Mismanagement is incorrect because it makes it sound like it wasn't intentional. Make no mistake, these are indeed the results they were looking for. Policies working as planned in Democratland.
@@gregphillips4900 It took me awhile to get there, but agree completely! The more choas they create, the better they can control the vote. We the People have become nothing more than a commodity to them. Our value is what we can do for them. Total basterdazation of our country.
Another point I’d like to add is that recent polls on America’s youth are finding more and more young boys and men trend to the right, while the opposite is occurring to young women and girls. This is occurring even in families where both parents are liberal. And, seeing as young men will be our future soldiers, workers, and builders, we could see the men vote overwhelmingly for Conservative candidates.
@@Classicsfrom2023 lol you think women are less likely to fall for propaganda despite you all agreeing with crap like men can menstruate and give birth, etc 💀 Women are more easily manipulated and are thus more likely to fall for propaganda. It has already been proven that higher testosterone makes a person less cooperative towards outside influence and more disagreeable. School and mainstream media indoctrinate with left wing agendas not right wing ones. You also probably think gender pay gap is real and that we should increase taxes to prevent the earth from apparently getting hot (even though the earth has been significantly cooler as compared to Medevial and Roman ages). And where did you get that "women tend to be smarter" bs? If anything it's the exact opposite. The top percentile of IQs are completely dominated by men, there are statistically more than twice as much men than women with IQ above 130 and 30 times as much men as there are women with IQ above 170. Although it's believed among experts that men and women have same general intelligence, several recent IQ test datas including from many universities samples show that among adults men have 2-5 higher average IQs than women. While females show equal or slightly higher average IQ among those below 18,17 or 16 year olds.
I'm Gen Z, I used to lean to the left, but shifted towards Libertarianism over the years as I feel that the left has failed at their promises. Defunding the police is a bad idea, the cost of living is INSANE, the erosion of free speech and expression, and how crappy cities have become is one of the reasons for my shift towards the right. Disclaimer is that my shift to the right is not necessarily more Conservative, but more Libertarian.
@@johnchandler1687 I kind of misspoke on my first comment. Personally, for me, I am fiscally conservative. However, for social values, I am not necessarily social conservative.
Let me save you some time by letting you know that Libertarians are mostly closet anarchists and immoral degenerates. I hate that I fell for such a meme of an ideology, but live and learn I guess. Plus their ideology is pretty stupid once you're an adult with some actual experience in the world. It's all just idealism, just like liberalism.
@@joriankell1983depends on the type of Libertarianism. I don’t believe in anarchy and I do have morals, but I reject authoritarianism, so I would be more of an anti-authoritarian. However, I do favor retaining the state to protect the borders and keeping people safe from crime and violence, kind of like a night watchman state. With the rising threat of authoritarianism across the world, I believe it’s the people’s duty to fight to defend liberty, because once we fail to do that, we will be living in an Orwellian 1984 society.
People in Portland...like my dad...don't see tent cities as gov mismanagement. They see it as a necessary step for progress towards the eventual utopian wünderland they've been after. I visited my dad recently and stayed at a hotel near the Lloyd Center across the street from a small park. My dad says, "don't go into that park at night or you'll get mugged" to which I replied "when did that become a problem? It isn't like that 280 miles south [where I live] and it shouldn't be a problem here." In any case I also told him that I'm the one THEY need to worry about cuz I won't hesitate. I have a lot more rounds on me than they probably think lol
Interesting your dad thinks its the necessary direction to create utopia but is afraid you might get mugged/robbed/assaulted/raped/murdered within the borders of utopia. How does he reconcile that?
heh, I just ran across a pretty great quote the other day. "Those who seeks to create Utopia. Will always end up making hell. For it was never god that promised Utopia on earth, he warned that life outside of Eden would always be very difficult. No... the one promising you Utopia will always be the devil." It feels like there's truth to that in a way, everybody who seeks Utopia always end up justifying it with horrible actions and really dumb decisions, and they create hell... every single time... Nazis just wanted to make an Utopia, no joking. And because the goal was Utopia everything was allowed! The CCP just wants utopia, so everything they do is okay for that goal.
Sadly, using those rounds in Portland, kind of no matter why, will most likely see you being the one who gets jail time. The push to generate high crime rates includes criminalizing trying to protect yourself from the rising crime.
I used to work in the hotel across from the park. I think it was the tail end of 1991, I had parked on the hotel side of the street bording that park, and didn't get off until 12:30am. As I got to my car, 2 men were strolling out of the park, yelling at me to give them my car. I ignored them, got in, and started it. One of them slammed his hand on the roof as I drove off. No cells back then, but I called hotel security when I got home, and they said 2 guys came into the lobby and had to be chased out. And yeah I was very lucky. Incidentally, I left Portland long, long ago.
I've always said, if they want change, they shouldn't move, but vote against the problem, especially at the local level. Once they see the benefits of voting against their problems, they're far more likely to vote that way at the State and federal level. Change begins at home. Recognize the problem, and be the solution, don't spread the problem, by voting for the same policies elsewhere.
People should be banned from voting for an entire election cycle, four years, if they move states. Just another way they cheat -- democrats file into busses and drive across countries registering and voting in elections in places they don't even live in, and never show up to collect their IDs. People who have multiple IDs active in several states should at least be apprehended and put under intense questioning.
God bless you former Californian sister! Make sure the rest of the other Commiefornians don’t ruin the state you live in next! I’ll do what I can on my part! 👍🏻🇺🇸
As a political moderate who leans a little bit left, I’m definitely ashamed of the Democratic Party. They haven’t keep their words nor proven themselves.
I'm conservative but both the democratic and republican war mongeres saying that a threat to israel or ukraine is a threat to democracy and therefore a threat to the usa really turns me away. I'd say I still vastly agree more with republicans but sending billions of dollars to countries that have no interest or value to america is insane especially when theres mental health issues, crime, drugs flowing through the border as well as a flood of illegal immigrants and many more problems. On top of 40 trillion in debt. But nikki haley will gladly send billions and billions to a place in a relatively corrupt Ukraine that she cant even pinpoint on a map
I say this also as someone who is moderate but leans right, there are times that the Republicans don't keep their word, sometimes they do, but I think to be a politician, you kinda have to lie about some of the policies they say, again not all of the things they lie about but, they are politicians and I'm not exactly surprised, that they have not kept their promises.
Don't think that we conservatives here in Austin are happy with it. We just can't get the voting numbers to turn it around. It's incredibly discouraging.
@@TheTibetyakunfortunately it has to be a massive change at the smaller local levels before the city itself will shift. Like in Louisiana we recently had a bit of a red explosion in heavy blue areas bc people are sick of the fucking crime and piss poor condition we are in
I think it’s true that since the democrats stopped focusing on their economic policies (Free food lunch, food stamps, healthcare reform, blue collar unions), and started being the party of feminists and LGBT, they’ve began to lose a lot of voters, first white working class in states like the rust belt and Appalachia, now with non-white poorer city voters. However, they’ve managed to keep the balance by winning over more college educated whites and suburban areas. If Republicans manage to win those groups back somehow, I don’t think the democrats will be able to win another national election for a long time.
That was always red meat that they threw at the base to keep them voting, they never had any intention of passing any of that. Like what Republicans do with immigration.
But aren't the free food and medicines are necessary after the economic setbacks cause but COVID-19? Besides, this is the 21st century and as Americans we should look out for each other, not only looking out for ourselves, why is why America is miserable and why we keep losing wars... Out of pure selfishness and arrogance.
Quite frankly, I've noticed this too! The last couple of elections here in Cali the GOP has been steadily gaining more ground as they became more competent by starting to take advantage of the opportunities ballot harvesting has created for them that the older RINOs of the GOP choose to ignore and purposefully lose. I think it 10yrs we have a purple California if not an R+1 or R+2 (still a toss-up if you think about it though) if the cities here trend further to the right by another 2-5 points in the next election. There are definitely cracks in the Globalist (WHIG) machine!
It aint going purple man. Not until we end the winner takes all norm and allow counties to submit their own electoral vote rather than being forced by the state
@@jason200912 Let me be optimistic T_T Yeah I get what you're saying, but we can't ignore the trends, and that the California GOP has somehow gained a few vertebrae. Things are changing here, albeit slowly.
Your videos are very clear and the presentation is excellent. Also, and this is a huge deal, they are short. Once a video gets past the 7 or 8 minute mark people tend to move on.

I think it was mostly just because Obama's election had a novelty to it that Biden doesn't have. Obama was the outlier, not Biden. I think it's just reverting back to the mean.
Expanding, not disagreeing Obama was very charismatic. Biden can barely speak most of the time. Additionally, the possibility of a black president meant a lot to many people.
@@blahblahblah6 Half black, Mulatto. His mom was white. He's not black. He was a rich white kid, raised in Hawaii and sent to Bill Ayers for grooming in Chicago. Domestic terrorist who people voted for because they kept being told they had to vote for him because of his skin colour.
people partially blamed george bush and conservative policy for the 2008 crash in the same way hoover got flak for the great depression, so obviously obama's term saw a resurgance for liberal policy, however nowadays its a bit flipped, its liberal policy of soft on crime, open immigration and strange social justice policies that are getting people more and more frustrated as the real problems are ignored or outright made worse by the attempts of social justice to make society in their image. you could very well see a bit of a lean towards the right, especially if hard economic times fall, as people blame the governments that have been questionable at best of focusing on 'feel good' issues rather than the real problems.
Bingo. People barked that Trump won in 2016 because the US is so racist, and the GOP tried/tries to keep black people from voting ... forgetting that Obama was no longer running, and thousands of blacks don't like Hillary, Trump OR Biden.
@sovietunion7643 If Bush had deposed Alan greenspan and imposed Ben Bernanke (Greenspan's professor), the entire global depression would have been prevented. Reason is because Bernanke knew how to deflate a bubble which is slowly increasing interest rates in response to overpriced homes. And to slowly decrease interest rates in response to underpriced homes (or slow markets) Greenspan however decided to test a hypothesis resulting in rampant unemployment. He kept interest rates dirt low. Caused a housing bubble, and kept it low again because he couldn't decrease it any further. Then it exploded and the economy crashed as soon as 1 rich man decided to cash out and sell real estate.
Or, maybe, conservative doesn't mean what it used to mean. "I didn’t leave the Democratic party, the Democratic Party left me." - Ronald Reagan History has shown us as the left becomes more progressive the right moves left.
How tho? Like people say this but it's usually when a social conservative simply enacts socially conservative legislation or change. For example people claim the recent Roe v. Wade overturning is a great example of reactionary politics but it's not like the right ever changed its stance on abortion or whatever and reverted to some prior state of belief. They always were anti abortion and simply got into a favourable political position to make that change. I find the word in general is over used and is politicized really @@Prauwlet213
I grew up about an hour north of Detroit in a rural area back in the 1990s. Detroit was a disaster throughout that time period, and not mention what happened decades before that. When Detroit was in a major decline, but after the decline leveled off Detroit saw violence, gangs, and murders take off. People that grew up with that are tired of it. They want change, and the democrats aren't changing. It's more of the same. Allow illegals migrants to come in, give them housing, food, healthcare, while citizens here have been struggling for decades. If Republicans want to see a major shift in voting in cities, they need to reach out to these people and show them, citizens are a priority here and not illegal immigrants. America first needs to be the priority. Not putting the well being of our own people before people who enter this county illegally. We can't help others, when we ourselves are failing.
I'm in LA, and almost everyone I know is ready to vote red on the next elections. Its getting crazy out here. Crime is THROUGH the roof, housing is extremely expensive, gas is nearly $6 a gallon, homelessness is a huge problem here, etc.
I can vouch for this shift. I’m from a major US city, and up until 2020 was quite liberal. But between the harsh covid mandates, the push of transgender ideology, and the increasingly hostile environment against free speech, I’ve found myself falling more and more in the conservative camp. The covid mandates forced me to choose between a medical treatment I didn’t want and my livelihood, forced me to live as a second class citizen, made it impossible for me to access necessary healthcare, and forced me to be socially isolated. These draconian measures went far beyond anything I ever thought I’d see in America, and I will always vote against politicians who pushed or were in favour of these measures. Additionally, I don’t ever want to be asked my pronouns, as though my gender weren’t obvious, or how I identify. I don’t want doctors to refer to me as a “birthing person” or a “cis” anything. I don’t want to use locker rooms or toilets alongside men. And I don’t want to live in fear of speaking the truth. These things have, against my will, become more and more common in my life, and I will always vote for politicians who are in favour of biological facts, protecting free speech, and protecting female spaces.
Well the COVID politics of the democrats was the conservative not you. The liberal way is the freedom the common good is the conservative way. The security and order is the conservative way and every collectivism or leftish or rightist but never liberal. The trans politics is too very collectivist now and Anti-free speech is very illiberal, but I don’t understand why are you against for that trans peopel USE that toilet what they want. I mean I’m liberal support the freedom so why problem is this for you? Anyway wich city where you from?
Why? Cause they’ve consistently voted blue for the last four decades and things have not only NOT gotten better but they’ve become absolutely miserable.
Another point is these cities have become so expensive to live in. Rents and mortgages are very high and most people cannot afford to live there anymore so they have moved into the suburbs. Many long standing RED suburbs are now BLUE because of this shift.
@@skurinski Depends on issues. Latinos tend to be socially conservative, because of the Catholic and family-oriented aspect. Economically, they do what everyone else does: vote the way that seems best for their own prosperity. A Latino surgeon probably votes Right, because he wants to keep his money, while a Latino janitor probably votes Left, because he wants to get some of the surgeon's money. Most Latinos (and other non-white groups, like Indians and Arabs) that I've talked to are Right on immigration, crime, and national-security issues -- they came here to get AWAY from the Third World, and don't like seeing it brought here and given some of their tax money.
@@franko9928 NO I dont, I dont live there anymore. I dont know if the NUMBER of conservatives of those with conservative leanings are rising in Dallas, but I do know that a lot of hard lefties have left over the past year or so
Agreed. Ppl tend to vote with their pocketbook so when they see their taxes are not helping them, they will look for an alternative. Our job is to give them the alternative
Also plenty of people screwed over by private health insurance and vote based on that. If th3 gop had a good policy on h3althcare and abortion they would be dominant.
@@TillisIsDone The policy is to get government out of health care and end the anti trust exemptions. This creates more competition, eventually brings down the cost. Problem is a lot of ppl have a high time preference and prefer handouts, they dont understand that notn is free.
@hanklesacks I'm still waiting to see an example of a completely unregulated work in the real world. We've seen the opposite work in the real world but not free market healthcare. Healthcare is just one of those externalities that the free market is not the best solution. Same with things like roads, parks, emergency services.
@@TillisIsDone The free market is and always will be the better solution. Free market enterprises provide better incentives which spur efficiency, quality and innovation. Human beings are self interested creatures, they will do for themselves before they do for others and that won't change by putting more emphasis on the "common good" which is the idea behind government-run enterprises. It will just result in lower quality service due to lack of incentives to amass wealth, anything thats run by government simply will never be able to compete for this simple reason
Simple and effective description of the reality. There should be more no-nonsense information here on TH-cam, but no, you are a rarity. Well done and said!
I grew up in Los Angeles. My family are all Democrats. I didn’t vote in 2016 but shortly after I started to pay more attention to what was going on and I couldn’t believe it. The gas lighting, corruption, bad ideas, race baiting. I was done. I became a populist Republican.
Here are the two cities in America that I personally predict will flip red in the future: Chicago and New York. Here is why. Black Chicago residents, who would otherwise vote Democrat, have been vowing to flip the city red. From city hall demonstrations to just simply being asked in the street, they have been telling the Democrat establishment they want a Republican. As for New York, the current mayor, who is a Democrat, has the lowest approval rating of any mayor in the city's history. Not to mention how there is a spike of New Yorkers who want ICE back in NYC. However, in order for that to happen, we need Republican candidate to run, have the GOP and the candidates say the right things, in Chicago's case, campaign in the black areas, and have the Republican Party push these candidates HARD. That is how you get the votes and WIN the mayoral elections.
My Dallas, Texas suburb has probably shifted 10 points to the left in the last 10 years. They've built an extreme number of dense block apartments in that time.

2:21 - "Racial Depolarization" "Historically, White voters lean toward the Right, while Minority groups lean toward the Left. ... "This shift could explain why racially-diverse cities ... saw massive swings toward the Right..." . I think you need to explain your 'Racial Depolarization" concept a little better - otherwise it sounds like you're saying that the White population (28% in L.A.) is somehow swaying the other 78% of the population, politically... which would, of necessity, also mean 'Culturally'. I don't see how that happens.
yea i think he forgot to say something like 'but over time, these groups began moving in opposite directions, with whites leaning more left-wards and minorities leading more to the right'
I can tell you one example of people moving toward the center in urban areas on one specific issue. There was this huge blackout in the winter where people froze to death at one point, that was discovered to be due to trying to meet rising energy demand with only solar and wind. People who were on the right moved towards the "left" in the sense of being willing to support more infrastructure spending, and people who were on the left in terms of being environmentalist and wanting renewables relented on their environmental standards and shifted "right" in the sense of being willing to new fossil fuel plants because of not wanting to see rolling blackouts or people dying because we couldn't produce enough power to meet demand. At some point, reality kind of interposed itself between the conservative unwillingness to spend money on infrastructure, and the liberal idealism about what kind of infrastructure we build, and said, "Okay, either the government invests in imperfect things like new nuclear or fossil fuel PDQ, or people are going to die and the grid is going to be overloaded. What's it going to be, are you guys going to stick to your ideals or are you going to try and do what it takes to prevent that?"
I've noticed this too while looking at precinct viting results. Nearky every inner city has moved right, in some cases by 40 points. It was suburbs and rural areas that ultimately shifted left and pushed Biden over.
This is simply not true. I don't know where you're getting your info, but it's just inaccurate. Go pull up the 2008 or 2012 election results for each district and compare it to 2016 or 2020. Each district has remained near the same with deviations of between +10 to -10 for democrats. Brooklyn in 2004 was 83% dem, 2008 88%, 2012 81%, 2016 79.5%, 2020 77%. Queens 2004 71.7% dem, 2008 75%, 2012 79%, 2016 75%, 2020 72.2%. Cities aren't becoming more conservative nor liberal (the fluctuations are just standard deviations)
Sadly, we in the People's Republic of california will never experience this shift while Newscum is the Governor. He is the primary reason why many are embarrased to admit we live here.
This is happening in the UK too, just not yet as much as in the US. My city (Liverpool) has been a Labour party stronghold for decades, but there is a growing shift to the right here, as homelessness is steadily getting worse and more illegal migrants have been getting placed here in hotels. This city will most likely vote safely for Labour in 2024, but I won't be shocked if this changes now the party is committed to taking away our freedom to travel, work, speak and just live as we want.
The problem with UK is that you don't really have a conservative alternative. The Republican party in the USA might be pathetic, but there are still some good and capable people within it. The so-called Conservative Party in the UK is basically a leftist organization. After brexit the UK looks more like EU than the EU itself. And who's been in charge the entire time? And now with Cameron threatening to return I fear that it'll only get worse.
@@robjdtvTrue. But I'm afraid that before that happens you'll have at least one Labour Party government. Kinda like in Poland. We just had elections last Autumn and the biggest Polish gangster became the PM. He'll be much worse than the previous government, but that might be the only way to finally remove his party from the political picture. They need to disgrace themselves completely.
@@poiuyt975Well UK not looks like EU more Than EU. In UK for example very bad free speech maybe the worst in all Europe, maybe only Germany or Austria similary bad… in UK there is no privacy rights for example in US, okay maybe privacy rights in even worse, but Europe is protect the privacy rights and now started protect them more. And UK not so liberal Than EU.
Dallas will be an interesting place to watch for this trend. I haven't checked to see if this trend is occurring there, but the current mayor, who is running unopposed, just said he is switching to the Republican party. While this has no effect on the city election, not only because he's running unopposed, but because city elections in Texas are non-partisan, constitutionally. My suspicion is he's getting ready to run for a state office after this term as mayor. However, he may be calling himself a Republican, but there is no doubt he will be a RNC (Republican not Conservative).
Dallas and Fort Worth inner city shifted a lot to the right although when looking at the 2020 trend map the hard red in the inner city was surrounded by a sea of blue, especially in Dallas where many suburbs had drastic leftward shifts and this is where the majority of the metro lives. Rural areas also shifted but that's more in line with the average generic ballot which swung to the left.
I am going to correct you when you said historically speaking minority voters "lean to the left" as we shouldn't forget African Americans during the 1860s and 1950s at least by majority were extremely conservative.
Why Cities Are Getting More Conservative and Why Cities Are Getting More Liberal - published in a span of one month. The Why Minutes sure is worth my time!
The other video is titled "Why Cities Are So Left-Wing," not "Why Cities Are Getting More Liberal." It's a quick look at the fact that all around the world, urban centers trend liberal and rural areas trend conservative. And at the end of that video, Nick mentioned that some cities recently have experienced a shift toward conservatism. There's no hypocrisy here, just you trying to make a point without bothering to take 3 minutes to get your facts straight.
Another thing here is where I live SO MANY POP UP HOUSES or slab houses like I mean by the thousands will be put up before 2026 it’s crazy man I hope my state isn’t going to turn a left state
I've said this before in conversations with my family and I will say it again here..... this topic should be treated like war or at least a long chess game. There is a reason this did not happen overnight and it ties in directly to the fall of basic education the ideas of indoctrination. I think Krushchev said way back that the idea/system of communism would take hold in the USA and not a shot would need to be fired. This was said some 60+ years ago I think. The strategy was to play the long game because they knew it wouldn't work with the WW2 vets and baby boomers and the older folks, so ideas and concepts masked as "intellectual" have gradually been introduced at least over the last 50+ years and what are most inner cities and younger people believing? It aligns very much with what Krushchev predicted and now that you have people that are between 16 and 35ish years of age believing is the common narrative. Many can't even tell you who attacked us on 9/11 or much less, why they did. They sure as hell don't know and aren't even told about the multiple times small sections in the US voluntarily have tried communism over the past decades and they all fail. Over periods of 5 to 10 years a few ideas are gradually introduced so it doesn't seem to be too radical too quickly because the people that set all this rolling 50+ years ago knew that they would need the grandkids to implement this type of thing. Don't take my word for it, the words of Krushchev are recorded and look at those comments and similar ones made by many others and then just look at the visual evidence around you. Thing is..... now people are confused as to what even qualifies as facts and don't and can't even trust what they see and hear and it is getting worse with things like deep fake technology. I must admit that it is and was a brilliant strategy, very Machiavellian, and is remarkably similar to how you would fight a successful war against the US. Get us to defeat ourselves by sowing seeds if discord over decades and be patient to reap the rewards and establish a uniparty. I mean... didn't AOC even mention the idea of a "uniparty" in Congress within the last year?
Krushchev understood that you have to work to maintain any social order other than the tribalism which is natural to humans, and the US hasn't been doing that work. Tribalism leads to a loss of social cohesion and thus to every little group thinking they're being exploited (because they ARE, by more successful tribes). And Marxism RUNS on the anger of those who feel insufficiently successful. Notice that the USSR collapsed first, because they weren't doing any better than us at making everyone feel like they were part of the winning tribe.
Mitt rommney was also very anti gun. McCain was very pro gun. I actually became a single issue voter now because it's the only thing I enjoy that's at risk of becoming extinct. All my other hobbies are completely safe and have no chance of being banned.
Notice how he never mentions Chicago, because sadly they elected an even more radical left mayor and that city almost exclusively votes not on party lines, but racial lines, so whatever race is the largest demo in Chicago, will have their mayor. Chicago as a result, is getting worse and worse than even places like NYC and LA. So much so that the black population has finally realized one problem the right has been banging on about, immigration. The black population is FED UP with the amount of immigrants coming in, which could finally open a door for people to start talking to them on how they can vote different, not even necessarily Republican, just someone else.
Dear Nick; I have been a Republican Election official since 2005. And voting and being Republican seems so lonely. I hope more shift. I love Philadelphia, but I hate who run it. Sincerely in Xto A Ghetto Conservative Mike B. B. From Philly, P.A. U.S.A.!
A lot of wishful thinking. Voters continue to elect far left mayors and common councils in cities like Chicago, (Lori Lightfoot to Brandon Johnson), New York (Bill de Blasio to Eric Adams) Los Angeles ( to Karen Bass) Portland and Seattle have made no signs of moving to the right either the mayor or DA's. You'd think Chicago would have moved noticeably to the right after Lightfoot's debacle but it doesn't show with Johnson. Of course, the democrats are the ones counting the votes so it's entirely possible that they will continue to get the results they desire.
Mayor hold little power. It's the governor that swings the axe. I think there was one recently where a few states flipped governors despite being in a opposite party color state
I think people everywhere are starting to realize that, while these utopian ideals sound nice, they are impossible to implement realistically. And all the attempts that have been made to do so have been disasters. Once something starts to effect someone on a very real, very personal level they might have to reevaluate all that idealistic thinking
Both communism and socialism sound nice on paper but have failed everywhere. Most of these collectives use capitalist GDP to fund their socialist dreams, but in reality, they'd have socialist GDP to fund their socialist nightmare.
I know this is specifically about cities but I believe the other anomaly is that due to the failing economy as well as inflation, formerly single income families in the suburbs have been forced into both parents working which removes daily liberal talk shows that shame people into certain beliefs!!!
The one common thread of differentiation that will start emerging will not be geographical location, but answering the following question: Did these voters attend university, especially directly on campus?
I would think some if it is also the ones in heavy blue areas finally evacuating and moving to more purple zones and seeing the same things they just escaped from being proposed and are like HELL NO
Usually they vote the same as they were in the city. Their only reason for fleeing is to find cheap land and cheap rent. Their politics and opinions tend to be identical.
Would be good to see data from areas where the shift is different or hasn’t trended. Not saying the video is wrong, it would be nice to see the full picture
I live in Lansing, Michigan, and it is terrible. You can't even use your truck to move a camper to the backyard, the only place besides your driveway you can put it. God send us someone to send things the right way. In Jesus name Amen.
This video is the very thing it accuse the mainstream off. Biden and Obama are two very different candidate with two complete different approach. You will see even more redshift in cities for 2024, because Biden’s base come from Democratic suburb. He’s most left leaning on labour laws, which most city ppl care very little about
Those gains are more an aberration than a long term shift. These cities mentioned are permanently dystopian, full of voters looking for more entitlements. Personal responsibility and self sufficiency are not something that sells there ..
Honestly, one thing that needs to be addressed in this arguement is candidate quality. I'm no fan of Obama, but he was definitely a more exciting candidate than Hillary or Biden.
It’s fairly silly to assume that because people in one area predominantly voted for the Republican candidate that somehow it has become more conservative. People will vote for whatever presidential candidate they feel may do a better job on national issues, but that does not mean their personal ideologies have changed. Just because Kentucky voted in a Democrat governor doesn’t mean the people of Kentucky in their majority are liberal. Very bad assessment
Simply they are getting the results of the policies they voted for and thought they wanted, now, they are very painfully slowly realizing "..wow those were all really dumb ideas".
Even a point or two could shift Michigan and Georgia. A decent shift could shift New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Island. I bug shift could flip New York and Illinois
As a republican myself, It’s not a trend, it’s because Obama was a much better candidate than Hillary and Biden. Also Trump was a better candidate than Romney. If an Obama quality candidate ran as a democrat the numbers would shift right back to where they were in 2012.
Calling it government mismanagement when they know exactly what they're doing is ludicrous. You won't convince me they're causing these problems on accident.
just note that more conservative doesnt mean conservative. joe manchin is more conservative than bernie sanders…. best we can say is, “progress; still a long way to go”
I guess that the choice of Trump vs all the illegals they have to pay for, may have a lot to do with it. Trump is about attitude. Biden is about having to deal with illegals and all their shortcomings, and the net effect of other liberalism.
The Democratic powerhouses in these big cities are setting their Cities on fire through active bad management, purposefully done so. People happening to notice this are getting fed up with it as they realize that this is being Engineered as opposed to Fought. u.u

Eh, I think it's important not to conflate Obama's immense personal popularity with the popularity of liberal policies overall. For one thing, remember that Barack Obama won his primary contest against Hillary Clinton by running to her *right*. In 2012, he didn't face a primary challenge. Also, Joe Biden, who the GOP seem to want to call the "most liberal president ever" also ran to the right of every other candidate in the 2020 Democratic Primary. Obama's margin of victory in 2008 was 7.27% That's a margin of popularity which hasn't been seen since 1996, in Bill Clinton's re-election bid. Donald Trump, by contrast, is the least popular President since 1876, and by far the consistently lowest in terms of approval rating since polling has been done. So, yeah, a lot of people turned out to vote for Barack Obama. Hell, by your own numbers, Republicans just didn't even *show up* for Mitt Romney, at least not in Brooklyn. My point is not necessarily that your thesis is incorrect, but that most of the gains or loses vote margin is undecided voters who are swayed by personal charisma and the appeal they see in a particular candidate's pitch. If you really want to see where the demographic and fundamental party preference shifts are happening, you need to look at less publicized election results which intermittent voters don't show up for. Mayor. City Council. Attorney General. Because those are the guys who will be contending for Congress and the Senate in a couple of terms, and maybe one day, President. Remember, Obama didn't start out as President, he was elected to the Illinois Senate, served for 7 years, and then won the 2004 Democratic Primary in a shocking landslide, turning him into an overnight sensation, whch got him his keynote address to the Democratic National Convention, which got him the national exposure to contest Hillary Clinton just four years later.
Donald Trump least popular president since 1876? What kind of crack or propaganda youre taking? Even more least popular than Carter or any horrible president out there?
Cities like Miami have had conservative base for a while. You still see homeless and poverty in South Florida. Homeless camps in the forests and swamps are growing. The state government will do little about it, even when it is exposed in the media. Red states like Florida are also plagued with the same issues as blue states. The approach by both camps is the same. Do nothing about it. Don't solve the issue.

"Mismanagement" is a generous term.

Another point I’d like to add is that recent polls on America’s youth are finding more and more young boys and men trend to the right, while the opposite is occurring to young women and girls. This is occurring even in families where both parents are liberal. And, seeing as young men will be our future soldiers, workers, and builders, we could see the men vote overwhelmingly for Conservative candidates.
This is particularly bad for Dems because they already have big support from young women, and the shift won't offset the loss of young male support
Men typically vote red more than women do
also because the women are less likely to fall for propagana and tend to be smarter and developed... which is why they see reason.
@@Classicsfrom2023 lol you think women are less likely to fall for propaganda despite you all agreeing with crap like men can menstruate and give birth, etc 💀 Women are more easily manipulated and are thus more likely to fall for propaganda. It has already been proven that higher testosterone makes a person less cooperative towards outside influence and more disagreeable. School and mainstream media indoctrinate with left wing agendas not right wing ones. You also probably think gender pay gap is real and that we should increase taxes to prevent the earth from apparently getting hot (even though the earth has been significantly cooler as compared to Medevial and Roman ages).
And where did you get that "women tend to be smarter" bs? If anything it's the exact opposite. The top percentile of IQs are completely dominated by men, there are statistically more than twice as much men than women with IQ above 130 and 30 times as much men as there are women with IQ above 170. Although it's believed among experts that men and women have same general intelligence, several recent IQ test datas including from many universities samples show that among adults men have 2-5 higher average IQs than women. While females show equal or slightly higher average IQ among those below 18,17 or 16 year olds.
@@Classicsfrom2023 Women are more vulnerable to propaganda in general due to their more emotional nature.
I'm Gen Z, I used to lean to the left, but shifted towards Libertarianism over the years as I feel that the left has failed at their promises. Defunding the police is a bad idea, the cost of living is INSANE, the erosion of free speech and expression, and how crappy cities have become is one of the reasons for my shift towards the right. Disclaimer is that my shift to the right is not necessarily more Conservative, but more Libertarian.
Defunding the police is a bad idea?

Libertarian is conservative. More so than so called conservatives. Or so my copy of the Constitution says. 😊
@@johnchandler1687 I kind of misspoke on my first comment. Personally, for me, I am fiscally conservative. However, for social values, I am not necessarily social conservative.
Let me save you some time by letting you know that Libertarians are mostly closet anarchists and immoral degenerates. I hate that I fell for such a meme of an ideology, but live and learn I guess.
Plus their ideology is pretty stupid once you're an adult with some actual experience in the world. It's all just idealism, just like liberalism.
@@joriankell1983depends on the type of Libertarianism. I don’t believe in anarchy and I do have morals, but I reject authoritarianism, so I would be more of an anti-authoritarian. However, I do favor retaining the state to protect the borders and keeping people safe from crime and violence, kind of like a night watchman state. With the rising threat of authoritarianism across the world, I believe it’s the people’s duty to fight to defend liberty, because once we fail to do that, we will be living in an Orwellian 1984 society.
People in Portland...like my dad...don't see tent cities as gov mismanagement. They see it as a necessary step for progress towards the eventual utopian wünderland they've been after.
I visited my dad recently and stayed at a hotel near the Lloyd Center across the street from a small park. My dad says, "don't go into that park at night or you'll get mugged" to which I replied "when did that become a problem? It isn't like that 280 miles south [where I live] and it shouldn't be a problem here." In any case I also told him that I'm the one THEY need to worry about cuz I won't hesitate. I have a lot more rounds on me than they probably think lol
Interesting your dad thinks its the necessary direction to create utopia but is afraid you might get mugged/robbed/assaulted/raped/murdered within the borders of utopia. How does he reconcile that?
heh, I just ran across a pretty great quote the other day. "Those who seeks to create Utopia. Will always end up making hell. For it was never god that promised Utopia on earth, he warned that life outside of Eden would always be very difficult. No... the one promising you Utopia will always be the devil."
It feels like there's truth to that in a way, everybody who seeks Utopia always end up justifying it with horrible actions and really dumb decisions, and they create hell... every single time... Nazis just wanted to make an Utopia, no joking. And because the goal was Utopia everything was allowed! The CCP just wants utopia, so everything they do is okay for that goal.
Who’s the biggest boy? Who’s a big boy?
Sadly, using those rounds in Portland, kind of no matter why, will most likely see you being the one who gets jail time. The push to generate high crime rates includes criminalizing trying to protect yourself from the rising crime.
I used to work in the hotel across from the park. I think it was the tail end of 1991, I had parked on the hotel side of the street bording that park, and didn't get off until 12:30am. As I got to my car, 2 men were strolling out of the park, yelling at me to give them my car. I ignored them, got in, and started it. One of them slammed his hand on the roof as I drove off. No cells back then, but I called hotel security when I got home, and they said 2 guys came into the lobby and had to be chased out. And yeah I was very lucky. Incidentally, I left Portland long, long ago.
I've always said, if they want change, they shouldn't move, but vote against the problem, especially at the local level. Once they see the benefits of voting against their problems, they're far more likely to vote that way at the State and federal level. Change begins at home. Recognize the problem, and be the solution, don't spread the problem, by voting for the same policies elsewhere.
This is exactly why I chose to stay in my hometown (a major US city). I vote for change. I push for the city I want to live in.
People should be banned from voting for an entire election cycle, four years, if they move states.
Just another way they cheat -- democrats file into busses and drive across countries registering and voting in elections in places they don't even live in, and never show up to collect their IDs.
People who have multiple IDs active in several states should at least be apprehended and put under intense questioning.

I'm conservative but both the democratic and republican war mongeres saying that a threat to israel or ukraine is a threat to democracy and therefore a threat to the usa really turns me away. I'd say I still vastly agree more with republicans but sending billions of dollars to countries that have no interest or value to america is insane especially when theres mental health issues, crime, drugs flowing through the border as well as a flood of illegal immigrants and many more problems. On top of 40 trillion in debt. But nikki haley will gladly send billions and billions to a place in a relatively corrupt Ukraine that she cant even pinpoint on a map
And should've go for the younger since we are already in the start of the Great Death
I say this also as someone who is moderate but leans right, there are times that the Republicans don't keep their word, sometimes they do, but I think to be a politician, you kinda have to lie about some of the policies they say, again not all of the things they lie about but, they are politicians and I'm not exactly surprised, that they have not kept their promises.

I think it’s true that since the democrats stopped focusing on their economic policies (Free food lunch, food stamps, healthcare reform, blue collar unions), and started being the party of feminists and LGBT, they’ve began to lose a lot of voters, first white working class in states like the rust belt and Appalachia, now with non-white poorer city voters. However, they’ve managed to keep the balance by winning over more college educated whites and suburban areas. If Republicans manage to win those groups back somehow, I don’t think the democrats will be able to win another national election for a long time.

people partially blamed george bush and conservative policy for the 2008 crash in the same way hoover got flak for the great depression, so obviously obama's term saw a resurgance for liberal policy,
however nowadays its a bit flipped, its liberal policy of soft on crime, open immigration and strange social justice policies that are getting people more and more frustrated as the real problems are ignored or outright made worse by the attempts of social justice to make society in their image.

@sovietunion7643
If Bush had deposed Alan greenspan and imposed Ben Bernanke (Greenspan's professor), the entire global depression would have been prevented.
Reason is because Bernanke knew how to deflate a bubble which is slowly increasing interest rates in response to overpriced homes. And to slowly decrease interest rates in response to underpriced homes (or slow markets)
Greenspan however decided to test a hypothesis resulting in rampant unemployment. He kept interest rates dirt low. Caused a housing bubble, and kept it low again because he couldn't decrease it any further. Then it exploded and the economy crashed as soon as 1 rich man decided to cash out and sell real estate.

I grew up about an hour north of Detroit in a rural area back in the 1990s. Detroit was a disaster throughout that time period, and not mention what happened decades before that. When Detroit was in a major decline, but after the decline leveled off Detroit saw violence, gangs, and murders take off. People that grew up with that are tired of it. They want change, and the democrats aren't changing. It's more of the same. Allow illegals migrants to come in, give them housing, food, healthcare, while citizens here have been struggling for decades.
If Republicans want to see a major shift in voting in cities, they need to reach out to these people and show them, citizens are a priority here and not illegal immigrants. America first needs to be the priority. Not putting the well being of our own people before people who enter this county illegally. We can't help others, when we ourselves are failing.
I'm in LA, and almost everyone I know is ready to vote red on the next elections. Its getting crazy out here. Crime is THROUGH the roof, housing is extremely expensive, gas is nearly $6 a gallon, homelessness is a huge problem here, etc.

I can vouch for this shift. I’m from a major US city, and up until 2020 was quite liberal. But between the harsh covid mandates, the push of transgender ideology, and the increasingly hostile environment against free speech, I’ve found myself falling more and more in the conservative camp. The covid mandates forced me to choose between a medical treatment I didn’t want and my livelihood, forced me to live as a second class citizen, made it impossible for me to access necessary healthcare, and forced me to be socially isolated. These draconian measures went far beyond anything I ever thought I’d see in America, and I will always vote against politicians who pushed or were in favour of these measures.
Additionally, I don’t ever want to be asked my pronouns, as though my gender weren’t obvious, or how I identify. I don’t want doctors to refer to me as a “birthing person” or a “cis” anything. I don’t want to use locker rooms or toilets alongside men. And I don’t want to live in fear of speaking the truth. These things have, against my will, become more and more common in my life, and I will always vote for politicians who are in favour of biological facts, protecting free speech, and protecting female spaces.

Here are the two cities in America that I personally predict will flip red in the future: Chicago and New York. Here is why. Black Chicago residents, who would otherwise vote Democrat, have been vowing to flip the city red. From city hall demonstrations to just simply being asked in the street, they have been telling the Democrat establishment they want a Republican. As for New York, the current mayor, who is a Democrat, has the lowest approval rating of any mayor in the city's history. Not to mention how there is a spike of New Yorkers who want ICE back in NYC. However, in order for that to happen, we need Republican candidate to run, have the GOP and the candidates say the right things, in Chicago's case, campaign in the black areas, and have the Republican Party push these candidates HARD.

I think you need to explain your 'Racial Depolarization" concept a little better - otherwise it sounds like you're saying that the White population (28% in L.A.) is somehow swaying the other 78% of the population, politically... which would, of necessity, also mean 'Culturally'.

I can tell you one example of people moving toward the center in urban areas on one specific issue. There was this huge blackout in the winter where people froze to death at one point, that was discovered to be due to trying to meet rising energy demand with only solar and wind. People who were on the right moved towards the "left" in the sense of being willing to support more infrastructure spending, and people who were on the left in terms of being environmentalist and wanting renewables relented on their environmental standards and shifted "right" in the sense of being willing to new fossil fuel plants because of not wanting to see rolling blackouts or people dying because we couldn't produce enough power to meet demand. At some point, reality kind of interposed itself between the conservative unwillingness to spend money on infrastructure, and the liberal idealism about what kind of infrastructure we build, and said, "Okay, either the government invests in imperfect things like new nuclear or fossil fuel PDQ, or people are going to die and the grid is going to be overloaded. What's it going to be, are you guys going to stick to your ideals or are you going to try and do what it takes to prevent that?"
I've noticed this too while looking at precinct viting results.
Nearky every inner city has moved right, in some cases by 40 points.

This is simply not true. I don't know where you're getting your info, but it's just inaccurate. Go pull up the 2008 or 2012 election results for each district and compare it to 2016 or 2020. Each district has remained near the same with deviations of between +10 to -10 for democrats. Brooklyn in 2004 was 83% dem, 2008 88%, 2012 81%, 2016 79.5%, 2020 77%. Queens 2004 71.7% dem, 2008 75%, 2012 79%, 2016 75%, 2020 72.2%. Cities aren't becoming more conservative nor liberal (the fluctuations are just standard deviations)
Sadly, we in the People's Republic of california will never experience this shift while Newscum is the Governor. He is the primary reason why many are embarrased to admit we live here.
California experienced a red shift dumbass.
that one made me laugh
@@Quataure 👍
just to specify, i thought the "People's Republic of California" was funny, because it's true, so it wasn't any offense to you@@MyFatAdaptedLife
This is happening in the UK too, just not yet as much as in the US. My city (Liverpool) has been a Labour party stronghold for decades, but there is a growing shift to the right here, as homelessness is steadily getting worse and more illegal migrants have been getting placed here in hotels. This city will most likely vote safely for Labour in 2024, but I won't be shocked if this changes now the party is committed to taking away our freedom to travel, work, speak and just live as we want.
The problem with UK is that you don't really have a conservative alternative. The Republican party in the USA might be pathetic, but there are still some good and capable people within it. The so-called Conservative Party in the UK is basically a leftist organization. After brexit the UK looks more like EU than the EU itself. And who's been in charge the entire time? And now with Cameron threatening to return I fear that it'll only get worse.
@@poiuyt975 Tbh, the UK's only chance is if Reform rises to replace the tories before it's too late and we do a Venezuela
@@robjdtvTrue. But I'm afraid that before that happens you'll have at least one Labour Party government.
Kinda like in Poland. We just had elections last Autumn and the biggest Polish gangster became the PM. He'll be much worse than the previous government, but that might be the only way to finally remove his party from the political picture. They need to disgrace themselves completely.
@@poiuyt975Well UK not looks like EU more Than EU. In UK for example very bad free speech maybe the worst in all Europe, maybe only Germany or Austria similary bad… in UK there is no privacy rights for example in US, okay maybe privacy rights in even worse, but Europe is protect the privacy rights and now started protect them more. And UK not so liberal Than EU.
@@vilagistene2939You are right. In some cases UK is even worse than the EU.
Dallas will be an interesting place to watch for this trend. I haven't checked to see if this trend is occurring there, but the current mayor, who is running unopposed, just said he is switching to the Republican party. While this has no effect on the city election, not only because he's running unopposed, but because city elections in Texas are non-partisan, constitutionally.
My suspicion is he's getting ready to run for a state office after this term as mayor. However, he may be calling himself a Republican, but there is no doubt he will be a RNC (Republican not Conservative).
Dallas and Fort Worth inner city shifted a lot to the right although when looking at the 2020 trend map the hard red in the inner city was surrounded by a sea of blue, especially in Dallas where many suburbs had drastic leftward shifts and this is where the majority of the metro lives. Rural areas also shifted but that's more in line with the average generic ballot which swung to the left.
Dallas is moving left. Houston is the only big one moving right
Supporting Trump from Poland, I hope Americans wake up.
I am going to correct you when you said historically speaking minority voters "lean to the left" as we shouldn't forget African Americans during the 1860s and 1950s at least by majority were extremely conservative.
Thank you.
Why Cities Are Getting More Conservative and Why Cities Are Getting More Liberal - published in a span of one month. The Why Minutes sure is worth my time!
The other video is titled "Why Cities Are So Left-Wing," not "Why Cities Are Getting More Liberal." It's a quick look at the fact that all around the world, urban centers trend liberal and rural areas trend conservative. And at the end of that video, Nick mentioned that some cities recently have experienced a shift toward conservatism. There's no hypocrisy here, just you trying to make a point without bothering to take 3 minutes to get your facts straight.
Another thing here is where I live SO MANY POP UP HOUSES or slab houses like I mean by the thousands will be put up before 2026 it’s crazy man I hope my state isn’t going to turn a left state
I've said this before in conversations with my family and I will say it again here..... this topic should be treated like war or at least a long chess game. There is a reason this did not happen overnight and it ties in directly to the fall of basic education the ideas of indoctrination. I think Krushchev said way back that the idea/system of communism would take hold in the USA and not a shot would need to be fired. This was said some 60+ years ago I think. The strategy was to play the long game because they knew it wouldn't work with the WW2 vets and baby boomers and the older folks, so ideas and concepts masked as "intellectual" have gradually been introduced at least over the last 50+ years and what are most inner cities and younger people believing? It aligns very much with what Krushchev predicted and now that you have people that are between 16 and 35ish years of age believing is the common narrative. Many can't even tell you who attacked us on 9/11 or much less, why they did. They sure as hell don't know and aren't even told about the multiple times small sections in the US voluntarily have tried communism over the past decades and they all fail. Over periods of 5 to 10 years a few ideas are gradually introduced so it doesn't seem to be too radical too quickly because the people that set all this rolling 50+ years ago knew that they would need the grandkids to implement this type of thing. Don't take my word for it, the words of Krushchev are recorded and look at those comments and similar ones made by many others and then just look at the visual evidence around you. Thing is..... now people are confused as to what even qualifies as facts and don't and can't even trust what they see and hear and it is getting worse with things like deep fake technology. I must admit that it is and was a brilliant strategy, very Machiavellian, and is remarkably similar to how you would fight a successful war against the US. Get us to defeat ourselves by sowing seeds if discord over decades and be patient to reap the rewards and establish a uniparty. I mean... didn't AOC even mention the idea of a "uniparty" in Congress within the last year?
Krushchev understood that you have to work to maintain any social order other than the tribalism which is natural to humans, and the US hasn't been doing that work. Tribalism leads to a loss of social cohesion and thus to every little group thinking they're being exploited (because they ARE, by more successful tribes). And Marxism RUNS on the anger of those who feel insufficiently successful.
Notice that the USSR collapsed first, because they weren't doing any better than us at making everyone feel like they were part of the winning tribe.
Miami is right
they're waking up
Re-electing the Democrat superstar Obama vs Mitt Romney in 2012 is not comparable at all to Sleepy Joe in 2020. Big cities are hopeless.
They're the same--all three names you mentioned, as well as Trump...four absoLUTEly equal in disrespect from me.
Mitt rommney was also very anti gun. McCain was very pro gun. I actually became a single issue voter now because it's the only thing I enjoy that's at risk of becoming extinct.
All my other hobbies are completely safe and have no chance of being banned.
Notice how he never mentions Chicago, because sadly they elected an even more radical left mayor and that city almost exclusively votes not on party lines, but racial lines, so whatever race is the largest demo in Chicago, will have their mayor. Chicago as a result, is getting worse and worse than even places like NYC and LA. So much so that the black population has finally realized one problem the right has been banging on about, immigration. The black population is FED UP with the amount of immigrants coming in, which could finally open a door for people to start talking to them on how they can vote different, not even necessarily Republican, just someone else.
And also Because of culture many Asian and Latino cultures are Conservative
as it should, I hope immigrants with good morals and standard could influence the majority.
Dear Nick;
I have been a Republican Election official since 2005. And voting and being Republican seems so lonely.
I hope more shift.
I love Philadelphia, but I hate who run it.
Sincerely in Xto

A lot of wishful thinking. Voters continue to elect far left mayors and common councils in cities like Chicago, (Lori Lightfoot to Brandon Johnson), New York (Bill de Blasio to Eric Adams) Los Angeles ( to Karen Bass) Portland and Seattle have made no signs of moving to the right either the mayor or DA's. You'd think Chicago would have moved noticeably to the right after Lightfoot's debacle but it doesn't show with Johnson. Of course, the democrats are the ones counting the votes so it's entirely possible that they will continue to get the results they desire.
Mayor hold little power.
It's the governor that swings the axe. I think there was one recently where a few states flipped governors despite being in a opposite party color state
I think people everywhere are starting to realize that, while these utopian ideals sound nice, they are impossible to implement realistically. And all the attempts that have been made to do so have been disasters. Once something starts to effect someone on a very real, very personal level they might have to reevaluate all that idealistic thinking
Both communism and socialism sound nice on paper but have failed everywhere.
Most of these collectives use capitalist GDP to fund their socialist dreams, but in reality, they'd have socialist GDP to fund their socialist nightmare.
Could be like Biden is the void between two massive Trump terms.
because the right is the right
I know this is specifically about cities but I believe the other anomaly is that due to the failing economy as well as inflation, formerly single income families in the suburbs have been forced into both parents working which removes daily liberal talk shows that shame people into certain beliefs!!!
The one common thread of differentiation that will start emerging will not be geographical location, but answering the following question: Did these voters attend university, especially directly on campus?
Yeah, even Seattle had a shift toward the right last election term.
I would think some if it is also the ones in heavy blue areas finally evacuating and moving to more purple zones and seeing the same things they just escaped from being proposed and are like HELL NO
Usually they vote the same as they were in the city. Their only reason for fleeing is to find cheap land and cheap rent. Their politics and opinions tend to be identical.
Would be good to see data from areas where the shift is different or hasn’t trended. Not saying the video is wrong, it would be nice to see the full picture
I live in Lansing, Michigan, and it is terrible. You can't even use your truck to move a camper to the backyard, the only place besides your driveway you can put it. God send us someone to send things the right way. In Jesus name Amen.
This video is the very thing it accuse the mainstream off. Biden and Obama are two very different candidate with two complete different approach. You will see even more redshift in cities for 2024, because Biden’s base come from Democratic suburb. He’s most left leaning on labour laws, which most city ppl care very little about
Let me guess,high tax and crime.
and gays also
Im in Atlanta. Am not feeling the red shift so Im outta here next year.
Those gains are more an aberration than a long term shift. These cities mentioned are permanently dystopian, full of voters looking for more entitlements. Personal responsibility and self sufficiency are not something that sells there ..
Honestly, one thing that needs to be addressed in this arguement is candidate quality. I'm no fan of Obama, but he was definitely a more exciting candidate than Hillary or Biden.
he still bombed those middleeastern children... if only the left heard about what obama did today considering his views on palestine.
Curious what your take on gerrymandering is?
It’s fairly silly to assume that because people in one area predominantly voted for the Republican candidate that somehow it has become more conservative. People will vote for whatever presidential candidate they feel may do a better job on national issues, but that does not mean their personal ideologies have changed. Just because Kentucky voted in a Democrat governor doesn’t mean the people of Kentucky in their majority are liberal. Very bad assessment
Because people are waking up 👀
Simply they are getting the results of the policies they voted for and thought they wanted, now, they are very painfully slowly realizing "..wow those were all really dumb ideas".
A good reminder that races and cultures aren't tied to voting blocks.
Cool so go live in a black neighborhood than and let us know how that works out for you
?????@@floop5536
Even a point or two could shift Michigan and Georgia. A decent shift could shift New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Island. I bug shift could flip New York and Illinois
I did not click on this video for the video, I clicked it for the comment wars.
Living with liberal policy makes people understand better.
seems like the national IQ is rising.
Just look at it as Good VS EVIL, do I really need to tell everbody which side is good and which side is evil? You all know!
Truth.
As a republican myself, It’s not a trend, it’s because Obama was a much better candidate than Hillary and Biden. Also Trump was a better candidate than Romney. If an Obama quality candidate ran as a democrat the numbers would shift right back to where they were in 2012.
Not even American but maybe there is some hope for the world
Calling it government mismanagement when they know exactly what they're doing is ludicrous.
You won't convince me they're causing these problems on accident.
"Gradually, I began to hate them..."
just note that more conservative doesnt mean conservative. joe manchin is more conservative than bernie sanders…. best we can say is, “progress; still a long way to go”
I guess that the choice of Trump vs all the illegals they have to pay for, may have a lot to do with it. Trump is about attitude. Biden is about having to deal with illegals and all their shortcomings, and the net effect of other liberalism.
The Democratic powerhouses in these big cities are setting their Cities on fire through active bad management, purposefully done so. People happening to notice this are getting fed up with it as they realize that this is being Engineered as opposed to Fought. u.u
“Vote with there feet”
Don’t vote for what you ran from
Being a sanctuary city no longer seems to benefit constituents....
A handful of city dwellers waking up and using their brains is interesting
He factually listed the issue as to why people are swinging
We have enough laws…nothing is getting down and working people are exhausted now after three generations
CONSERVATIVES AND LIBERALS WILL GO DOWN.
cope
Eh, I think it's important not to conflate Obama's immense personal popularity with the popularity of liberal policies overall. For one thing, remember that Barack Obama won his primary contest against Hillary Clinton by running to her *right*. In 2012, he didn't face a primary challenge. Also, Joe Biden, who the GOP seem to want to call the "most liberal president ever" also ran to the right of every other candidate in the 2020 Democratic Primary.
Obama's margin of victory in 2008 was 7.27% That's a margin of popularity which hasn't been seen since 1996, in Bill Clinton's re-election bid. Donald Trump, by contrast, is the least popular President since 1876, and by far the consistently lowest in terms of approval rating since polling has been done. So, yeah, a lot of people turned out to vote for Barack Obama. Hell, by your own numbers, Republicans just didn't even *show up* for Mitt Romney, at least not in Brooklyn.
My point is not necessarily that your thesis is incorrect, but that most of the gains or loses vote margin is undecided voters who are swayed by personal charisma and the appeal they see in a particular candidate's pitch. If you really want to see where the demographic and fundamental party preference shifts are happening, you need to look at less publicized election results which intermittent voters don't show up for. Mayor. City Council. Attorney General. Because those are the guys who will be contending for Congress and the Senate in a couple of terms, and maybe one day, President.
Remember, Obama didn't start out as President, he was elected to the Illinois Senate, served for 7 years, and then won the 2004 Democratic Primary in a shocking landslide, turning him into an overnight sensation, whch got him his keynote address to the Democratic National Convention, which got him the national exposure to contest Hillary Clinton just four years later.
Damn, another "expert" from the internet.
Well, polls and research suggest that theres really a shift happening. Even look at it in the 2022 midterm.
Donald Trump least popular president since 1876? What kind of crack or propaganda youre taking? Even more least popular than Carter or any horrible president out there?
@@yukihirasouma4691 I'm not an expert. I was just there and apying attention. What'ss your excuse?
It's a shift but an insignificant one.
Cities like Miami have had conservative base for a while. You still see homeless and poverty in South Florida. Homeless camps in the forests and swamps are growing. The state government will do little about it, even when it is exposed in the media. Red states like Florida are also plagued with the same issues as blue states. The approach by both camps is the same. Do nothing about it. Don't solve the issue.
no ron desantis did many things and the people tend to believe him more, as he is at least percieved like a humble and hardworking man
Hey Nick. Thank you for your service in and out of the military. I hope you read the comments and see how screwed up and butt hurt some of the commenters are. Keep up the good work.
I think they just need some Preparation H and a Mydol.
i'd rather be right
