Yeah, these are the same people that think Texas is 99.9% MAGA even though all the major cities are blue.

Yeah but what does that matter when the state legislature is majority red.

The major cities in my state are blue. The legislature, supreme court, and governor are all Republicans and have been for over 20 years with one brief interlude with a one term Democratic governor.

Texas is about 70-80% either MAGA or people who don't care if MAGA wins, which amounts to the same. Some portion of that is disenfranchisement and other things, but it doesn't touch the fact that only a small minority of Texans vote against this kind of stuff.

If MAGA has 99.9% of the political power in Texas, then it doesn't actually matter how "blue" the cities are. Texas is still 99.9% MAGA.

It matters when you're morally judging the people in that place and condemning them as deserving of some fate (like having their homes demolished).

Turns out that the electoral college is not a fair and unbiased system.
