Georgia was considered a red bastion as well. Texas may be as red as it is due to voter suppression and the assist handed by the Robert’s Court messing with the voting rights act. The right person putting the work in? It’s possible that Texas may turn purple or outright blue.

“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”
