Going back to even Obama's 2nd term, I remember hearing a lot of talk of these 2 states going purple (Florida went blue that election) and that Texas was likely going to go blue if things continued the way they were progressing in 2016. I think most would agree the GOP are much better at messaging, convincing people on narratives they put out there and just strategy (no matter how evil) in general, and I think we saw that in these states that despite the momentum the Democrats had and the growing minority and Hispanic population, the campaign by the Republicans to have these people believe in the socialist/communist label they've put on the Democrats has steered many of these voters to the GOP. It feels like both states have swung back over to the red.
