Will Georgia Become a Red State Again?

[RINO Tom]

In general, I think people here are too quick to label a state red OR blue.  To me (and I would argue this is also the view of your Average Joe), a red/blue state is more like an Wyoming or Illinois - a state where one party is powerless enough that it fundamentally affects the daily lives of everyone and even causes the minority party to adapt its platform to the left/right.

I would not even consider Virginia a "blue state" simply because Republicans have a very, very remote chance of winning it in a Presidential election anytime soon ... same for Ohio on the GOP side.  If you lived in these states (even in the relatively Democratic or Republican areas), I do not think you would really feel like you live in a super partisan state.  In summation, I am in favor of a broad categorization of states as "purple," including its local politics.

In regard to Georgia, I would say it has not really been a "red state" since at least 2016, and it certainly is not a blue state.  I think it will be purple for quite a while.
