A little known fact about Virginia's race last night that some people seem to want to ignore.

43. Well, but. . .

Again, what difference does it make? If politics are changing because of a change in population, then social change can and is likely to happen for the same reasons. An increase in the number of left voting people corresponds to an increase in people with liberal ideals. I don't see the difference.

Most old right wingers won't change. But, they will die out. In their place there are more and more people who hold different ideas. Young people with more education and exposure to different cultures. Immigrants who are tired of being unfairly treated by the GOP. Women who will fight back against the war being waged on them. Non-christians who are sick of the "Christian nation" mantra in a country of constitutional secularism. Poor people who know their biggest problem is not that they have too much money and get too many freebies.

The social change will happen with the political change.
