How could they have voted for it, if it's just happening right now? Also, the idea of a red or blue state is incorrect, since no state has all its civilians conforming to a single party. Sounds like convenient over-simplification to me.

@boolinjewlin2811 But all too often a lot of people assume "leaning" means "is." That's one of the two points I tried to make there. It's just not as cut and dry, as simplistic as people like the OP want to pretend it is.

@brucegruetzmacher5891 We weren't even talking about that. But if ya want some statistics: Less than half of those who participated this previous Nov chose red; far fewer than that in '20. When taking into account that one-third of the voting age public doesn't participate, red accounts for less than one-third, which means about one-sixth of the country in all. Hardly a "sea."

"nothing will change." Everything changes. That's the nature of life.

@jhova6542 "Never in human history" seems like too much of an absolute statement. They didn't even specify American gov't. So all gov'ts, for all people, and everyone in those gov'ts, never ever (even just one person, or one nation) was for the people? We're talking about 3,000 years just for Western civilization. I've read a lot of history, but just don't see how that can proven.

There are lots of Repub town halls going very badly.

@DStead2239 I'm not being obtuse. You're bringing up a red herring. My point was there are people living in so-called redStates who don't vote red. That's all. Yall want to focus on the vague def of what a redState is. That's not what I was talking about. So stop with the red herrings.

The basic reality here is he brought together a very disparate and desperate group of roughly 80 million people. A lot of them wouldn't vote otherwise, but are now since it's not really about policies and such boring stuff; some are wanting to bring down the gov't, themselves, personally; some are really poor, while others are mind boggling rich; some are in it just for the culture war; and some are traditional Repubs. These aren't just people with the usually slightly different backgrounds. They all want what their group alone wants. Getting them together was easy: Just appeal to each individually. But handling them is not going to be easy, given all the drastically different things they want. So "belief" isn't even issue. It's reality. And the Dumpster can't possibly handle it.

I wouldn't throw in the towel just yet. We don't know the future, and all kinds of things can happen.

@dinamosflams Like all kinds of things. Just try to imagine how many permutations there are, in a world of 8 billion people, each making choices every...oh...let's say 10 seconds. That calculation alone gives a minimum of 80 billion possibilities every 10 seconds. Don't assume to know the future.

@vallon918 You have a point, in that the term "welfare states" is incorrectly used there. It's actually defined as "a government system that takes responsibility for the economic and social well-being of its citizens." And that's not what they're talking about in the OP. They're referring to states who get more in federal aid than they give to the federal gov't. Those states are overwhelmingly run by Repubs though. So you're correct in that it's not the right term, but what they're saying about those states is factually accurate.
