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.

I don't doubt it. I was just thinking a few weeks ago about things I did as a kid and comparing with my nephew and some other kids I know. I was never some macho type either, I was the stereotypical sucky at sports computer nerd. Still, I was playing with hammers, nails, saws, knives, all kinds of stuff trying to build generally fruitless projects or whatever at least as young as 7 and often unsupervised.
If I hadn't had my dad or my grandfathers growing up, I have no idea what I would have turned out like but I have a feeling it's like a lot of these soy men. I'd never say my mother wouldn't have been well intentioned, but just that women aren't as well equipped to know when to let boys do boy things and when to let them solve their own problems and not swoop in and do it all for them.
