The parties are “trading bases” and the Rats are becoming the party of anti white racism and antisemitism. How long do they intend to hold those “white suburban college educated” voters? Not long I suspect.

All those liberal bureaucrats ruining America’s cities have to live somewhere. We don’t except them to live directly in the cities they f**k up each and every single day with their socialist policies!

Suburbs are bluer thanks to illegal immigration and the influx of Obama “refugees”. Plus, generations of socialized youth have come of age and freedom-loving seniors are dying off.

It may be a Captain Obvious statement, but demographics are destiny. It is not purely a distribution of ethnicity, but one of age, education, and income status that is balkanizing the country into political camps.

The burbs may be turning bluer because people like me are moving out of them and into the rural areas.

“”“white suburban college educated”””
There is way too much politics masquerading as education.

In my Dallas suburb, if you look at the students who are in the elementary schools, I would say at least 30-40% are Indian.

Too funny when you consider the Left abhors suburbs. They consider suburbs as wasteful sprawl that destroy nature directly and require carbon burning cars to get to them. Part of the reason housing is so expensive in liberal cities is because the Left shuts off building. America is still prosperous in spite of the Left.

Gay pundit in today’s media have obvious brain damage from their life style when they try to make a point.

Trump’s Republicans Beat Historical Average for Midterm Elections.

Breitbart ^ | November 7, 2018 | Joel B. Pollak
Posted on 11/7/2018, 6:51:33 AM by EdnaMode

Republicans were disappointed to lose the House of Representatives to Democrats on Tuesday. But they gained several seats in the Senate. Overall the GOP out-performed the historical average for the president’s party. As a recent analysis of historical trends in midterm elections noted: “Over the past 28 midterm elections since 1906, the president’s party lost about 30 House seats and 4 Senate seats on average.”

President Donald Trump’s Republican Party was projected to lose between 25 and 35 seats as of 1:00 a.m. EST on Wednesday — right around the historical average. Moreover, Trump and the GOP were projected to gain at least four seats in the Senate — defying history

Single soccer moms, urban women, Mexicans, Guatamalans, Hondurans, Salvadorans, trannies, homos. There communism and hatred for traditional American culture is hardwired into their DNA. And add in the fact that the local imbecile factories turn out of graduating class every May. They will not be coming around next election.

Time for every good American to plan for their safety over the next few years.
