If true we are on our way to total dictatorship by the evil communist liberal EFFIN PIGS dominance. We are so screwed. Texas is also heading towards this direction. I’ve been saying for quite sometime… Trump will NOT be reelected. The odds are to great against him. Be ready for another FJB term. But regardless of what happens to this country I will always have those wonderful memories of my childhood America.. my heart aches for my grandchildren who will never experience that patriotic nation !
How they vote in a presidential doesn’t relate to which way a state is turning - red or blue
down ballot is probablby a better indicator or better still,
wouldn’t raw number registrations be a better indicator

Scratchin my head what the Prof. is seeing ?
NV controlled by Clark count (Vegas) and Washoe (Reno) screw the rest of the state. Does SLC screw the rest of Utah? Sad. One county=one electoral vote is Mrs rktman’s plan. At least the demo commies would have to work harder.
All this is is Surrender Monkey bait. Don’t screech too loud gang the Americans out number the commies 4 to 1.
Obviously, Demonicrats are trying to destroy the Mormons. Too much morality to exist in their world.

This goes along with negates doing everything they can to lure tech companies and their liberal employees.
But don’t worry, Utah is offering health care for illegals so I’m sure that’s gonna work out just fine.
Urbanization is the after effect of the orc and goblin scouts conquering and establishing. The West is the classic example of this. The rugged areas keep people out. Once those places, are ‘safe’ the easy way of life enters the conversation. Easy life creates blue votes, and existence. Once all of America is ‘safe’, it will all be blue.
This is what happens when states allow the chamber of commerce and economic development authorities to steal taxpayer money and throw it at any and every liberal company to get them to move.
Charlotte and the research triangle are what put Cooper in the governors mansion.
Pretty soon Georgia will be the same.
We have a husband and wife who just moved to my blue state from Bozeman, Montana, and came to our Town Republican Committee meeting. They said Bozeman had become a liberal hell-hole with illegal aliens pitching tents on the streets and rampant crime.
I was shocked. I had no idea it was that bad. I had always thought about places like that as an Alamo.
I guess not.
I also thought how bad it must be there if they came to my state to get away from it. (found out it was mostly for a job opportunity)
Only because we’re allowing it.
First and foremost, stop voting for RINOs. Even if that’s all you have, stop voting for them. At this point it’s obvious there’s not many differences anymore.
“Urbanization has a much bigger impact on political trends than migration.
There are few things more pathetic in the U.S. today than urban voters.”
Yes !
And this explains Canada as well. It surprises people, but Canada has the most urbanized population in the the G7.
Which explains why the Trudeaus were ever able to get into power. And why the opposition “Conservatives” are so pathetic.
“Sounds like the gringos lost their grip on Utah”
THAT is precisely what happened.
There’s not going to be a red state left in this country.
That’s where the people live. It’s not about one county, it’s that is where the voters are. Who cares about the red county that generates a total of 800 votes but takes up the land of a quarter of the state.
Maricopa county, Arizona is half the population of the entire state. The more urban, the less conservatives win.
Half the voters of MN live in the Minneapolis metro area. This is why MN will likely vote for Biden - there are not enough rural voters to make up the difference for the Minneapolis voters.
The same is true for Georgia. Georgia was reliably conservative when the Atlanta metro area was smaller. There were three people at work who moved to Atlanta in less than a year...all were very liberal. Now the Atlanta metro area is half the vote of the state, which is why Rs struggle. However, it appears the Biden campaign has already conceded Georgia in 2024. The campaign has more or less pulled out for some reason.
Yup. Unrepresentative republic? 👍
“My home state of Arizona used to be as red as you could get.”
Mail in voting.
Propaganda for the 2024 steal is what the prof is doing
It is well known that 20% of the population carries the other 80%. In the old days most the 80% died from stupidity.
Us smart guys have done such a good job protecting the idiots, they are surviving at a good rate.
Unfortunately the idiots vote. We lose.
Best to go Galt and wait till they crash and burn.
I can’t think of a single Democrat I’ll miss.
