Where population grows, divisions among sections of a population grow. Much of the growth of Southern populations will occur among groups among whom Democrats are competitive, and it doesn't necessarily follow that a seat lost by California or New York to Texas or Florida will necessarily result in a seat flipping from blue to red.

To the extent Republicans succeed is turning new seats into red seats, they will have to adjust their membership and priorities at least somewhat to new types of voters.
