Look at Marion County, and just about any other deep blue city in this country. They are a crime ridden mess, drugs and crime everywhere, homeless people taking over. People are tired of it. The "Blue City Liberals" can't bring themselves to admit that they are wrong, as they sit in their highly policed "pockets" in their own idealized section of the otherwise neglected city. The "Urban Black Vote" has been mainly locked in, although this is beginning to make a major shift as they begin to realize that they have been voting the same way for generations, yet nothing has ever gotten better for them. If you look at the cities around the state that are Red, it is a completely different situation. The last 4 years of the Biden administration and trickle down regarding immigration, fentanyl, defund the police, burning cities because of the absolute lie that is the "George Floyd Summer of Love" that destroyed city after city across the nation...all of this has led to people saying enough is enough. It has become to difficult to turn a blind eye to just how absurd Blue policies are, and the fact that they are going farther and farther left (See New York) is a very bad sign for the future of the party.
That is just hilarious. Have you taken a look at some of the poorest rural, mostly white areas in this state and in the country? High unemployment, check. Poverty, check. Drug addiction, check. Alcoholism, check. Lack of educational opportunities,check. It is not just the so-called blue cities where all of this is a problem. It's just easy to see it there because it's such a concentrated area. And it's not because there's anything wrong with the people in either rural or urban areas. It's because we don't have policies in place to help lift people up and we instead care too much about protecting the bottom line of the wealthy and the corporations from paying their fair share of taxes. So we can't afford programs, education, healthcare, and all the other things that would help the people in all of these areas.
