A new "Solid South" ?

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

Given that the parties tend to ideolgocially shift every few decades dixie iwll probably not be solid GOP in 2020

Unless we somehow go multiparty we'll see in  the next century the usual range of ideological flipflops by the parties so yes we'll eventually see the dems completely lose dixie... but then they'll gian it again and lose it again, This is presuming that the south stays a united bloc culturally. Now if Virginia becomes more urganized and florida's immigrantsp ush it to the left..

The GOP is already moving into the populist niche so the dems won't suceed if theydo. The result would be either the GOP/dems falling and a new party that's anti-populist, anti-social justice, anti-poor emerging.

North Carolina, Virginia, and Florida Georgia to an extent(because of metro alabama) are all de-southernizing each decade so after 2012 kiss any ideas for a solid south goodbye.

Metro Atlanta?

Yes. IT comprises a good part of the state's population and the numbers of minorities/other traditional groups are moving there. Its not yet as mucho f an effect as Florida or Virginia or even north Caorlina but irs an effect.
