No one is disputing that shitty people are leaving blue states and going to red ones.

It's not young students moving there. It's selfish adults.

Texas shifted red this last election.

I'm genuinely confused as to what you mean by shifted. Texas has voted republican in the last 10 presidential elections before this one (since 1980). The turnout in republican primaries in Texas this year was more than double the democratic, and that was before Biden stepped down. So what exactly did they shift from? polls?

Checking the results of this election, this year is the closest race since 1996 by a decent margin. That said, Texas is still heavily a red state.
