Looks like the transition has begun….

Free state vs slave. We’ll have our own businesses.

That's good and bad. I'm l glad they are getting of there but Texas<-------- New California Republic not a good long term move.

Not sure it'll matter. After 20-30 years of brainwashing kids into the Leftist ideology, it's going to all look like California soon enough. Politically, demographically, and ideologically. None of which the Founders intended.

Well at least they are doing something, it's a start.
And it looks like Texas is doing something too.

A GOP win could mean a massive red wave is on the horizon.

The seat “ranges from east of San Antonio down to Brownsville, largely along the Gulf Coast before reaching the US-Mexico border,” CNN reported.

Democrat Rep. Filemon Vela resigned earlier this spring and the Republicans are fighting to take the seat, although it will be gone this fall due to redistricting.

According to AP as of 9:49 pm Central with 74.6% reporting: Republican Mayra Flores: 14,780 votes (51.0%)

Democrat Dan Sanchez: 12,560 votes (43.3%)

Every time I read about one of these moves, my first response is to remember the last lines of The Eagles song “The Last Resort”:

“And they call it paradise, I don't know why

You call someplace paradise

Kiss it goodbye”

Anyway, moving most of 230 likely lefties to a strongly liberal town is not Schopenhauer's Law of Entropy in practice. [see new signature]

I understand that point of view. Understand I’ve been in the global community since the 1970’s Having worked for 22 years in Research oil I’ve seen many
points of view going back to the Iran fall.

I Understand there’s a lot of dumbass on both sides, all that I’ve ever meet are people wanting to better themselves and there families(or lazy folk talking trash), and don’t think I have excuses for any of this, some race, creed, color, and sexes have been played.

Texas is falling to Californiacation fast. Probably less than a decade the Betos will be winning.

Fact is that we're witnessing the globalization of America and we're powerless to stop it. Conservative's sole recourse has always been to vote for reps who parrot our views, but even they (Inhofe, Lankford, et al) betrayed us.

As liberals flee the sewers they've created, they are too short sighted to admit they are the problem. They simply bring their suicidal politics with them wherever they go. Including Oklahoma.

The infestation often begins in college towns. That's very revealing. Cf Norman.
