Anyone who tells you that a Democrat can win Texas with just turnout without persuading a significant slice of people who voted for Greg Abbott, let alone Trump, is lying.
This is 100% true. Also, the GOP gets a sizable chunk of the Hispanic vote.
Every election year, you hear the same old song from Democrats: That Texas is not a red state, but just a low-turnout state and if Democrats just turn out enough voters, it will flip blue.
This is empirically not true. Democrats need to persuade Republicans

"village" mentality is what sustains conservatism. not being able to do anything without the Grandma Gestapo reporting your every move. depending on the easily withdrawn kindness of others instead of impersonal but reliable services. and of course obeying aristocratic landowners
Its gonna be hard to have a family in a single family house when you have to bring your prospective girlfriends to your parents' house instead of your own place.
Addison highlights these types of comments from American conservatives, and I’ve seen this all the time and always think it’s especially deranged. America has the lowest density, most “single-family” housing stock of basically any modern nation and it’s still not enough for these people!

One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.”
Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.
