Like Willie Nelson, Charlie is extremely popular with liberal Texans. Of course, he does have his share of conservative fans too - but
I would not say it is the majority. I don't know how many times to say this - but the major urban centers in Texas; Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Houston all lean blue. Charlie's music has a retro appeal and is not so-called "new country" that is the big favorite
among right-wing country fans. Texas will eventually go blue (again), and the political landscape will be forever altered. And we're not going to ever forgive the crazed MAGA base that have soiled our state.
