Just to clarify, all of you do realize the prompt was "Realignment", not "Extrapolate the 2016 trends one election into the future?". This is an actual realignment.
What could cause this?
This is my guess at the future of Between Two Majorities. Democrats go populist left, and the gop shifts to a libertarian centrism.
Yes, this looks like religious left Dems with a social justice streak vs. libertarian GOP with a technocratic streak. I'm assuming FL, NY, GA, and TN are swing states? It also looks like climate change has become a top tier issue with the depopulation of the gulf coast and the extra EVs in the northwest states.
