The proliferation of cheap air conditioning systems facilitated that relocation, and it's not just 'producers' else you couldn't explain the dependent class in Houston, New Orleans, etc.

Some folks like summertime weather all year long but they don't like to suffer through the 130 degree hotspots.

BTW, my explanation for the migration ~ air conditioning ~ is the least complex.

this is the natural result of the Dims making deals with the GOP and failing to live up on them

Great point

Lying democRAT, marxist thugs! Don’t forget the state run media.

What Has Made Congress More Polarized? The 2000 Presidential election. The Dems bared their fangs when Gore lost despite receiving more votes than Bush, and they have been on a vindictive warpath ever since. If anyone tries to tell you the problem was caused by the GOP moving right, ask them what happened to the Blue Dog Democrats.

Now the ‘alignments’ we have are:

You got it

and

I want it

Way back in medieval times that was the same polarization but at the moment WE have the upperhand in picking the class of takers.

They'll always be there, and they'll always tell us that we never had it so good ~ so shut up!

It's still good to be the king even if it's just for 2 years at a time.

INDEED!!

Easy: the election of representatives that know their job is to ‘represent,’ not to meet the scum in the rotten middle.
