the the left is just prepping us to accept more vote fraud....most people do not want this mass illegal alien invasion, they don’t want men playing on girls teams, they don’t want more taxes, they don’t want war....that’s conservative....

There are few things more pathetic in the U.S. today than urban DEMOCRAT voters.

There! Fixed it!

Sure.
Look at a population IQ curve.
average is 100. Overlay that with
number of people’s median IQ curve.
it will show 80/20 percent.
by the actual numerical people count.
you don’t need a 130 IQ to build a house or
dig a sewer system, but it helps if you
have to design them and explain how to do it.

No, not at all. The urban areas are where people live, so they have more votes because more people live there. It’s simple math.

People point out how much land area is red in this country, but few people live in much of those red areas.

In Virginia, vast stretches of the state are red, but Highland county which votes 75% republican generates a total of 800 votes. Fairfax County with a population of 1.1 million generates 1 out of every 8 votes in the state with over 400,000 votes. Northern Virginia as a whole generates one out of three votes in the entire state and it votes 70 to 80 percent blue. There are not enough votes in Highland County and many other red ones in Virginia to overcome the voters of Northern Virginia...the math is just not there.

The district I live in is D +50.

“I was shocked. I had no idea it was that bad.”

My wife took me from North Idaho to the Spokane airport this morning. You should see the nonstop graffiti on Interstate 90. It looks like Los Angeles now. The rise of gang graffiti coincides with the erasure of the southern border and the hordes streaming across unimpeded.

The in-your-face social breakdown of graffiti always precedes all the other social breakdowns.

So far, Idaho has not been heavily infected, but I see the crap moving eastward from Spokane. It won’t be long.

Mormons look the other way on illegal immigration and their realtors bend over backward to get Californians to move there because they care more about making money than keeping their state conservative.

I get your point. But isn`t that what democracy about? You ask the people and do what the majority votes for. Sucks for the minority but what can can you do other than try to convince people to voter for what you think is right?

Yep. I know a Californian who bailed and bought a house in Utah. Part of the leftist tech sector migrating there.

I repeatedly hammer that reality endlessly here because it is staristically and historically factual no matter how ugly it seems to most people.

Between uncontrolled 3rd world invasion, internal migration, and collapsing birth rates, soon there will be no red states anymore.

Republicans have turned 1 state reliably red, Iowa. Meanwhile Democrats have flipped Virginia, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, and maybe Georgia, with Texas and North Carolina teetering.

The country is finished.

Another example of how much of a fraudulent lie the idea of civic nationalism is no matter how much cuck RINO’s like Hugh Hewitt scream that it is not.

>> The Californication of the Red states continues...

Having grown up in Colorado, years ago I formed a simple theory, and my theory has held up well so far.

If your state has good snow skiing, you are doomed to californication.

I’m sorry to say that so far my theory has held up well in the social laboratory. Idaho and Utah are holdouts, but they’re crumbling... even Wyoming managed to produce a Liz Cheney, whose base of support is Jackson Hole.

Thank GOD that Texas has no snow except in the flatlands! :-)

I would be fine with a one-county, one-vote setup in a state’s Senate, which was basically the case in some states before Reynolds v. Sims, and an electoral college-style vote for governor, using weighted votes county-by-county, similar to the state-by-state basis for the Presidential E.C.

Utah is attracting a lot of technology startups. This influx of workers is changing the demographics of the state.

Sounds like the gringos lost their grip on Utah.

More likely due to the influx of refugees from California and other such places to Utah. Salt Lake city is a sprawling hellhole now, most likely due to the influence of the huge Airbase there and all the people from other states who get assigned there and decide to stay when they PCS.

White women and a few of their children.

Scott Adams is correct. The Democrats are controlled by white liberal women.
