By 2032, a Democratic nominee for president won’t be able to win the Electoral College even after winning all three “Blue Wall” states due to reapportionment. Florida is already larger than New York. The South already has a population twice the size of the Northeast. More people now live in the South than in the Northeast and Midwest combined. COVID accelerated the exodus from Blue States.
Instead of “Civil War 2,” we ought to be imagining a Gilded Age 2, but set in the Sunbelt which is rapidly becoming the dominant region of the country. Tesla, SpaceX and now X are based in Texas. The demographics of the Northeast were irreversibly changed by Great Wave migration.
Note: I’m not celebrating this.
Interesting theory. So why not break off and leave shitlibia to their own perverted devices? Maybe if there were a way to split off the cities from the rural areas of states like CA, NY, IL, NJ, etc… so these sinkholes could just become what they desire: San Franshitsko writ large. Nobody bails them out – ever.
The South is also geographically the area that more and more central and South American migrants tend to concentrate in, for obvious reasons. I definitely think this is trending a greater backlash toward immigration in the South than anywhere else.
Hopefully, Trump will start cleaning illegals out of the South. Every governor here is eager to cooperate
