There is only one way Texas turns blue, and that’s if Democrats push, loudly and consistently, for changes that will materially help poor people. Even if they do that, it’s probably going to take longer than 2-4 years. All you need to do to see this drive across the state, through thousands of acres of crops, where the tallest things on the horizon are the skeletons of shut-down agricultural factories. Small towns where everyone knows each other and they all watch Fox News and the 700 Club.
