Take heart the trend is moving in the right direction: Red States that have turned Blue

  I know that many Democrats today are discouraged that Trump still can get the votes that make the 2020 election so close.  We were expecting a better election night. Don't lose the fact that the United States is moving in a progressive direction.  In the past 20 years here is what is happening to our electorate.

 2000 Presidential election results                   2020 Presidential election results

Virginia-Republican                                        Virginia-----Democrat

Colorado-Republican                                       Colorado---Democrat

Nevada-Republican                                         Nevada------Democrat

New Hampshire-Republican                           New Hampshire---Democrat

      Remember when California was a dependable Red state up through 1988? How about Maryland going Red in 1988 too and its Congressional delegation being split 4 Democrats and 4 Republicans?

     Finally, with Atlanta growing so fast Georgia is becoming a purple state.  Growth in the Phoenix area has already turned Arizona from red to purple to now probably a dependable blue state.  Arizona that once had Barry Goldwater as a senator now will have 2 Democrat senators.  Growth in the Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio has moved Texas closer to become a purple state.  Much of this growth in cities is because of the movement of young people to these cities.
