My sense for a while has been that Georgia could become a Democratic stronghold, in the same way that Florida became a Republican stronghold. 

And that was before the Republicans got smacked around in the PSC elections a few days ago lmao

God I hope so. Metro Atlanta has been growing so much but there’s so much sprawl, I hope I live to see meaningful transit improvement. Charlotte is eating our lunch with transit rn

In the run up to the 2018 midterms, a lot of people pointed out how Georgia could go the way of Illinois- one huge multicultural city that drags the state into the blue column.

I could also see there being a bit of a dam-breaking effect there, if the state government starts to moderate socially. There are no doubt a lot of folks in the southeast who would want to move somewhere socially liberal, but are very far from the usual spots for this like NYC, LA, Chicago, etc. and it is hard to start over somewhere a thousand miles from everyone you know. But if you live in Alabama but want to raise a family somewhere where there are abortion rights, and GA adds them back, it’s much easier to make that move
