Oh and then you have Covid wiping out whites at an alarming rate because of self inflicted policy and leadership and it's going to look even more bleak in the next year or two.

...

My understanding is that COVID is killing minorities more than whites in the U.S. If that is the case, I'm not sure that COVID is going to have much impact on the racial demographics on the U.S (unless the mortality rate jumps way up in a future variant).

The Chinese fentanyl supply chain was purpose-built to kill whites in America. Prove me wrong.
I watched the John Oliver recently on Purdue and the Sacklers. Everyone should watch that.
After @UNCjigga's post, I was going to suggest that the Sackler's partnered with the CCP :p
If you listened to conservatives from 2010-2020, NYC was a dying city, everybody fleeing.
Yeah we have heard that on these forums from one of our #bothsides guys. People were leaving NY in droves.
And supposedly the entire state of California is moving as well because it's such a "liberal-taxed shithole". :rolleyes:

Hey I almost messed around with a second cousin without knowing she was a second cousin.
Met her at a party, went out briefly with her on a Friday night things seemed to be going well then Saturday arrived and saw her at my Cousins wedding. She asked brides family or grooms family?
Bride...
Me too...
Guess that Sunday meetup is off...
Yep...
We still had a good innocent time that night. We had a common great grandparent. Still too creepy for me.

I once was flirting with a girl in a club.. and later asked her number and name. That's when we found out we had the same last name but were not related.. way too creepy for me.

And yeah never hooked up there.

This part interested me as well..

Blue is population increase and beige is population decrease.

Is it just me or people want to move to cities rather than flee to suburbs/ rural america?

No, it's not just you. There's an article up on CNN about the census which says that it shows a pattern of accelerating urbanization and rural flight.

This BTW is a bigger problem for the GOP than white/non-white balance in the population. Because people who move to cities, even if previously conservative, tend to shift leftward as they live there, and, if they have kids there, the kids are very likely to be left leaning.

You're not supposed to give away the plan.

How is that a problem for the GOP? If anything it helps them cement their advantage in the Senate and perpetuate minority rule at the state level.

You mean, if a bunch of people in, say, rural Texas, move to Dallas, or Austin or Houston and start voting democrat, that doesn't help the dems?

You're probably thinking about movement within a blue state, or from a red state to a blue state. You're right it wouldn't help us much then. In the short term.

But in the long term, more people being liberal is better. People tend to migrate. The same rural conservative who moved to say, Chicago for a job, became liberal, could find himself living in a purple state some day.

Did you miss the thread about how the district encompassing Houston looks like a sad blue aborted fetus in a sea of red? Cracking and packing baby.

We're going to have to do something about that, structurally. Right now we don't have the votes to end the filibuster and pass legislation to end gerrymandering, or at least minimize the corruption in it. If that has not happened before these demographic changes become electorally significant, we're screwed.

In any event, Houston's aborted fetus not withstanding, it would still help us in Senate elections and POTUS elections in the state. In TX in particular, it already has.

Republicans in the various states will still find a way to draw lines that increase their share of representation.
That's why we need the voting reforms ASAP. Gerrymandering is one of the issues covered.

I was about to say that.
Republicans will need to:
Double down on gerrymandering.
Find new and better ways to cheat.
Lying works. The Trump lying worked. So, double down on the lying.
More laws to Suppress the vote. The non-white vote.

And.... if all else fails just have the guy that lost, the republican that lost simply proclaim that he won. And after that, send hundreds of supporters to storm the capitol.
Republicans seldom win without cheating so, just double down on the cheating.
And republicans did expect this result so that was why Trump tried all he could to toss a wrench into the process. Republicans seen this coming long long time ago and the very next day began writing their voter suppression laws. The very next day mind you.....
