what's the "original sense" or right wing?

Vast majority of people in MD are not rich, but they vote left. So, I am not sure what you are trying to say here.


They're for maintaining the social order, explicitly around wealth and power.

I think you don't understand who the Democrats and what 'right-wing' means.

this is pretty much true across the country - the more urban/dense the area, the bluer it is.

Fairfax County, if it were its own state, would be bigger than I think 6 states. And LA County and Manhattan? Sheesh

People vote, not land.

It must be tough for Trump and his family when they go to NJ/NY and enter enemy territory on their way to their company HQ and Trump's NJ golf course. Same for when Trump goes to most of his golf courses in the US as most are in blue states.


Maybe it is or maybe it isn't...he's lacks any awareness to really know. But, he is making money off of all those Dems who are playing (see Trump National in Nova or Doral in Miami) so he may not mind too much.

Most hardcore liberals wouldn't be caught dead in his golf courses right now.

It's a wonder why Trump doesn't open golf courses and resorts in areas where his base live in the red states. Why doesn't he create jobs there?

What will be interesting is with technology now having proved to allow people to work from home (ie zoom, teams) and the subsequent migration to the ex-burbs that has begun, how will the map change? If at all?


It’s all of MoCo. And PG. And Baltimore, both city and county. And Howard. And Charles. And Anne Arundel. Even FREDERICK County went blue this year.

And without all those people Maryland would have one Congressional district.

It must be odd for those who insist upon seeing everything in dichotomies. It must be even odder to hate and/ or fear what you don’t understand.



I understand it for sure. But I can only be called a racist/nazi so many times for having a different pov on certain topics before hate/disgust enter into my thoughts. And hell...I'm socially librel too (pro-choice, anti-gun etc) Imagine how the hardcore R's feel...

Virginia got so much bluer from 2016 to 2020:

Is this the 2020 general election for POTUS? Wow, what happened? I keep hearing from Trumpstes that Trump is more popular now than 2016 so there's no way he could've lost.


This is different than the Maryland map in the link. This is not showing who won these counties in Virginia, but the change from 2016 to 2020. Biden did better than Clinton in a lot of counties, but he did not win them. They were still red.


These maps shows the counties won by Biden and Trump in VA & MD:

A good US example of this phenomenon: the number of people in North and South Dakota is equivalent to the number of people in Manhattan north of 84th Street and south of 84th Street.

Or my favorite: Los Angeles County has more people than 40 states.



And it will get even more dense now that water has become a commodity.
