To: I want the USA back
They will vote democrat and transform Texas into a California with ranches.

It's worse than that. Many conservative states are headed for a permanent socialist shift. No Republican will ever be elected President again. The USA is becoming a bigger version of California which is becoming a bigger version of Greece. What I don't understand about the Democrats is why buying 51% permanent control with other people's money is not enough. They want 90% control and total bankruptcy of everything. They want the total destruction of the USA and won't stop until they achieve it. We've reached the point where only a major world war or a military coup can stop this slow motion train wreck. It's about time gather your belongings and head for the exits to look for the least injurious spot to leap for. This track goes to the gas chambers.

There are some twists and turns to this, as was seen starting about 20+ years ago in Utah. Wealthy Californians fed up with California went there, built enormous McMansions, loved the scenery, and within a few weeks were bored to tears.

They sorely missed those things that made California such a cesspit, such as adult and liquor stores, lots of adult oriented entertainment, expensive and effete dining, and all sorts of expensive and gaudy stuff that appeals to the noveau riche but is laughable to everyone else.

The amusing part was when they tried to persuade the locals to bring all that gunk to rural Utah. Serious, very conservative Mormons with strict family values. “Import Babylon? Uh, no.”

So the bottom line is that there are now a bunch of empty McMansions in rural Utah, mostly paid for, but abandoned white elephants.

Thus the question becomes “How will Californians adopt to the Texas lifestyle?”

Most likely, in the currently liberal big cities, they will fit right in, while sneering at everything Texan. Elsewhere? Well, in most of Texas they do things differently than in California, and are probably quite happy to keep doing things the Texas way. And if the Californians find that intolerable, well, tough.

That’s because the RAT strategy is to flood red states with refugees who are likely to bring their misguided voting habits along with them.

Proof of non-RAT voting registration should be required of all new residents. < /sarc >

These people who move to Texas in the fall and winter months may have an unpleasant surprise come July.

“The exodus from Blue to Red States will grow and get faster.”

Moving from California to Texas is like jumping from the fire into the frying pan.

Texas is red today, but will be blue tomorrow. The state is doomed by demographics that cannot be reversed.

Something like 70% of the babies born in Texas hospitals are to Hispanic mothers, legal and illegal. But even if the mothers are illegal and can’t vote, every newborn that comes out of them is an American citizen, who at age 18 will become a voter. And we know who they’re going to vote for when they’re old enough to do so.

It will take 20-25 years, but I expect to see Texas first become a “battleground” state, with shrinking Republican totals vs. rising democratic totals. Finally it will “tip to the blue”, first with narrow victories for the ‘rats (just as we are seeing now in states like VA, CO, and NM), and then, solidly blue.

Of the Hispanic newcomers, we’ll get _some_ of their votes, maybe 25%. But that leaves three out of four for the other side. How long can this cohort of the population continue to increase, before “Texas” topples over into “Tejas” ??

This is one of the best arguments for Texas Secession that I have heard. I’d sooner issue work visas to folks from Mexico than California.

I totally believe your post.
So far nobody has taken my bet that Texas will go blue POTUS before it secedes.
