Will the county map have big blue areas (red in Leip's) again?

[buritobr]

In the past, the county maps of the close elections had red and blue areas.
Since 2000, the county maps have a huge majority of red area (blue in Leip's), with some blue area (red in Leip's) in New England, Lakes (2008), Colorado, Nevada, the coast of California, and some blue points (red in Leip's) in high population density areas.
Do you think that in the future, there will be na equilibrium of colors again?

No. The current trends are the ruralisation of the Republican Party, and the urbanisation of the Democrats.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

No. The current trends are the ruralisation of the Republican Party, and the urbanisation of the Democrats.

This, more's the pity.

If the Democrats were a broad church on 'social issues' (in the sense that the Northern Democrats of the sixties were, not in the sense of still having a Dixiecrat wing) and ranged from genuine mixed-market to ordoliberal/'capitalism with a conscience' on 'economic issues' then things might be different, but still probably not. Urban America and rural America just have too much ressentiment against each other. I blame industrial policy.
