Interesting:

The South is home to 10 of the 15 fastest-growing cities in the country, which have seen population increases at an average rate of 9.4 percent since 2010.

Who moves to those cities mostly? Well liberals looking for cheaper places to live in.

I would never step my foot in rural Georgia, but I could totally live in Atlanta.

Same for Austin, SA or Houston in Texas.

From 2010 to 2016, the black population in the region grew by 2 million, while the Hispanic population grew by 3 million, largely in Texas and Florida, according to William Frey, a demographer and author of “Diversity Explosion: How New Racial Demographics Are Remaking America.”

The real reason why Repubs are so racist in their immigration policies: they know it's an existential threat.

"55 percent of those in the South now support same-sex marriage — a remarkable shift in just a few years — and 69 percent support giving undocumented immigrants a chance to apply for legal status" - wow, I guess South isn't as backwards as one would think based on trump supporters speaking out!

Native ATLien here. The South in general is nowhere near as "backwards" as people think. ATL, Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, and Nashville are very highly-educated and high-income. Many of the best universities are in the South--UNC, Duke, GA Tech, Emory, UAB, Vanderbilt, Tulane, Rice.

You'd be surprised how many blacks and latinos are libertarian or conservative--especially in the South.

Obama and the huge majorities in the House and Senate was supposed to be the end of Conservatives.

Why is it assumed that just because you're black or Hispanic you're a Liberal? A lot of Hispanics in conservative states vote Republican.

How is it a last gasp? Granted I'm talking to a person with vulger views of an entire region so I'm not expecting much.

Trump is becoming a gift to the left. He embodies all of the Right's demons in one man, for the world to see. Blue wave coming in November and feel free to quote me on that when November comes.

Sure just like Hillary was a shoe-in to win the election, right?

i don't doubt that happens. It will be little more than what generally happens.

And more than a few Hispanics in liberal areas vote Republican. I happen to know quite a few of them.


Anyway, define "conservative". The evangelicals, perhaps, are dwindling. You'd be making quite a mistake if you think that all conservatives fall into that category. I'm a conservative - at least that's how I think of myself, yet I support same-sex marriage and think that while abortion is morally wrong, I'm all for a woman having the right to choose that option in her first trimester.


I think the number of conservatives who think a huge military-industrial complex is a good thing might be dwindling, too. Losing your sons, fathers, cousins and friends in pointless wars will wear on anyone.


Conservative probably doesn't mean what the OP seems to think it does.

You can mention Hillary all you want. Your president is Donald J Trump who is "shining" bigly. Welcome to 2018, not 2016.
