It's a lot of right wingers that want no taxes or regulations and are gun nuts. And they register to vote in that state.

But demographics are changing nationally. The younger generations are majority non white. I know there are Latino right wingers but we will see how the younger ones are as they get older.

Young people leaving might be an issue also. Especially educated ones that get good job offers in research institutions and tech industry in other states .
