I’ve been saying for years that the insanely heavy-handed politics of both Florida and Texas aren’t an accident nor are they a miscalculation. They’re a deliberate policy to drive out liberals, attract conservatives, and ensure that both Florida and Texas (and their precious, precious electoral college votes) remain red.

Most the Californians moving to Texas are conservative from my experience
And the moderate or liberal ones are seeing that even though the income taxes aren’t there, that property taxes have to be astronomical to make up for it. So that relatively cheap McMansion 1:45 from Dallas, is gonna end up costing double after 20 years of taxes.
Then leaving.
Trump won Texas by less than 633k votes. The margin hasn’t been that small since before 2000. Republicans are scared of Texas turning blue so they’re pulling every dirty trick they can think of.
