to create a bluer Texas someday if you move there. At least your vote wouldn’t be wastefully redundant the way the vast majority of those clustered in blue areas are, and you’d hopefully be able to help make Texas a better place for your grandchildren.

By the way, and this makes global warming an especially scary auger, cultures in hot climates tend to develop more conservative than those in cooler, temperate climates. A political map of this country and of the globe will show that to be true. Other climates that make life very challenging, like very cold ones, also breed conservative cultures. These days, though, other forces like modern communications and medicine, ample food, and HVAC, are probably offsetting that. (Let’s hope, for the sake of humanity.)
