One thing I’ve noticed is that expatriates from blue states tend to bring their politics with them when they move. Denver’s influx of out-of-staters was a big part of why Colorado moved from purple to solid blue, and now the same thing is happening in TX as folks flock to Austin and Houston, GA as the black diaspora returns to Atlanta, and NC as the Research Triangle booms. Heck, even Utah’s starting to look more purplish thanks to its tech industry (and the CA imports that inevitably come along with it). It’s going to be exciting to see what happens when Texas reaches its tipping point.
