I’m not sure how the midterms will turn out.
Historically, it’s not been good for the party in power, so we have that to contend with. Democrats are going to do what they can to sow chaos until then. So it’s definitely going to be an all-hands-on-deck, get your grandma, your neighbor, and everyone you know out to vote. Otherwise, we’re going to have two years of nothing getting done beyond Democrats trying to impeach President Donald Trump, going after ICE agents, and who knows what other retributive actions.
But there’s a reason that the Democrats are losing their minds now, particularly over Trump dealing with illegal immigration — that’s the coming 2030 census that is projected to increase the House seats in solid red states like Texas and Florida, while losing numbers in blue states like California and New York.

But it looks like even CNN is now getting that the Democrats have a big problem. Their data guru, Harry Enten, is full of enthusiasm as he details the trouble they are in. He says it should set off “flashing red sirens” for Democrats and “big smiles” for Republicans. There’s a “red state boom” and a “blue state depression” ongoing.
🚨NEW: Enten *SOUNDS ALARM* over Dems’ long-term political odds🚨
“The biggest population growth this decade: All 5 of the states are states that Trump won! … But it’s not just a red state boom. We’re looking at what I would dare call a blue state depression.” @DailyCaller pic.twitter.com/XidlrPHb97

By Enten’s estimate, that population change, of people fleeing the blue states for the red states, is going to lead to a pickup of seven seats for the red states that Trump won, versus that loss for the blue states Harris won. The blue states’ failed policies are coming back to bite them big time as people flee them.
Enten also notes how this would affect the Electoral College. Previously, if Harris was able to get the usual blue states and also pick up the “blue wall” states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, then she’d have the 270 votes needed to win. But under the projected 2030 rubric, if the numbers being projected hold, that would only work out to 263, not enough.
So it would make the Democrats winning the presidency “that much more difficult,” Enten explained. When even CNN is getting it, you know that the Democrats have to be worried. That may explain why they are freaking out over ICE operations, although they are also being done in red states. They know they’re losing numbers, and they know it’s going to hurt.
Now, some of those moving might bring their “blueness” with them. But if they’re fleeing the blue states as I did for Texas, at least in part because of their bad policies, folks like me are adding to the red.
Imagine if you added to that Voter ID and only had citizens voting. Democrats might never win again.
But we need to make it happen, ensure a fair count, and get it done.
These shifts are a direct result of bad governance in blue states and cities. Right/leaners and normies aren’t melting down and forming militia style mobs to harass and stalk leftist leaders. They’re just leaving. (And having more kids btw). https://t.co/3ek0B3PVxI
