It is a fact I am well aware of. In fact, in the 2000 election, the county I live in, long a bastion of conservative Republicanism (the home of John Kasich and Dave Thomas, for goodness' sake), became a blue square in a sea of red, for the first time in recorded memory. Dramatic shift in demographics, you see. You almost have to speak Mexican if you go into a Wendy's. The county 'Pubs took it for granted, and it got away from them.
But I'm not worried about being kicked out by the mechistas or becoming an Aztlanian. There's nothing here the mechistas would consider worth fighting over. Cruzerman will be happy with CA, AZ, NM, and maybe parts of TX.
Sorry to hear about your ordeal in Ohio. Cheer up, it will only get worse...
