I am just wondering if there is anything that could get more large Texan cities to get more conservative voters? Or at this rate will we see an exodus of people in cities and the suburbs and exurbs will outgrow the major cities and become the new populated conservative centers?

. . . I'm just gonna go ahead and ask.

What's the point of this question? Is this a real concern or what?

Nah. Unfortunately, an educated populace always shoves the less educated out.

See, they end up making more money so they don’t have to commute to hell and gone.

They’re capable of seeing simple cost/time equations

They don’t feel the need to inflate their worth by buying the giant suburban box

They don’t fear a differing opinion

And just really don’t have time for you.

The only thing would be for more conservatives to move to major cities. As is, the cities (minus Fort Worth) are all solidly blue. The suburbs are also trending that way.

I find that immigration is a huge issue in the cities in Texas. Republicans have moved to a more conservative position on that issue with Trump. Also with Trump, the cities moved further left. The two are related to me.

If conservatives want to succeed, then they are better of placing stronger emphasis on free-market, and other Libertarian ideals. The religious ideals, as well as fear-driven policies (i.e. anti-immigration, anti-LGBT, etc ) are sinking ships that should be dropped on the spot.

That would screw up the extreme gerrymandering that the Republican Party has done in Texas, so this sounds like a great plan

Since it's just more of the same-o, same-o pointless arguing, why bother? You are right in being pleasantly surprised, I am too. It's nice seeing people not jump on the bandwagon for once.

Ban colleges and other education institutions. Lack of education = more conservatives
