In your opinion, do you think your state is becoming more liberal or more conservative over time? Or, do you think it's staying status quo?

I'll kick it off. I think NC is becoming more liberal. I think that FL is status quo.

In FL, I think as more and more people from up north move in, and while natives continue to flee, it will become more liberal, unfortunately.

I feel like eveywhere is becoming more liberal. I don't necessarily agree with it, but that's just how the world works

In some respects Louisiana seems to be trending more Republican, which may or may not mean more conservative.

In Presidential elections Oklahoma has been trending Republican since 1992 and I believe in 2008 it surpassed Utah in its support for the GOP candidate.

In the early part of last decade Minnesota does seem to have been trending Republican, but this seems to be leveling off.

I would gather that Georgia, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Texas, and Virginia are trending more liberal.

The more (socially) liberal, the better. How could anyone really be against that?

Because it goes against their morals, opinons, and religous beliefs?

So, in other words, there's no real justification for being against it.

No because it goes against their morals, opinons, and religous beliefs and isn't better just because you say it is.
