That is an answer that had it eluded me. I believe I finally read something that shed some light on that question.
Well it seems that California is sending us its’ uneducated whites. The ones described by Trump as the poorly educated. The ones that tend to vote for the orange man.
For the past quarter-century, California has been a net exporter of people. This has largely been a working class exodus, with families disproportionately represented. “One of the largest groups of workers leaving California” between 2007 and 2013, the Los Angeles Times reported in 2015, “was those who had more than a high school diploma but less than a bachelor’s degree.” As Michael Saltsman notes in the Orange County Register, “an analysis of Census Bureau data by the Sacramento Bee shows that, between 2005 and 2015, 800,000 working-class Californians on net left for other states. Twenty percent of this net working-class outflow—156,000—went to one state in particular: Texas.” Source
Now the question becomes how to overcome that and make Texas blue?
I beat the bot today
Most morning I play Wordle in the New York Times. One is playing against a bot and oneself. The bot never ceases to amaze me, when I win it seems that it is luck or at least more luck than the bot. Dang computer robots!
