While the demographics are changing. We are beginning to see Latinos might not be as blue we had hoped. They are trending to the right instead. Add the fact Texas Is a non voting state, gerrymandered and about to be worse in terms of that. Voter suppression laws. They will do everything humanly possible to prevent Texas from becoming Democratic. We need to stop believing we are one or two cycles away. We are not. Texas would need a massive amount of influx of Democrats who vote. And with these new anti abortion laws and soon anti contraception laws. People are not gonna wanna move here. We need to stop that pipe dream of a blue Texas and focus on states that actually have potential to be Democratic permanently like Arizona and Georgia.
