Well...a case could be made that some MSM outlets are encouraging young Dems to explore Red wastelands and save us from ourselves...one politician in Florida actually encouraged it...

Actually the same is true of SC.

This is mostly true.

The problem with the analysis of the OP is that he doesn't understand that Arizona draws big county lines. Texas draws small county lines. In Metro Dallas, the City of Dallas and a couple of inner ring suburbs form Dallas County. The majority of the Dallas suburbs are in Collin County, and Collin County is more conservative than Dallas County. If Dallas and Collin County were one county, it might look like Maricopa County is terms of Republican-Democrat voting.

The city of Phoenix is liberal, certain Phoenix suburbs are more conservative.

Arizona as a whole appear to be taking a leftward turn. The state just elected its first Democratic Party senator in 30 years, and it wouldn't be surprising if it elects its second Democratic Party senator in 2020. If a state has 2 Democratic Party senators, it isn't a conservative state.

Its really a shame whether its Phoenix or wherever USA, develops like this.
Conservative this Liberal that. That's about as welcoming as a wet mop. Makes me wonder why all these states and regions are all in the same country.

The problem with a state trending leftward, it's difficult if not impossible to drift to the right again. Hence the backlash.
