Was it due to people moving in from other states?
Election fraud?
Or is it due to increasingly liberal public education in these states, churning out a never ending conga-line of young leftist voters each year for the past several decades?
Election fraud? YES.
That’s easy. Since the Fall, the world has slanted Left. Someday that will all be fixed.
I don’t think you’ll find definitive evidence one way or another, but you can look up statistics for specific states on things like states from which new home buyers reside, education level of new voters, graduation rates, voter registration information, etc. The data is out there, it’s up to the compiler to make the associations.
Hence the old yarn about “lies, damn lies, and statistics.”
I think there was definitely fraud, especially in places like GA, MI, NV, and WI. In WI, lots of college students voted who probably also voted elsewhere. But I don’t think demographic shifts can or should be discounted.
I’ve said for years that the single biggest factor is these changing political trends is URBANIZATION.
Free shit.
All of the above.
And don’t forget the general distracted/disinterested nature of young Americans. The only ones interested are those taking up a cause and going with feelings over reason, because they want to feel good about themselves.
Personal theory that the democrats encouraged immigration into Colorado (specifically Denver) for decades starting in the early 80s, finally revealing its significance in their plan in 2000 when Plouffe bragged very early in the election that if they captured Colorado, there was a 50% chance of winning the election.
Housing costs. People who feel comfortable raising families do so, and vote Republican. People who don’t support abortion as a birth-control failsafe (even if they insist that’s not why they support abortion) and vote Democrat.
Combination of all three and unbridled immigration and refugees, coupled with family reunification, birthright citizenship.
Take a look at Gwinnett County Georgia. Mass immigration for Northern liberals for the jobs. Immigration from Asia, Mexico, Central & South America for a generation or two have turned a once blood RED county into one with a radical left DA and sheriff. Same is going on in Cobb County, Ga.
“That’s easy. Since the Fall, the world has slanted Left. Someday that will all be fixed.”
Someday is likely to be pretty far off. But yes, leftism can’t last, it’s fatally flawed. But the correction is ALWAYS bloody.
It was downhill from there.
Ruthlessness.
The more colleges/universities, the more liberal.
The more immigrants, the more liberal.
Poverty and liberalism chase their tails together, so they’re a blur.
Hijacking threads causes it. Period. 😎
In California the drift to the left tracked the mass immigration that changed the state’s demographics. FAIR, the Center for Immigration Studies, VDare all wrote about this as the leaders of The Stupid Party, aka the ‘GOP’, cheered on the process that guaranteed its destruction.
I believe it is greatly impacted at a local level by:
Media slant
Public Schools
Social pressure to appear to be “woke” or tolerant, or inclusive, etc.
