On a similar note, when Democrats take back the house, you will hear a lot of talk about bipartisanship from republicans and the media, something you don’t hear now.
Well only .007% of the registered voters voted for republicans in the primary. I know you want to dismiss this because of turnout, but that is a massive swing and those republicans are no guarantee to just show up on Election Day.
We are seeing it with Anzalone. They seem a little less likely to give out a third contract. They did with Montgomery and Decker. Linderbaum is different since it would be a second contract but I got a feeling they were planning on moving on from Ragnow after this contract.
This is just wild. Atlanta was always a democratic stronghold because it’s mostly black. Georgia didn’t go blue because the suburbs were Republican strongholds and anything but progressive. This is where Newt Gingrich and his Christian right came from. It was no different than the Dallas suburbs.
That was 8 years ago and before COVID. Since then, the Texas suburbs have expanded rapidly. It’s the type of growth that put Georgia in play. People forget Texas has the same racial makeup as California. The environment also seems to be more Dem friendly than 2018. 2018 was the first time in decades a Democrat seriously challenged for a statewide race.
