You guys on the ground there wanna clue me in? I know Texas is getting less red with the commies moving in, but I can't believe it's this close to turning yet.
In Austin, the DFW area, some border counties, and most university towns, you'll see a higher instance of Prii, Volvos, Subaru wagons, and questionably insured wrecking yard rejects with requisite BETO! stickers. Liberals love him because he's not a conservative and he supposedly hates guns. Welfare recipients love him because he promises free *expletive deleted*it. Millennials love him because he's not an Old Heterosexual White Guy. Otherwise most everyone thinks he's a moron.
True Mexicans (as in people from Mexico, not the generalized ethnic inference) are outright insulted by his ethnicity claims. "Latinos" who are just in it for the ethnic branding think he's cool because Not Trump.
MechAg nailed it when he mentioned Abbott's handling of COVID restrictions, businesses especially. While he did roll restrictions back early, the fact that he did it at all significantly soured a lot of attitudes. I have a real burr under my saddle about it, but I do have to grudgingly admit he's otherwise done well at generally keeping the state on a pro-business and pro-personal liberties track.
