A study was done after 2016 and it showed that people moving in from out of state were far more "right" than those who had been born and grown up in Texas. Florida suffers something similar, in which the far right are attracted to the state because of low/no income taxes and sales taxes. They don't care about schools or to a great degree about infrastructure that won't be built long after they are gone.
