I still laugh my ass off over o'rourke...he really tried going out to campaign against Cruz for a senate seat, tried running a 2020 presidential campaign...and tried to challenge Greg Abbott in the governor's race...and lost all 3 ...I have to admit he's ambitious 😂

The Democratic and Republican parties used to both have a liberal and conservative wing. The democrats in the south (including Texas) were conservative (generally anti-big government, pro-segregation, states rights, etc.), while democrats outside of the south were more liberal (strong support for new deal policies, anti-segregation, etc.). Meanwhile, the Republicans had basically zero voter support in the south, but the party had more liberal members, like Eisenhower and Nelson Rockefeller, and more conservative members like Barry Goldwater. The south turned red, however, after the democrats passed the Civil Rights Act in 1964. Shortly thereafter, Republicans began to win in the south for the first time ever (including Barry Goldwater winning the deep south in the 1964 presidential election running on a pro-segregation platform), and by the Reagan era basically all of the conservative southern Democrats had shifted over to the now more conservative Republican Party.

@@mathandsciences1980 partially true, it was the conservatives that supported slavery, backed the kkk, as well as racist idea's such as jim crow laws. Back then, it was the democratic party that was the conservative party whilst the republican party was the liberal party. Parties flipped, and now the conservatives are the republicans, and the liberals are the democrats.

Let’s see, ran as democrat, particularly a progressive that while winning by 49% over Williams 47%, still isn’t a good record number to start off with, came out the gate being painted as the black sheep that would creep on the Whole classical Texan Conservative values(a San Antonio Republican political activist laid a black wreathe during the campaign at her Austin headquarters that read “Death to the family” so you can guess where this was going) instituted under her term was the Texas lottery as a means to help finance the Texas school budgets, decentralized school management and attempted the equalize school budgets under the Robin Hood plan, back in 1990 in Houston she both campaigns against the anti-homophobia laws in Texas yet during her governorship signed a law that re-coded the penal law and then criminalized it, as a misdemeanor(party politics wasn’t happy particularly). Also under her governorship but not directly her decision, a long overdue project, a 44 billion national science project fell through with again billions in spent investment and projections for development thrown out the window in Texas for a supercollider because the Cold War ended and Congress was having a hard time justifying the funding 3 national science projects, ISS, the collider and nominally the human genome project, especially with what was a more fiscally conservative Congress that only more so grew until after Bill Clinton won the presidency. One had to go. Along with other cuts from the end of the Cold War some mandatory spending fell through and certain projects weren’t going to be funded so she had to close them which doesn’t look good on the ballot sheet in voters minds. Increased jail space and released less incarcerated individuals. She was doomed by choosing with her morals and principles, lost some voters from party politics, others from poor timing of Cold War era funding of projects running out and having to decide to close or campaign a state budget for such a costly projects and others from proposed changes to how things were done. It wrung her she the death nell for the democrat expectations of seeing the governorship again due to polarizing state politics and voters Turing more Red(Republican)

Since I was born and since my eldest sibling were born between the early and late 90’s less Texan were inclined to vote, even less gave a damn about politics and its consequence due to what I see as a distrust in politicians and their resolve to actually do something, or some cases respect the voters and not change something that was good in turn for a political advantage or of more consequence closer involvement in local rather than state election in areas were those registered actually cared to vote regularly. Voters since the new millennium have voted with their principles and not for the party, which followed generational trends, older family gens and business oriented voted in early 2000s, while by 2006 led to the tragedy that was victory by 39% but still a win, but for a third candidate to pull 18% and the democrat 29%, the republicans were not taking it well. And by 2010 it fell more into the modern generation like millennials and gen x voting more into democrat in larger cities and metropolitan areas, and as some gen x flips into the other side of the aisle new gen z voters come in with more on an emphasis on individual votes by who they could stand for, which nominally meant more heavily democrat but some landed Republican, likewise in the senate seats, Texas is at risk of flipping blue and likewise in a couple years potentially purple in general elections

Looks like a lot of conformity in Texas. Neighbors must really pressure each other to vote a certain way. Curious what was going on in 1978 though. That was an equal divide.

Call it the beginning of death nell of the classical southern democrat, with jimmy carters win and subsequent term, along with a general trend in the wider us population in response to global oil, domestic job wages, stagnant economic growth and the general economic of the late 70s and early 80s, led to flip flop between parties starting with 74 election and final term of former Governor Briscoe(D) which had the term amended from a 2 year To a four year term his combined terms saw an economic boom in Texas and general economic development, he in turn lost the primary for democrat nomination as the party favored a new voice. And lost in the 78’ election to former Governor Clements(R)(also first Republican since reconstruction) who himself lost to former Governor White(D) over concerns of Clements poor economic performance and lack of support from minority groups in the vote, not to mention an oil drilling accident which Clement’s happened to have shares in company who nominally owned but did operate the rig, of which it was under lease to a Mexican company and his shares were in a blind trust but flat excuses of responsibility to some voters when you loose by 327,000 votes , While also having been previously appointed by Briscoe in the past , White attempted to lure in new industry to the state and improve on education.
