Let's start with the obvious: The question in your thread title and the question you asked in the poll are, quite literally, two ENTIRELY different questions...
Now, for my opinionated point, a region shifting its politics doesn't make it a part of a different region. Only on Atlas is this a reality. New England was New England when it was voting GOP. It's New England now. Virginia isn't "not Southern" because it's voting differently than the rest of the region anymore than Georgia was "not Southern" in 1980. Arkansas wasn't any less Southern than South Carolina in 1992 and 1996, etc. It's the same idiotic shlt you hear here about why some area in the middle of the Mountain West is "partially Southernized" or some BS because it votes Republican. You'd think on a forum full of political nerds, we wouldn't feel the need to group things that simplistically.
