The maps are already dated. I live in Nashville, and people are moving here from blue states by the busload every single day, which ramped up dramatically since Covid. I just sold my house in a very blue district for $100K over list in 36 hours.

The new people moving here won't change their voting or personal habits because where they were from was so terrible. They'll vote the same way, and seek to recreate familiar experiences in their new home with the idea that things will be better here because they'll be able to control the outcome because they think that the people here are nicer and dumber than they are.

I'm sorry, but Texas will need to be its own nation. We will accept nothing less! :)

> We have New Dixie, The Yankee Union, Communist Pacifica, and Cowboy Country, occasionally derogatorily referred to as “Greater Texas.”

Bitch, please. That's "Greater New Mexico", thank you very much. ;)

And I'm not sure it makes sense to stay at the state level when we're dividing things up. You end up with a lot of still extraordinarily unhappy people. Might make more sense at the county level.

Hate the word “triggered” but you’re correct, the ACC is always the unwanted stepchild. I think this is mostly accurate but Maryland and Virgina are wildcards, for sure. Florida, also a wild card as we have seen over the years with elections, as well.
