom Fighters and true heroes. That had to be a tough thing to do to....but it's paying off!

[Hope For A New Era]

what a pointless thread

FF though.

Well it was easy for the ones that moved to Austin. I do salute those brave pioneers who colonized Dallas and Houston though.

FF.
Let's paint Texas blue.

Will it hurt your sensibilities to find out literally zero moved there to tip the political scales??  Lol

[YE]

This is a sign partisanship on Atlas has gone too far.

Austin is a cool place, but the heat...no thank you.

We shall acknowledge their sacrifice.

There's nothing "tough" about moving to Texas.  It's more cosmopolitan than Minnesota by far.   

[Intell]

Conservatives that moved to Texas outnumber them by 2:1 I'll bet you.

No but people leave their prior state much of the time due too expensive living costs, and lmao vote for the same type of politicians that caused their state to be super expensive.

That's impossible because then Texas would've gotten more conservative.

It's an exit poll so take it with a grain of salt, but I don't think transplants are what's turning Texas blue.  Birth rates are very high.

Thats due to immigrants, and due to old Texas anglo suburbs shifting left.

Literally any REAL (i.e., noticeably big) political shift is due to several factors, and a basic understanding of statistics and demography will tell you this quite clearly.  Places don't have huge shifts ONLY due to one factor.  In Texas, you have formerly Republican suburbanites jumping ship (I'd guess disproportionately college-educated women who originally felt "social pressure" to vote Republican), younger Texans being significantly more liberal like all Millennials (and whatever the next generation is), a higher portion of the electorate being non-White and, yes, SOME liberal transplants in major cities.  For anyone who has ever had to play around with complicated Excel spreadsheets, you know how little of a change it takes to completely alter an end product, numerically.  A bunch of tiny changes lead to a big electoral change.

[Beet]

It's not hard at all. My rent has gone down by almost 30% and my effective state income tax has gone from about 6.5% to zero.

The people that move to Austin tend to be progressive, but there are plenty of people that move to Dallas/Houston that are all like Orange County republicans who are more conservative than the Orange County that they left, and hate liberals and taxes.

The one state that is probably shifting left due to migration is probably due to Georgia, in where young professionals are moving to Atlanta, black families moving there from the north and a lack of conservative whites moving there to escape the north (Florida, Arizona and Texas seem to be more popular destinations)

Don't worry, you'll get both right back up in time, my friend.

[bagelman]

Wasn't there a poll showing that it's actually native Texans swinging left but internal migrants shoring up the conservative majority for Cruz back in '18?


Anyway, no vote. A true mix of both options.

Aren't those immigrants included under the category of "liberals who moved to Texas in the past decade?"

ATAB. All Texans are bastards.

[Mr. Smith]

From a certain POV, I am one. So FF.

Minneapolis is far more livable than any city in Texas.

FF's for helping turn TX blue
