It's close. The whole Left/Right, Democrat/Republican core disagreement seems to boil down to Urban/Rural. People who live in high density areas (i.e. cities) are primarily Left/Democrat/Urban. Suburbians are somewhat in the middle, but lean right while people in the lowed density populations are Right/Republican/Rural. If all that's true, then Texas turning blue is a foregone conclusion as it's major cities grow.
Around 2000 I was working with the Feds on Bush International safety projects anticipating major growth as the North-South international gateway grew. At the time Houston was among the fastest growing cities in the US. As cities grow, they turn blue. As a state's ratio of Urban/Rural shifts from Rural to Urban, the state turns blue.
Idiots on this forum see the solution as "Treat them like enemies! Make them bend the knee! Kill all who don't!" because they've only seen the world through their TV and computer screens such as GOT. My solution is to infect them with logic and agree we are a symbiotic body that will die if we can't get along.
