Fact: 11 of Texas's 254 counties contain Whole Foods Markets...

In 1992, these 11 counties cast 55% of TX's votes and gave Bill Clinton 48% of the two-party vote.

In 2016, they cast 59% and gave Hillary Clinton 54%. In 2018, they cast 61% and gave Beto O'Rourke 58%.

In case you're wondering, the 11 "Whole Foods counties" are:

Bexar
Collin
Dallas
Denton
El Paso
Fort Bend
Harris
Montgomery
Tarrant
Travis
Williamson
In case you're wondering why this is relevant...Republicans ended up losing all 12 of these congressional districts in 2018: https://twitter.com/Redistrict/status/1053334598824935425?s=20
Now let's look at TX's 243 *non-Whole Foods* counties. In 1992, they cast 45% of TX's votes and gave Bill Clinton 48%.

In 2016, they cast 41% and gave Hillary Clinton 32%. In 2018, they cast 39% and gave Beto O'Rourke 34%.

Eventually, TX's Whole Foods-ification will doom Rs.
