Are Republicans becoming desperate about this, too:
We all knew that many Boomers were retiring to Southern/Western states and that Millennials preferred sunnier metros like Atlanta, now it appears that rural America, too, is going to be invaded by Yankees who vote progressive.
Actually, it’s been a trend for some time in most metros. There has been a growing gentrification of rural communities near all metro areas. The newly rich and upper middle class have been building their country estates farther and further away from the City Centers since the 1980s tech boom.
Now suburbanites are following to stretch their dwindling incomes as underemployment and the gig economies make all American workers journeymen laborers. Local and state politics will never be the same for the Republicans kingpins who have been dominating these communities.
Demographics is going to get them in urban, suburban and rural areas. Former urban residents are going to mix with the poor local Black and Hispanic populations to topple the traditional feudal system in the South. There is more than one way to end slavery?
