“Talk amongst the natives blames this on people who’ve moved in from southern states.”
Like you, I’m starting to believe that the media calls states “blue states” with the intent that they will never flip back. VA and CO are prime examples of this phenomena. They both “flipped” from red to blue in 2008 IIRC. The flip was basically all but permanent according to media talking heads.
I get that both of those states saw an increase in liberals from 2000-now. What I don’t get is why are they suddenly given automatically to the Ds when their polls close.

Agreed edh.
With all the knowledge we’ve gained WRT Dominion, Smartmatic, Precision etc, I surmise that every handy excuse has been used to fake the American public into buying “blue flips.”
In all honesty of all the people I’ve known in the past years who moved to Texas for work, weather, family or anything I can only think of a few feminist-type wimmin with leftist leanings. They didn’t fare well here either. But families and men were all of a conservative Judeo-Christian bent. And yet the media would have us all believe Texas teeters on “purple.” Voting machines may be pumping out blue but I don’t meet people that way.
