Texas voted 47% for Biden last election. In 2018, Ted Cruz nearly lost (within 2%) to a self-proclaimed socialist and one of the most anti-gun representatives in DC.
Its not going to take much more to turn Texas blue.
Why isn't Abbott putting a stop to this nonsense?
I don't want to see Texas turn blue.
He's also part of the political and social establishment there that is desperately jealous of California and thinks its great that people are leaving the West Coast and East Coast/Tri-State area and going into Texas. The strategy of passing favorable laws for Big Tech and having little to no taxes on Big Tech organizations is turning Austin, Texas into Silicon Valley. The West Coast/East Coast emigration and Big Tech ass-kissing is going to turn Texas into a Big Tech Blue State. The strategy is called Silicon Hills. San Francisco, California is Silicon Valley and Governor Abbott wants Austin, Texas to be Silicon Hills. That's the real strategy to flip Texas, the Silicon Hills strategy.

"Technology companies with offices in the Austin, Texas area include Advanced Micro Devices, Amazon.com, Apple Inc., ARM Holdings, Cisco, eBay, ESO, Facebook, Google, IBM, Indeed, Intel, PayPal, Procore, Silicon Labs, Texas Instruments, Oracle Corporation, VMWare, and many others.[3] Dell's worldwide headquarters are located in Round Rock, a suburb of Austin."
Governor Abbott ADORES the Silicon Hills Strategy. He just helped Oracle set up shop in the Silicon Hills and boasted about it on Twitter and in public speeches.
Even apart from illegal immigration, East Coast and West Coast emigration and Big Tech work visas flooding into the Silicon Hills will turn Texas into California with Tornados instead of California with Earthquakes within the next 20 years.
