Depending on area, another factor to consider is capital investment, self sufficiency, and surplus production, such as food and energy production from Red areas to Red and Blue areas. While Liberals love to cry “Red State Socialism”, the fact is, Blue and Red states, counties, cities, and inner cities benefit from Red area low cost productivity, even if some large projects were initially subsidized by the US Government. Again, critical products such as food and electricity, are better overproduced than underproduced, making incentives for overproduction a valid Government response. Shall we now consider the effects of government subsidizing unproductive people having babies on the long term Leftist agenda, other than obvious vote production?
California is no longer even is a net giver to the Federal govt. It is becoming less productive by the month. It once had Republican governors and senators on its way up...now it's in decline. Almost every big city i know is being destroyed from the inside by Democrat policies.
You're saying it's becoming more like the average, receive-more-in-benefits-than-it-pays-in-taxes, welfare Red state. Do you really want to open this debate?
Biden is going to change all of that. 6 in 8 Americans will be from Mexico. Might need a couple months to get there, but we believe that this is something Joe can do.
I wonder about the fundamental assumption the Democrats are making that drives them to open borders. The assumption is that demographic engineering will bring a flood of shiny new Democrat voters. If you examine Mexico at the moment you see that Obrador is extremely left wing and Mexico is being run under leftist policies like protecting the cartels from prosecution etc. Likely many of those fleeing Mexico (not countries south of Mexico) are not so leftist. Many mexicans who immigrate to the US work hard, buy homes, raise families and are somewhat conservative. I really hope this whole thing backfires spectacularly for the leftists running the USA.
Joe's honeymoon is over when the caravan arrives at the border. His spokesmodel there in the press conference keeps saying that there will not be the same problems as under Trump because they do not intend to detain anyone and will release them immediately into the community with pre-citizen status. Then rinse and repeat day after day as long as we are a country I guess. What could go wrong there? As I have underscored before, Obama had a favorability rating that was through the roof, yet he took a beating and gigantic loss in the midterms. And we can agree that Biden is no Obama, plus he starts with a majority in the house that is about the width of a pubic hair, so just a sneeze and it will vaporize. Obama had a much bigger lead and a much bigger persona but he could not fend it off.
With the exception of Cubans all other Hispanic groups overwhelming vote democrat.CA is overwhelming blue because of Hispanics and Trump only won Texas by 5 points while it was around 25 points during W Bushs term which wasn't that long ago. I dont think they vote and will continue to vote democrat for the same reason blacks do.They know most conservative whites are racists and don't want them here.
