Do you see any major shifts in the next decade?

lol so Atlas hasnt changed really over the past 12 years. The whole Trends= Destiny was huge even back then as well and lol the person with the wrongest predictions was BRTD.

It would be interesting to see what people think today and then come back in 2029 to see whether they were right, if you look at a lot of threads from 2009, they were pretty wrong bout how things would look in 2019.

I bet many of these predictions will be wrong because trying to extrapolate trends beyond 2 election cycles usually is futile because of how many things change in ways we cant even think about during that 8 year period which has a far larger impact on how politics will be rather than trends= destiny .

The most hilarious prediction here was that Georgia would become even more Republican by the end of this decade then it was in 2004

yeah, for people who spent a considerable amount of time debating politics, we can't predict jack.

And yet we LITERALLY talk about places that are trending a certain way as if they're already safe for that party, haha.

Yah if TrendsAreReal were around back then he would be talking about how anyone who doesnt believe GA would become even more safely Republican by the end of the 2010s and Michigan would become Safe D by the end of the 2010s are stuck in the past

Why did most people think Texas would not Trend even slightly Dem, I mean its pretty obvious Bush's margins in Texas was inflated due to him being from Texas so even if you take that inflated margin away then that would mean it would trend slightly D

Actually, GA began trending D in 2008.

It’s shocking how little time GA was actually a Republican state as downballot it was Democratic until 2002 and Presidential since 2000(it was a swing state in the 90s).
