I live in Texas but I’m seeing these Georgia results and I’m honestly shocked at how far left the south has shifted. I live in Texas which is red for now but I feel it will flip. I do think think a good portion of this has to do with people moving to red states. I’ll never understand people who move from blue states, complain about high taxes, and then vote for the same policies. Doesn’t help either that public schools are propaganda factories.

The sad truth is that the Tea Party was co-opted by special interests that neutered the original message of the Tea Party. Rather than tax cuts coming from the strict management of government spending, the Tea Party’s elected politicians merely pushed for tax cuts (particularly for the wealthy) while ignoring uncontrolled spending completely.
Yep globalist Koch Brothers bought off most of the Tea Party candidates and turned them into Chamber of Commerce shills.
The Tea Party was only good in the sense that the movement provided a springboard for Trump's MAGA/America First.
If my memory serves me correctly, the exact same thing happened to OWS. The core message was corruption, lobbyists and undue influence of global corporations upon the American political discourse. Fast forward a few months and the progressive stack rears its ugly head. We've seen what has happened in the almost decade since.
OWS was subverted by George Soros' money.
He injected identity politics to erode the original message and cause progressive stack infighting and collapse the movement.
Koch Brothers derailed the Tea Party.
The subversive globalist elites always destroy the grassroots movements so it doesn't hamper their interests.
Yes, that's what happened to a lot of old-school activist/environmental groups, too, round about 1988 or so. They got subverted by dirty money for to shut up about overpopulation, right at the time when free trade and open borders started getting pushed. I watched with my own eyes as one org threw wildlife under the bus for good in the name of the obsolete culture of brown people (while still castigating whites for doing the exact same thing.)
I never knew the name of the culprit, but I think I do now.
What was it that Patrick Moore said about Greenpeace, that he left just before they implemented a 401k plan...
