I did previously make a thread on this topic, however I did not put too many facts into it and the thread ended up backfiring on me, with people calling me racist. On my small free time yesterday, I looked at Alaska's presidential voting history and found something surprising.
Presidential election results[9]
Since 2000, the number of voters that voted for Republicans have been stagnant and barely changing, while the number of voters who voted for Democrats have been steadily increasing. In factct, since 2004 the percentage margin of victory the Republicans win by in Alaska has been decreasing. In 2004 George Bush won by a margin against Democrats by a margin of 35.5% approximately, but in 2020 Donald Trump won against Joe Biden in Alaska by on a magin of 10.1%.
Furthermore, in 2020 Joe Biden became the first Democrat nominee to win the city of Anchorage and the suburbs of Fairbanks since the 1964 election when Linden B. Johnson ran for president.
