If Texas flips voters in other states might start thinking, "What do they know I don't?" or, "If Democrats are OK even in Texas, they must be OK here as well.*"

I'd guess it's like being at the thrift store, not being interested in anything until you see someone get excited about a find. Then you start looking more closely because you want to share in that joy. Kinda like how we all wish Mamdani was our mayor.
