The left will probably win eventually, they've got literally every advantage, it's just a matter of time.

They are the masters of propaganda spin and always have been.

The great reset is a foot.

In 50 plus yrs we will probably be living under some form of feudalism, which is the real end game of the great reset.
...add in the liberal bias of a lot of teachers, and the young who reach voting age will almost inevitably vote Democrat.

Basically White Republicans have let themselves slide into extinction. About the only hope for any Republicans is ...seriously... all the illegals who might see all the gender-fluidity garbage and free-reign Black strret crime, and say "we didn't walk over the border for this..."

However you can't force people to move somewhere they chose not to move, even though the Federal government is trying to force that to happen.

I live in a mostly conservative county on the east coast of Florida between West Palm and Melbourne. I live in a neighborhood with hispanics, haitians, blacks, whites and a few LGBTQ couples. We have NO PROBLEM and out county mostly always votes republican.

You don’t hear about it because the news you receive doesn’t cover the discussion and disagreements.

Sheila Jackson, the democrat congresswoman, openly called for violence if the George Floyd verdict wasn’t guilty. Plenty of democrats were telling her to shut up but CNN and MSNBC didn’t report, to feign unity.

You’re not hearing about democrat discourse “by design”. Doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. Nice bubble if you can get it.

As a black conservative, I see zero hope for the GOP. DeSantis cannot save the GOP. This was the last hope. It’s back to the Obama years.
If they (conservatives) don't get the mail in voting issue fixed, you are right. Biden could run the economy completely into the ground by next election and most of his voters will faithfully push that D button again anyway.

I would object to that, too.

The pandemic changed everything. How?

It provided the opportunity for people to re-evaluate their lives and for many, it allowed them to work remotely. What this has caused and will have effects going forward is it encouraged people to make life changes. Many independent people and especially right leaning people who once lived in bluesish states and no longer wanted to live in that type of environment decided to up and move out of that state and head south.

What is this creating?

It is segregating people into blue states and red states like never before. And where this makes a difference is in Congressional and Statewide seats. There will simply not be enough right leaning or Republican voters left in formerly blue or blueish states to capture what would have been Republicans seats in more moderate areas. We will see more and more blueish states having only Democrat governors. Where it really makes a national difference will be in Congress, as it will be harder to grab House and Senate seats each state has, when there are fewer right leaning people left in the state to vote. They will all go blue.

So what this means is plan on the "norm" being a Democrat President, a Democrat House and a Democrat Senate. Now there will be rare years where something happens and people are willing to vote for change, but the reality is Democrats will vote for absolutely anyone in their party regardless of who is better. It simply doesn't not matter. They will vote blue period. Republicans are not quite that bad, see anti-Trumpers, but they are not all that far behind.

So get used to Democrat rule. What cat you do?

Move to the best place your YOU and YOUR family. If you are a Democrat, live in a deep blue state. If you are a Republican, live in a deep red state. Find the place place for you, where LOCAL and STATE government policies are the best match for you. State and local policies in reality have much more effect on your life than do Federal.

From that point, the only real hope for two party government is for Republicans to pick very moderate Republican or even left leaning Republicans in blueish state district races, so as to try to once in a while get control of the House or Senate. The Senate should be the one of focus, as they are the ones in control of who gets on the SCOTUS, which has massive implications for all. Democrats want to push activists who want to totally abandon the constitution and Republicans will push constitutionalists.

Other than that, make peace with it. Life will go on. If you live in a great state, like I do in Florida, and live in a great part of that state, like I do in central Florida, life will still be fantastic. It's okay. Neither side will ever see eye to eye with each other. Unity is long dead. Move on. Forget about trying. Separate yourself from the other side.

LIVE YOUR LIFE!
You would do well in bondage. Spartacus, you are not.

Obama was different? Good grief!

Now, if you want to talk about Confederate flags, I saw plenty of those, specifically in the exurban counties at the periphery of the Atlanta area. Hardly ever saw them in Atlanta proper, or in the wealthier suburbs.
Hmm. Thought that might be in the part of NJ labeled on a satirical map of the state as "pretty much Alabama", but no. It's in "Crumbling Industry".

she was white by the way. a little girl in my daughters school who was half Puerto Rican and half white told my daughter that when Trump was elected, he was going to deport her family. i could go on…the unhinged reactions and high emotions of our liberal friends was quite crazy.

more recently, my liberal sister had told me that if i or my daughters ever needed an abortion, she would open her home to me because i live in a red state
You have a wonderful sister.
I hope she opens her house to anyone who needs an abortion but lives in a red state.

"White" Republicans? Illegals need to be deported and they and their Hispanic-American ethnocentric voters will continue to vote Democrat for amnesty for them. They have a tribal mentality that trumps everything else.
