[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very interesting

See: WI, NC, GA, FL, TX, VA, MI[/quote]

Inevitably these college towns are overwhelmingly blue.   Very interesting.

It is like in a sea of ignorance, racism and hate in the state, these  college towns are islands of knowledge, hope and sanity.   Maybe the crazy red general population is driving the sane  intelligent blue individuals of these states to these colleges as a place of refuge.

I would plus one this but it's not quite there. Yes, these college towns are overwhelmingly blue. ATX is super blue, eg. The second part of PP's statement is questionable. Most red states are not "seas of ignorance, racism and hate". I'm done with the DC liberal extremism - and yes, I'm a progressive voter myself. The vast majority of states in the US are pretty evenly split - just like the US overall. We're a 50/50 (Ok, 53/47) type country. Texas, for example, is not that far off  with 52/46 (5.8M for Trump, and 5.2M for Biden). that means that there's a huge number of progressives with a majority of TX big cities (Hou, SAT, ATX, DAL,etc) with progressive city gov'ts.

And GA? I mean, did no one watch the GA election results? Every PP on this board should know damn well how narrow the margins are in GA. This means that it is not a sea of anything put a pretty good mix of all types of voters, ideologies, and worldviews.

Knowing that we are nearly evenly split with a ton of blue and red voters in high population states like FL, VA, NC, GA, and TX, why do people like the PP speak in such ridiculous falsehoods?

The hyperbole is just too much. On both sides. [/quote]
