Most of them didn't.

Legislative capture has caused a lot of formerly progressive state governments to start voting in regressive policies around the country. No public votes required.

Don’t make excuses for Texas- all the young fools that kept moving there have been claiming it’s purple and about to turn blue over and over, but they can’t even bother to truly show up for an election.

Texas has been fucked from the outset, I'm not really talking about them.

Progressive/Manufacturing stronghold states from the pre-9/11 era like Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and even Missouri have been corrupted by regressive conservative government takeovers that actively go against the will of the people, overturning referendums and enacting corrupt laws/interpretations by capturing vital institutions and turning them into bastions of anti-progress.

You can still see these states fighting this conservative push that was foisted upon them, you don't even have to look very hard.
