Soros money can't buy everthing - even in Cali

You don’t know how much what map that represents truly disturbs me.

If you look at the Houston/Dallas/Austin triangle, that blue represents unTexans moving here with unTexan ideals. San Antonio has been solidly blue for all my 45 years, and the politics are full-up f’d up, much like El Paso.

I’ll just go back to my all American bourbon now.

You can only take heart in the fact that at the point that map was made, and for right now anyway, there is some red in those areas and more red statewide than blue. It may not help the politics in those areas, but to statewide and to nationwide Texas is red. I also take heart that many moderate liberals are starting to lean right. Trump's approval rating continually going up isn't because more conservatives are all the sudden appearing out of thin air.

It’s not about red or blue, it’s about culture. That map says politics is more important than being Texan. I was born here. Grew up here, had a military career and came back home here.

It used to be something special to be a Texan. That map represents the diluting of Texas to the point we’ve lost what it means to be Texan.

I fear pushing for a favorable shade of purple might be our best option in many locales...

Then you would only be replacing liberals with other liberals, so it wouldn't do anything to help the California problem.

I am more worried about improving the Texas liberal problem. A little more ain't gonna change Cali.

Maybe in the urban areas. But, as those get diluted with non-Texans, their outsize influence starts to impact the state in ways that can alter what Texas is forever.

That is true of America as well. Many people no longer come here to be Americans. They want this to be Mexico, Honduras, Nigeria, Syria, etc. but with more freedom and money.

We no longer have a common core of values and morals.

I can't put all the blame of morals and values on aliens, this has been a degradation from within and the open borders are a result of that.

You are absolutely correct. Really two separate issues for the most part.

I was not clear on that. America has a growing split regarding values and morals due to the rise of liberalism, not due to immigration.

Uncontrolled illegal immigration is a result of the rise of liberalism. I am agreeing with you.

Yep. The American collectivists and elite leftists that use them have always been the problem. More people from collectivist cultures coming here is just a symptom of the problems that were caused from within.
