which will happen first in the deep south?

Perhaps the Republicans will simply become a northern party and we'll see the Dems take back the solid south as they scramble to literally save their land from disappearing, but over time this still leads to the Dems dominating nationally as refugees from Los Angeles and Las Vegas needing to move to places with water, and from Toledo needing water not contaminated with massive toxic algae blooms that have turned the waterfront into an abandoned biohazard zone. 

This assumes that no apocalyptic cults gain serious traction among devout baptists when the flooding begins, or that a plague shows up, or the USA is under a non-free government.

Or maybe global warming is slower than this and I'm being alarmist (it certainty sounds like it), but let's say things move faster than we think for purpose of this question.

I think that even if the streets are flooding in the deep south Republicans will still find a way to blame it on something other than climate change. An act of God, perhaps...
