[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Montgomery County taking a rightward turn, or is it just the demographics of this forum?

MoCo elected Jamie Raskin, and Marc Elrich won the most votes out of the last three Council races, and Anthony Brown won MoCo pretty handily in 2014, and Trump won less than 20% of the vote.

And yet from perusing this particular forum, I get a sense that people are more fiscally moderate/conservative while socially liberal. A lot of Hogan/Floreen voters it seems.

FWIW, I have no dog in this fight, I live in Chevy Chase DC. 
I just wonder out of curiosity if something in particular made this rightward turn, or if it is just this DCUM demographic. [/quote]

The left has been moving further and further left and, in this particular election, the right is pretty centrist.  That leaves a lot of people crossing over, particularly someone who is in a family with two adults working full-time who, collectively make a solid living, but hardly feel that they are "rich" and should be viewed as a never ending piggy bank.[/quote]
