Now that Republicans did so well in the elections, Oklahoma Republican legislators will likely double down next year on further fulfillment of the Project 2025 policies at the state level. That can mean abolishing no-fault divorce. There is nothing moderate to liberal Oklahomans can do about it other than try to petition for a vote on repealing such laws. Since Oklahoma is definitely more conservative than other red states, such as Missouri, that will be a tall order. Unlike Missouri, there just aren't enough moderates and liberals in Oklahoma to turn thumbs down to most extremist Republican policies. So, it's even questionable if a state referendum allowing abortion up to 12 weeks can be achieved.
I believe that Ryan Walters is accepted or approved by the majority of Oklahoma people. Only a loud minority is making it seem it isn't.
In 2025, there will be more far-right Christian attempts in Oklahoma to erase the separation between church and state for the purpose of getting it taken all the way to the U. S. Supreme Court in hopes for approval. Liberals who don't want to live with such conditions may decide to move to blue states that know how to govern to bring about a higher standard of living, such as in the northeast or the northwest, such as Washington. (But will give Oklahoma City credit for allowing progressive government policies through regular voter approval of the MAPS projects.)
I see Oklahoma staying red for the foreseeable future. The state when it's not Texas or others will be a big draw for conservatives moving in from blue states. Liberals and maybe even some moderates will avoid the state like the plague.
Oklahoma Republican leaders will step up their corruption, knowing that voters will let the Republican Party rule no matter what. If one of them just gets too exposed with crass corruption but won't resign, he or she can be replaced in the primary by another Republican. If you remain in Oklahoma as a moderate or liberal, you will have to turn your hopes to an America that will recycle wash, rinse and repeat. In other words, at least one side of Congress will turn Democrat in 2027, and a Democrat will return to the White House in 2029.
