Texas is going to turn blue very soon. Colorado, a once solidly red state became blue in a heartbeat. Also, Lots of libs moving from CA and NY into Texas. Booming minority population (which for some odd reason votes for Democrats- the party of the KKK, the party that was against efforts to repeal slavery, the party that endorsed racist Jim Crow laws) is another plus for libs. Republicans have got to stop with this dumb social conservatism. Terry McAullife a disgustingly and blatantly corrupt Dem was able to take conservative Virginia governorship because the Republicans had too hard social positions.
Sadly though, most americans (particularly of my generation) no longer really want/believe in American values. They want the top-down European nanny state, which has absolutely crumbled (read Greece). The only reason I think America will fare better than Europe is because America will always attract the best talent. This best talent, in addition to the increasingly slimming minority of people who already live and work in America, will be taxed heavily to please the mob. Amazing to me that so many people seriously think that Democrats care about the poor. Democrats are definetley the party of the '1%'.
