Might. Minnesota is one of a couple of Midwestern states that are going red. On the other hand, other states like Texas, Georgia and South Carolina are getting more blue each cycle.

Because all the blue state people are moving to all the red states. And also the Southern US states have increasingly large portions of Mexican immigrants, who generally vote democrat as a block

Does "because" matter?

    Joe Rogan: 'I need to flee california's shitty lefist policies. I'll move to Texans.' Later: 'Texas needs to be more liberal.'

    Before my morning coffee I am not following you. Large, important states are turning blue. Small, unpopulated ones may be turning red.

    Commie mayor or governer allows terror groups to destroy city... Hmm, I so can't see why people would flip. :3

    "Commies?"Are you posting from 1966?

    Definitely have seen a resurgence in the term this year. Don't expect the pejorative to go away anytime soon, given where we are

    Well, you can call people you do not like "Cannibalistic Child-Molesting Lizard-People" if you like. Some people hereabouts do.

    But if you use silly words you cannot expect others to take you seriously.

    I think any pejorative shorthand for communists would have similar connotations and the same effect.

    There are no real Communists left. The Chinese Communist Party now includes millionaire industrialists. The Russian Communist Party is as powerhouse among the old and senile. There are not even any Maoists left in Peru, and I think we can all agree we miss those lethal goofs. The Indian Communist Party has been fractured in three for decades. Does the CPUS even have a post office box now that the Soviets are no longer paying the light bills?

    Some people say they are Communists. Some people say they were born on Mars. But there are no real Communist movements left. That train left the station decades ago.

    I used to be a fucking commie due to the brainwashing on Reddit. It doesn't have to do with where I live, but what I believe. The ideology is the problem.

    Marxist? Leninist? Stalinist? Maoist? Revisionist?

    [–]noice 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    Marxist

    Wow. How does it feel to be the last of your kind?

    I'm really hoping your meme'n and really don't think commies don't exist anymore. Otherwise, I invite you to attend those BLM/Antifa "peaceful protests". :3

    Western Communism began to die on 20 August 1968. After that is only survived because of Soviet money. People were paid to be Communists. The other half of the meetings were FBI informants. American Communism exists the same way as the Klu Klux Klan does. Some people get together say "OK, we are Klansmen."

    Internationally, you would be hard-pressed to find a Communist in the Chinese Communist Party. They are nationalists and personality cultists.

    What do you call people who don't believe anyone should have ownership of anything, believe free-speech should be restricted and clamped down upon, and believe people should be dictated on how they live, work and think?

    The Ruling Class, the Bosses, Nazis, The Powers That Be, autocrats in general. "Communism" is a thing. You ought to use that word to mean that thing.

    [–]m68k 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

    I don't know about that. It seems you and I have two different ideas on what communism is.

    [–]Nemacolin 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

    Well, words mean things. There is a Communist Manifesto that is fairly definitive. Once Communists had parties. (The political kind) Now they cannot fill a phone booth with real Communists.

    You are just using random words from your grandfather's generation.

    [–]m68k 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

    Words from your grandfather's generation still have relevance.

    Communism is still communism. Don't fall for anything other than that.

    :3

    [–]Nemacolin 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

    Yes. Communism is still Communism. A dead idea on the trash heap of history.

    These are the people who, for some reason, until now were afraid to admit they agree with Trump's distorted views

        You realise the ballot is anonymous, right?
