| SanAndreasX said: Honestly, I think it was the complete blue blowout in Texas as much as it was the overall Congressional results. Texas was MAGA's base of power, and Democrats pretty much swept decades of Republican political machinery out of office there despite Musk spending half a billion dollars defending it. The only thing MAGA really has left right now is Florida. |
Careful here. If you compare the maps from 2 years ago with this year, you note that the entire southern border turned from reddish to almost solid blue. This is the "Latino area" of voter who believed Trump 2 years ago and have been "de-ICEd" in the past 2 years. This southern belt won Texas for the Dems, not a general "MAGA is over" movement. These MAGA-people are almost entirely potato sacks, once in the cult, always in the cult.
So this Texas flip likely is a huge "swing voters" result from the Latino crowd. In two years, they might swing back, leaving the Dems with the big cities.
Maybe we see a one-time-anti-Trump result, and the guy is irrelevant in two years (if he holds out that long. His senility likely is accelerating in the next years).
