    Eh, they are becoming so extreme that they are leaving some of their voters behind. They were supposed to win the house in a landslide and they barely hung on. They are losing special elections because their candidates are too extreme. Even the Supreme Court can’t stomach some of their gerrymandering on race. I don’t buy this.

      This. The GOP has lost something like 12 out of their last 10 special elections. If demographics have their way, there is a decent chance the GOP won’t even be a national party by 2028.

    This is part of the GOP strategy.

    Senator Josh Hawley from Missouri has openly acknowledged that the GOP strategy is to make it so miserable for Democrats in red and purple states that they will move to blue states. That would, in turn, cement Republican power in the White House, Senate and thereby the Supreme Court.

    Then we get to watch 100% Red states shoot, disease, and work themselves to death. Then we move back in and get their stuff.

    ???

    profit!

    Yeah so many have been moving to Texas its ridiculous. We can’t even build infrastructure quick enough. We’re beyond full at this point.

    If I move it will be because my town was 110F in the shade Monday, not because my neighbors are morons.
