A quick take on tonight’s results could be that our divisions are getting deeper.
The red rural states are getting even redder. The rural state Democratic Senator may well be following the Southern white Democratic Congressman on the path to extinction.
Conversely, the country’s suburbs, long the bedrock of the Republican Party continue their drift to the Democrats.
The problem with the demise of the suburban Republicans (from outside the South at least) is that they were relatively moderate and might be willing to compromise to get things done. The same thing could be said about the now extinct white Democratic congressmen. Those two groups basically formed the middle, and they’re disappearing, leaving the two sides ever further apart.
Agreed.
And what's left is more extremes to the left and/or right.......
Abrams will cut it to 51-49 probably but that thing is over
Concur. Georgia will be a state divided in future years I think. With more transplants all the time in Atlanta, it will further divide rural and urban interests.

I remember about a decade ago when Indiana and Missouri were considered swing states... they are solidly republican now. I suspect we may see other midwestern states go the same way in the future, especially as democrats ramp up the anti white male rhetoric. I couldn’t help but laugh when Van Jones said on CNN that the Democratic Party is getting “browner and cooler”.

Midwest states are a mixed bag. Kansas is getting bluer, for starters.
