[QUOTE="bucky, post: 1337352, member: 10588"] I thought the (admittedly vague) plan was to regroup in the Dakotas or somewhere like that. I hope I'm wrong, but I think Texas is done in another generation because of demographics and proximity to the southern border. Two generations tops. I get along well with most Mexicans and Central Americans I know too, but although they might be conservative, Catholic, whatever, they vote overwhelmingly blue. You've seen those maps of what the electoral college would look like if only non-whites voted, right? In case you haven't, it's all blue, every state, coast to coast. I hope I'm wrong about Texas and you can turn it around somehow down there, but I don't see it. The worst thing is that when Texas goes solid blue, the whole country is pretty much done and the Republicans become a small, regional party that gradually fades away, like the Federalists in the early 19th century. You are correct that Colorado is much further along the path to hell overall, and that ultimately, they'll come for us anywhere we go. I think what people are looking for is somewhere to move to that will buy us more time and, in my opinion, Texas isn't it. [/QUOTE]
