Back in 2020 I said that Georgia and Texas are not Red States. The election is highlighting something that people are not accurately absorbing. This outline might help.
When we traditionally think about Red states or Blue states we think about Red being republican, conservative or nationalist, and we think of Blue as being democrat, progressive or socialist. However, that is not the accurate prism, and it never was.
What determines the political ideology of the state is the financial livelihood of the power centers, powerful people that control the political outcomes. The key words there are “financial livelihoods.” It is the money within the power center that determines the ideology.
The political ideology of Illinois, Minnesota and New York directly comes from how the power interests gain their affluence. What is the driving element of the money within the state that funds the powerful people, and how is that money made? Those are the questions that determine the politics – Red or Blue it matters not. The critical question is where does the wealth of the powerful come from?
When an outside influence starts to challenge the wealth of the powerful, it is the retention of that finance that determines the political outlook. Let me give you examples.
For the powerful interests in California, New York, Illinois and recently -more specifically and visibly- Minnesota, you will notice the power brokers money is made from corruption of government finance. Take away the access of powerful interests to federal government money, eliminate corruption and you are hitting directly at the center of power.
Enforce lawfulness, target corruption and take away the ability to gain wealth from theft of government money and the powerful political interests who control political power lose wealth. The entire system is based on wealthy people engaged in fraud and corruption to remain wealthy. That dynamic applies to California, Illinois, New York and Minnesota.
However, the same dynamic, albeit under a different auspice, applies to Texas.
Texas industry, and more specifically the billionaires who live in Texas, control the industry and control the political power centers, rely on illegal aliens to achieve their wealth status. Start addressing the illegal immigration issue and you start threatening the wealth that underpins the powerful people who control political outcomes.
Because Texas billionaires rely on the industry of illegal aliens, enforcing immigration laws is against their interests. Deporting illegal aliens becomes a threat to the Texas wealth system in the same way that stopping fraud is a threat to the wealth system in NY, IL, CA and MN.
