I just...don't understand where these Dems are coming from. Missouri should be matching Indiana, and it isn't. Where's the cause? Holcomb coattails or something?
I have to assume Greene County has held trends back and then jumped left all at once.
St. Louis and Kansas City suburbs are starting to catch up with the rest of the trends. Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and South Bend suburbs are too, but at a slower pace. Plus, the Fort Wayne area is VERY Evangelical and traditional Catholic. Many evangelical parachurches are headquartered there. Concordia Seminary Fort Wayne, probably the most traditionalist Lutheran seminary in the world, is also in Fort Wayne.
Fort Wayne has been doing what Houston and Indianapolis have done: incorporating rural areas as soon as developers start showing an interest in turning farmland into housing tracts. Fort Wayne devours suburbs before they can form. Thus Fort Wayne has a very suburban feel. Indianapolis is starting to have suburbs as Carmel, Zionsville, and Noblesville start to get spillover from across the Marion County line into Hamilton County. Fort Wayne is unlikely to have any significant suburbs until people start moving in large numbers across the Ohio state line.
