Vast swaths of America are shrinking - Almost all of them voted Trump

[DrLove]

And here I thought everyone was leaving the cities for Green Acres?

Ninety percent of counties that lost population in the last decade backed the ex-president.​

Donald Trump and the Republican Party he shaped represent the fading face of the United States, winning over an older, more rural, and overwhelmingly caucasian bloc of voters that reflected the country’s past more than its more urban and diverse future.​

​

The latest data from the 2020 Census, which the government released on Thursday to kick off the congressional redistricting process, illustrate that fact in incredibly stark terms. It shows that the white population fell for the first time in history during the last decade, and that Americans continued to cluster in growing cities and suburbs, whether in Texas, Georgia, Virginia, or New York.​

​

Perhaps most strikingly, while metro areas grew, vast stretches of the country continued to bleed population. About 53 percent of all U.S. counties shrank between 2010 and 2020. You can see them in the sea of burnt orange on the graph below, rural regions and small towns that often have few residents to begin with. In total, they were home to about 50.5 million people in a nation of more than 331 million.​

The Census tells the truth. White folks will be a minority by the next one.

Fake Census

Yup, farmers, ranchers, rural shop keepers, and people with barely a high school education voted for Trump.

And it shows on this forum.

True - That 57% Caucasian number was a much bigger drop than anticipated.
But don't tell BrokeLoser - Might give him a sad!

Census shows US is diversifying, white population shrinking

The U.S. became more diverse and more urban over the past decade, and the non-Hispanic white population dropped for the first time on record.

And of course this is going to fuel and intensify conservatives’ racist white grievance politics and replacement theory rhetoric.

Fake Census

Census was mostly good news for Democrats. However, as long as Republican state legislatures are allowed to redraw districts, they will continue to rig the system.

We MUST past HR1 and the John Lewis bill. This process MUST be taken out of the hands of politicos. If that means a carveout on filibuster - So be it.

Fake Census

I don't imagine it's any more fake than any others that were taken. What chuckles forgot to mention was that as a result of population shifts, red states picked up some House Representatives while the bluest lost them. Add to that the statehouses that Republicans won in 2020 and our friend Mr. Gerrymander should give us the House almost by default.

Speaking of which... there were lots of "oddities" about that election. One odd occurrence was the first-ever loss of the Oval Office by a candidate whose coattails created a down-ticket wave across the country. That's never happened in our history. Makes sense that a winning candidate would drag even marginal down-ticket candidates over the finish line but to have that occur while the top of the ticket gets decimated, has never happened. Funny, that. Yeah... there were lots of "oddities" like that.

No matter what the census says, there is one thing that won't change: Further toxic partisan polarization and dysfunctional politics. Bet on that.

Too late – he and others on the racist right already know.

• Overall, we rate The Daily Wire Right Biased based on story selection and editorial positions that align with the conservative right. We also rate Questionable due to the promotion of propaganda, conspiracy theories, and numerous failed fact checks.

At least as a conservative you’re honest about the right’s contempt for our democratic institutions and desire to establish Republican minority rule contrary to the will of the people.

Indeed they did! Donald won the Goober vote same as he did in 2016.

A New York Times/Siena College survey, released today, shows that among white voters with at least a four-year college degree, Joe Biden holds a 55-34 point lead over Donald Trump in six battleground states, all of which Trump won narrowly in the 2016 presidential election. That’s an 11-point gain for Biden from an October, 2019 survey conducted by the Times and Siena.​

​

Nationally, a Times/Siena poll showed that Biden was leading Trump by 14 percentage points, 50%-36%, a margin similar to the double-digit leads enjoyed by Biden in several other recent polls. Among white voters with a college degree, Biden’s national margin was 57%-30%, and among those with graduate degrees, it was more than 3:1, 69%-20%.​
