    I mean, being fair: GA going blue is weird as shit. COVID response, sure. But what the hell? It's the only Blue state in a sea of red in the south. What the hell caused people to turn out? (Besides Atlanta, I guess)

        Don't know when it'll happen, but Texas going blue is only a matter of time, as both the metro areas grow and the younger crowd starts leaning further left.

        Which is why they're thinking up new innovative ways to disenfranchise voters there, though, because the Republicans see it coming.

          Id agree with you if Democrats weren't so fucking incompetent

          See Beto's "hell yeah we're gonna take their guns" Hindenburg comment as a prime example.

            I mean, I'd like them to go the other type of red, but it's a real trend that's happening.

            There was even talk of it happening this election. That turned out to be premature.

            They'll probably go a more bluish shade of purple, FWIW.

      Abrams almost won there in 2018 and it's a state with an enormous black population, it's not that weird.
