Most states dont flip at that kind of pace though. Colorado could only flip so quick because it never had a ton of population outside of Denver, and Denver was a metro with a lot of room for easy growth (which other metros like NY, LA, Chicago or Miama dont have, to name just a few). It didnt take big numbers to completely change the political static of Colorado.

Virginia only flipped because of its adjacency to DC, a factor that will not flip any other state.


The changes in Texas have been going on for a long time, and are happening at a much slower pace. Virginia flipped from solid red in 2004 to solid blue in 2020. According to current polling averages, Texas is still 8% more republican leaning than the nation as a whole atm. It was R+11 back in 2016, so that's 3% of movement over one cycle - a cycle dominated by a historically unpopular GOP incumbent who happened to be a bad fit for Texas and will probably be gone soon. I seriously doubt that Texas will shift as much to the left over a cycle with a President Biden.

Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New Hampshire and Maine are all turning red.

Even if Texas turned Blue (which is dubious), it has 38 electoral votes.

The list of states I gave that are turning red = 82 electoral votes.

The GOP doesn't even need Texas.

it has not shifted fully blue nor will it anytime soon, you are a fool if you believe otherwise

glad to finally be turning my back on this state after 27 years, i will not come back to the bigotry and backwards ass belief system this state holds so dear

I think Virginia is probably still going to be a swing state moving forward.

"turning red" lol, no.

they're all deeply purple states. in the time since Trump narrowly won WI (under a 1% margin) we've elected a Democratic governor.

i'm not saying Biden will win WI, but to call WI red is absurd.

If Virginia goes red before 2032, I will chop off my dick. Hell, if it goes below Dems +5 during a presidential year, I will eat one pound of broccoli.

What's wrong with this? I do this like twice a week.

I hate vegetables.

careful, so many DC swamp creatures living there it could easily happen.



anything is edible with ranch dressing.

Sorry I meant RED. I gotta edit my post before I have to change my pronoun.

I actually don't mind broccoli. I can eat it charred with garlic. My LEAST favorite vegetable is probably a cucumber though. I like the flavor of cucumber drinks but the texture really bothers me.
