Getting harder to get to 270
By Silvio Canto, Jr.

All this talk about redrawing congressional districts overlooks the big picture. In other words, the census will end up doing in 2030 what some GOP state legislatures are trying to do before 2026. This is from Tom Rogers:

    Much has been written about the various attempts to create more Republican House districts through extreme gerrymandering. This column recently discussed a pending Supreme Court case that could strike down the Voting Rights Act’s remedy of creating majority-minority districts and result in the creation of even more Republican House seats.

    However, none of these actions affect presidential elections, which are decided in the Electoral College. Electoral College votes reflect the total number of House seats a state has, as determined by the census, conducted every ten years. The next census, which will take place in 2030, will award some states more House seats and take away House seats from others, based on the gains and losses of the population of each state.

    So the 2028 presidential election will not be affected by any new census count, but the 2032 presidential election will. Based on a close look at population trends, the upcoming census will not bring good news for the Democrats.

Not bring good news indeed. Getting to 218 in the U.S. House or 270 in The Electoral College is going to be hard for Democrats.

It's the numbers, stupid. Or more specifically, the numbers of moving vans leaving blue zones and going to red states.

The usual suspects will lose congressional seats the next time around. They are California, New York, and Illinois. The same will be gaining seats, such as Texas, Florida, and South Carolina. What's the result of these losses and gains? The losses are blue and the gains are red.

It's the Dems' doing.

They decided to eschew ethnic working-class non-college-educated heterosexual white males of Western European descent for trannies, illegals, Hamas, and college-educated Marxists.

Like seagulls, they crap on anyone who has any kind of religious faith.

They are the party of George Soros.

The Democommies are going full blown communist.  They are no longer hiding that fact.  Mamdani will win as NYC Mayor.  He claims he is not a communist, but that is exactly what he is.  You have Bernie Sanders running the financials for the Dems in the Senate, you have AOC and her band of kooks running the agenda in the House.  Nancy Pelosi has in fact been left mumbling to herself. 

Over night, the communists are in charge.  And despite the Republicans having majorities in both houses of Congress, it is the liberal wingnut communists that rule the day.  I consider AOC one of the most dangerous people in the USA.  She is in government, and people listen to her lunacy.  She is the author of the whole green agenda, which we are still living with.  Uggghh!
