Texas and demographic shift

[ESay]

The US has been going through significant demographic shift which will significantly change the ethnic map, especially in some states.

In the case of Texas, significant growth of Hispanic population has been seen throughout the last decades. As of 2007, slightly more than 50% of all births were related to the Hispanics, while non-Hispanic whites accounted for only 34% of births. And I think that the share of Hispanics will only increase in the coming years in this respect.

Texas is and has been a conservative stronghold of the US politics. How this position can change over the time? What political fate expects for the conservatives if they lose Texas? Or, on the contrary, the Hispanics will embrace the conservative policy, given that they have some common points?

Conservatives can return to their roots and come up with policies that benefit the everyday working person..instead of the wealthy and the corporations. That might be a start. That would help them make inroads with African Americans and continue to with Hispanics. That, and insist the Republican party drop the religious right from their platform. Acceptance and inclusion makes for a larger tent when election time comes.

In addition to the demographic shift, a lot of businesses are moving to Texas too. Oracle, Tesla, Hewlett-Packard, and others are moving to Texas or have already moved there from California. Which brings up the question: are they going to bring their politics with them? If so, the demographic shift and the influx of liberals from blue states could very well flip Texas from red to blue.

Republicans are in a tremendous position to engage Hispanic voters IMHO. Hispanic men tend to ooze with Machismo and are really repelled by the idea of effeminacy.

OTOH, Latina broads like rough and tough American dudes. Remember that the Duke himself was married thrice- all to Spanish speaking chickadees.

People don’t turn Conservative just because they move to a Red State

Typically, and according to the last election, Mexican voters voted predominantly for Trump - the large metropolitan areas have been democrat controlled for decades- but, the Texas gov't runs the taxes for business end of things, which is what most leave their homes for- that said- a lot of people from Ca and other states (especially the "Rust Belt" states Pa and Mich) started migrating (can we call them immigrants) here during the late 70's-it was almost unusual to see a Texas license plate on the freeways around Houston- either way, they, or the natives adapt or go extinct- Texans, by and large are a friendly people- but, they will suffer only so many fools-

Can you elaborate what these policies should be?

Basically, the conservative policy should be suitable for businesses and entrepreneurs. And maybe these companies have had enough liberalism to be fed up with it.

Well, we can start by working out the tax system. Nudge that corporate rate back up, tax the people who make a lot of money and close some of those prime loopholes.
Instead of always cutting taxes for these people and companies hoping it will trickle down (shower) on to the masses..who end up shouldering a lot of the tax burden.
How bout we start there? Not the most popular place to start with today's "conservative".

If Texas goes the way of california shoeless mexicans will have to walk all the way to Oklahoma to find a job

and real Texans might have to join them

All of the Blue areas of Texas are where all of the problems are

Can you imagine this country if Texas and then Florida turn blue? Where could you go if you ain't rich? What would America be like, awash in illegals and permanent economic stagnation if not recessions/depressions? Yeah, we'll all be equal alright, equally poor and destitute. Welcome to North Venezuela.

Welcome to North Venezuela.

I think it could get that bad in time

Charging people more taxes simply because they earn more money is not fair. Basically, all people should pay equal rate.

This is a very sensitive topic and must be approached with great caution.

You mention that Hispanic people are often socially conservative.

In plain English, this means that many of them may have more in common with so-called "conservatives" than with so-called "liberals."

There are a lot of people who are cheering the shrinking of the Caucasian population in this country.

Those people say that once the Caucasians are gone, this country will become socially very liberal.

I am not so sure that such optimism is merited.

Yes, that is what I meant - they are basically 'conservatives' rather than 'liberals'.

Liberalism is the idea of white people (or more correctly those ones of the West), and some of them promote this in their societies. There is hardly even one liberal society outside of the West.
