The Democrats are using mail in and provisional ballots to steal races.
We need to stop that.

Good article. John B. Calhoun found the explanation for the red-blue divide (population density), but he never proposed a solution to it. Rural development is the only thing that can slow the demographic collapse.

“In First Things, Williams College political scientist Darel E. Paul points out that of the 66 richest Congressional districts in the country, the Democrats now control 56 of them... “

That’s because the best way to get rich in America today is to tap into the vast river of money and power controlled by government.

The rich have figured out how to harness the votes of the poor to wage financial war on the middle class. It’s genius really. Evil genius but genius none the less. The rich have everything but votes so they convince the poor to vote for their bought and paid for politicians (Obama for example) who then proceed to drain the middle class while filling the coffers of the rich. Get the middle class to pay for it all, crush them at the same time, and get richer in the process. The rich gain more money and power, the poor get their welfare, and the middle class gets sucked dry paying for it.

Republicans had better figure out an effective response—and right quick. After all, in the 2018 midterms, the GOP not only lost at least 38 seats in the House, but also lost the nationwide popular vote by almost eight points...

That's a meaningless number if the largest state, California, uses a "jungle" primary system and the two highest primary vote winners are on the November ballot. If it's not even possible to vote for a Republican, the numbers can't be conflated with other states that have two party choices.

(Also, the Democrats lost 63 House seats under Obama in 2010. I don't remember reading "Democrats had better figure out an effective response—and right quick.")

This writeup has some grains of truth mixed in with a lot of fiction resulting in an inaccurate portrait pf the social pond.

The five richest counties in the USA all are geo-adjacent to Washington DC. Of course, this population is almost wholly government connected. Those in government have livelihoods and retirement plans linked to a continued uninterrupted gravy train of government largesse meted out to them. They do not think of, they are oblivious to, the staggering federal debt and deficits that form the foundation of their affluence. As long as Treasury trades paper and digits with the money manufacturing ability of the Federal Reserve, their security is assured.

The DC government population is wholly owned by the large government corruption commandeered by the Democrat Party. They buy off, bribe, enrich Republicans they need for votes and power. Paul Ryan was penniless when he entered Congress, today he is worth more than 12 million. Pelosi was upper middle class when she arrived in Congress. Today she is worth more than 100 million.

The corruption is very deep.

In order to assure the continuation of political power and its attendant money streams of graft, the Democrat Party has resorted to promoting a new voting block of immigrants. This is clear when overlaying a map of illegals with democrat blue districts. The blue areas align near perfectly with known locations of illegals.
