I can’t exactly spell it out any easier.
Well, Texas isn't a purple state. It's a red one.
As far as blue city is concerned, he's saying that it makes more sense for the red state of texas to have more republican mayors, which it does.
So... I'm not really sure what your point is here.
Oh are you saying Texas in one homogeneous block of republicans?
No, but republicans do run the state.
So you’re saying it’s red and blue?
Like purple?
No. Do you think every red state with blue major cities is purple?
Guess what, that's pretty much all of them. In your mind, with your 'logic', red states don't exist. They're all purple, lol.
2020 presidential vote was 46.5% democrat to 52.1% republican.
Purple.
Yeah... nah. Look at how the actual state government is set up and who controls it.
Actually, don't. No matter what you're going to believe what you want.
Goodbye. Just gonna block ya.
Easy to slink away when the facts don’t line up how you like, hey?
Have a good one.
