The Californication of the Red states continues...
I knew things must be getting really screwed up to put Romney in office
Sounds like the gringos lost their grip on Utah.
Change and wash underware, maybe that will help. Ask Willard about that..............
What about North Carolina? It used to be like 10+ red. Now it’s barely 50%.
Migration destroys.
Demographics is destiny
With the influx of illegals and people fleeing to red states…are any states safe anymore? The places to flee seem to be getting less and less.
Now that the Rappers, Hip Hoppers and Twerkers have taken over C&W music and replaced it with Kindergarten Rock, you can scratch North Carolina.
At an Idaho radio station in August 2012, Willard mocked the interviewer and boasted that many Mormons were Democrat...
Well Willard has always been a liberal and backed Democrats for office...Rocky Anderson etc...
President Trump knew who Willard was... a traitor a back stabber...
A guy who was groomed by Big Daddy Romney to be king, president for life...
Thank goodness we didnt get a President Romney...
No its not that there are less Mormons...
Utahrado,
A lot of leftists moved to Utah during covid. Home prices shot up and homeless bums infiltrated Utah.
My home state of Arizona used to be as red as you could get. Today, not so much.
A cancer..
My tagline explains Mormonism…..
….. and liberalism.
Not sure about using 2020 numbers and then comparing that to post 911 era.
It’s more like Utah rejecting MAGA for GOPe. They will again give 80% for another Mormon GOP candidate.
EXACTLY! I was in Montana and Wyoming a year ago and was
shocked at the $hitty attitudes and Californication that
continues unabated in all the middle-western states.
