Vast swaths of America are shrinking - Almost all of them voted Trump

And here I thought everyone was leaving the cities for Green Acres? :)

Ninety percent of counties that lost population in the last decade backed the ex-president.


Donald Trump and the Republican Party he shaped represent the fading face of the United States, winning over an older, more rural, and overwhelmingly caucasian bloc of voters that reflected the country’s past more than its more urban and diverse future.​
The latest data from the 2020 Census, which the government released on Thursday to kick off the congressional redistricting process, illustrate that fact in incredibly stark terms. It shows that the white population fell for the first time in history during the last decade, and that Americans continued to cluster in growing cities and suburbs, whether in Texas, Georgia, Virginia, or New York.​
Perhaps most strikingly, while metro areas grew, vast stretches of the country continued to bleed population. About 53 percent of all U.S. counties shrank between 2010 and 2020. You can see them in the sea of burnt orange on the graph below, rural regions and small towns that often have few residents to begin with. In total, they were home to about 50.5 million people in a nation of more than 331 million.​

Even if true do you think that will make em vote differently?
 
One odd occurrence was the first-ever loss of the Oval Office by a candidate whose coattails created a down-ticket wave across the country. That's never happened in our history. Makes sense that a winning candidate would drag even marginal down-ticket candidates over the finish line but to have that occur while the top of the ticket gets decimated, has never happened. Funny, that. Yeah... there were lots of "oddities" like that

Shows that voters hated Trump but still liked Republicans

Does this surprise anyone?
 
Indeed they did! Donald won the Goober vote same as he did in 2016.

A New York Times/Siena College survey, released today, shows that among white voters with at least a four-year college degree, Joe Biden holds a 55-34 point lead over Donald Trump in six battleground states, all of which Trump won narrowly in the 2016 presidential election. That’s an 11-point gain for Biden from an October, 2019 survey conducted by the Times and Siena.​
Nationally, a Times/Siena poll showed that Biden was leading Trump by 14 percentage points, 50%-36%, a margin similar to the double-digit leads enjoyed by Biden in several other recent polls. Among white voters with a college degree, Biden’s national margin was 57%-30%, and among those with graduate degrees, it was more than 3:1, 69%-20%.​

I hope you are doing well, Mr Love.
 
The Census tells the truth. White folks will be a minority by the next one.

Luckily then I am about half way through my life then, so I won't have to live to see when it really gets bad.

I mean everything is race, hatred, anger, fear, misinformation, forced this and demanding that, history of the country being deleted or changed, major racism disguised as anti racism, inflation, acceptable domestic terrorism of BLM and antifa, hating America is acceptable, and so on.

All of that starts happening around the same time as white people becoming less of the majority.

Sometimes things in life really aren't a coincidence.

Preach to the choir.

A good look at this is very telling. Job approval dropping from 55% down to 50% and falling
 
Another amazingly excellent source Gomer! :lol:

The Californians for Population Stabilization has been categorized as an Anti-Immigration Hate Group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. [4]
Have you asked why our northern border is closed to Canadians coming over to the US and wide open at the southern border? Does that make sense to you?

Trump could only have dreamed of 50.1 approval eh? :D
As far as those right track/ wrong track numbers, I'd have said wrong track also.
Because as long as minority RW assholes control our state legislatures, seek to take over the results of elections they don't like based on bigly lies, stop people they hate from voting and are allowed to jimmy rig districts ... we'll be on the wrong track.
