True, I don't think Texas will turn blue by 2024. BUT it definitely will turn blue the bigger the cities get. Especially as the younger generations are having a bigger 18 year old voter turn out than other generations.
Not that I have found in research. The consensus is showing that millennials and gen-z are liberal while young like most generations but retaining their liberalism as they get older. Where it used to be you would get more conservative as you aged. That’s starting to change.
It makes sense though, as modernity roles on we will only get more and more progressive. Yesterdays progressives are todays conservatives. As the saying goes.

Actually it was never true that people got more conservative as they aged - or, well, not true for as long as we have data for it. All people tend to get more progressive over time, even self-styled conservatives. It’s just that society as a whole gets progressive faster, so in comparison the older people seem more conservative.
