In reply to the discussion: Democrats say they now know exactly why Clinton lost [View all]IronLionZion
(45,433 posts)There has been a migration from the rust belt to the sun belt that has changed the electoral map. Dems picked up some red states in the south and west while Trumpster fire got the great lakes states the job creators have abandoned.
States that have been losing jobs of course saw the appeal of an orange racist lying and promising them lots of jobs and to blame immigrants and globalization/trade and of course Obama. Many of them understand that America was greater when certain Americans knew our place and didn't compete with the entitled people for good jobs we don't deserve.
States that have been gaining jobs and people have also gotten more diverse and got younger people who lean left and feel good about Obama's policies working out for us. We know that America has been getting greater through progress.
