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 spoke at length with a young co-worker a few weeks ago. He confided in me that his family was awful - alcoholic unemployed parents, extended family in prison, shitty childhood, etc.
This dude is also massively leftist to the point where he supports UBI and most socialist policy. He's an otherwise intelligent and kind person, but his economic understanding is nonexistent.
I'm rambling, but the point is he supports far-left policy because he thinks the state can fill the void left by dysfunctional families. When I pointed out that these policies are paid for by successful families in the form of massive taxes, he had no response.
I don't believe most leftists are consciously trying to destroy families in order to create new left-wing voters, but I do think this is an unconsciously evolved strategy that generates a massively positive outcome for their movement.
