The state of California made a remarkable turn to the left last year. And while many of us marveled how that turn didn't become evident until after the harvested votes were counted, it happened. And it appears to have been legal.
The state of Texas made a big move toward the left also, and there were no votes harvested, at least as far as the news consuming public is aware. The Democrat wins were due to a variety of factors, but they made some dramatic moves in their goal of turning Texas blue. So both Texas and California are moving farther to the left.
Anyway, what brings this topic to our attention was the remark by Houston chief of police Art Acevedo in Texas Monthly. Link. Here's the quote:
Acevedo on whether he’d consider a run at elected office: “I have not considered public office. I don’t think I’m electable. I’m too far to the left for the right. I’m too far to the right for the left. California [where Acevedo grew up] is to the left what Texas is to the right. Both are too extreme for most of us right now. But I know this: California ain’t going to go anywhere toward the center in my lifetime. But Texas is going to make a turn toward the middle. It’s going to find a sweet spot. And as great as it is to live here now, it’s going to be not only the best place to live in this country, it’s going to be the best place on earth.”
Well, he could always move back to Austin.
Most of us outside the major metropolitan Democrat areas would like to just be left alone and don't see any place where Democrat control has made or would make some location "the best place on earth."
