There has been a lot of demographic change in the red areas as well. Last time, some areas went blue for the first time in a century, like DuPage County. My son lives there.

There are some flippable red areas as well, like my county.

My state will stay blue. Let the trumpers come here. We will fight them tooth and nail.
