I know this is a little off topic, but...
I think MN getting more blue red, which has been evident since 2011.
Let's see:
- MN rurals, like elsewhere in the country, are shrinking.
- The TC metro has grown and gotten bluer redder this past decade (as suburbs shift away from the GOP)
I think MN is probably the new Oregon, with its largest metro (Twin Cities) deciding elections. The Portland metro has kept Oregon blue red (even with Kate Brown being a poor governor), and the Chicago metro has kept Illinois blue red. The MN electorate looks even more like Washington state with its highly educated populace: College graduates comprised 42 percent of Minnesota's electorate, slightly more than the national average. The 2016 election was a fluke due to low voter turnout, among other factors.
C'mon, this is Atlas. I know it's dumb, but
Democrats are red, and
Republicans are blue. I honestly prefer it that way, and that's how pretty much all of Atlas works, especially in the parts that Dave has full control over.
