The Democrats have given up on trying to change Americans minds on capitalism trying to turn us into some socialist third world hell hole, it doesnt work because our middle class is too strong and there are too many business owners and property owners so they are now trying to replace americans with immigrants from third world hell holes who are more malleable to big government socialism.

Just because you didn't take classes in liberal arts stuff like philosophy and the history of basketweaving doesn't mean you are dumb.
Except I am talking about the suburbs/exurbs. I was talking about college graduates vs dropouts. Being in a skilled trade would more than likely mean you at least have a high school education. And I see plenty of skilled construction workers in Atlanta city.

I am specifically talking about high school dropouts, not the skilled tradesmen. Big difference. And by college graduates, that means anyone. Not just the liberal arts. I had no problem finding liberals among the Computer Science and IT majors.

The accusation was that high school dropouts are Democrats. Where I live, alot of high school dropouts are voting for Republicans. In my experience, I know alot of college graduates (the tech majors too) who vote Democrat in comparison to high school dropouts.

Most highschool dropouts become democrats and then blindly follow the party line, hardly overcoming ignorance.
Is that what talk radio told you to think today?

California, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania would each lose one. With California at risk of losing a House seat for the first time since it gained statehood in 1850.

Washington and Oregon, are on the verge of gaining a seat each. These 2 states have been getting there share of exodus from California.

Is there a trend forming(or already formed) that people are rejecting the total control, tax & spend policies of Blue States

Florida bypassed NY some years ago, but it has very little to do with politics, and more to do with climate and immigration.

Your tinfoil hat is on too that tight, try loosening it, let some oxygen circulate.

Nope. 94.3% of Latinos under the age of 18 were born in the United States. Another 1.2% are naturalized citizens. How exactly do you intend to get rid of them?

Here's the breakdown of 15-17 year olds in the U.S. by race and/or ethnicity. These will be the newest voters in 2020.

Non Hispanic White - 6,843,192 (54.0%)
Non Hispanic Black - 1,821,875 (14.4%)
Asian - 572,854 (4.5%)
Pacific Islander - 23,986 (0.2%)
Hispanic - 2,793,261 (22.0%)
Two or More Races - 616,757 (4.9%)
Total - 12,671,925

There's nothing you can do to stop demographic change other than trying to import more Europeans. And Europe has its own problems with an aging population.

I didn't say anything about how they would vote. I was responding to the comment about the country not changing because nobody foresaw Trump, Bannon and Sessions shutting down immigration. My point is that the country has already changed, and it will be even more different as Boomers and Silents continue to die off because minority births now outnumber White births and each subsequent generation gets less and less White through fertility alone. Immigration was already negative with Mexico when Obama left office anyway, so it's not like putting the clamps on immigration was going to be a game changer. And the overwhelming majority of younger Latinos (around 94%) were born in the United States, so you can't deport your way back to 1980 America. America is going to look different for good and folks are gonna have to deal with that.

1. The Sunbelt is gaining a few electoral votes from the MW or NE. (Probable short to md-term R gain.)

2, The groups that are primarily responsible for the increase in Sunbelt electoral votes are not Republican leaning groups.
(Probable growing D vote percentages in R states; meaning declining R margins in presidential elections as those states move from deep red towards purple, and a probable increase in D leaning minority congressional districts within those states.)

That's part of it. There are also a lot of younger professionals and families who are relocating to the South, but they tend to migrate to larger cities like Atlanta and Charlotte whereas retirees tend to move to coastal areas, smaller towns and retirement villages.

You mean ALL those that worked and made the good money in the blue states, then retired to the red states for climate and lower COL, since they don't have to worry about finding a job-which is a good thing in those states
