The sun shined really bright on my way to school the next morning. (Kinda gay but true)

2018-06-19 14:51:18 UTC  

Wisconsin always was blue in polling, even in RCP which had New Mexico as grayish

2018-06-19 14:51:40 UTC  

So when it went for Trump, my God man

2018-06-19 14:52:06 UTC  

Jesus

2018-06-19 14:52:54 UTC  

Link order: Penn., Michigan, Wisconsin

2018-06-19 14:53:03 UTC  

Those are the polls of the 2016 election

2018-06-19 14:53:28 UTC  

Probably thought the Obama effect would carry over

2018-06-19 14:53:46 UTC  

North Carolina

2018-06-19 14:54:01 UTC  

Master List:

2018-06-19 14:56:03 UTC  

But yeah I think they thought the amount of women that would vote Clinton would mirror the amount of blacks that voted Obama

2018-06-19 14:56:10 UTC  

But the shift was relatively minimal

2018-06-19 14:56:12 UTC  

It's really interesting seeing the shift of swing states, where some states become more safe R/D and others drift into swing territory.

2018-06-19 14:56:25 UTC  

Political polarization

2018-06-19 14:56:45 UTC  

@FLanon I'm actually working on a video rn about 2016 Election Voter Demographics, where I'll break down who voted for who, turnout rates, and so on.

2018-06-19 14:56:53 UTC  

We're never going to see a 1964, 1972, or 1984 ever again.

2018-06-19 14:57:04 UTC  

Black turnout dropped significantly.

2018-06-19 14:57:40 UTC  

Hey, you never know. You say that, but people seriously thought Trump winning would not happen either.

2018-06-19 14:58:06 UTC  

I don't see it happening

2018-06-19 14:58:16 UTC  

It's just political polarization

2018-06-19 14:58:34 UTC  

People are going to go pretty hard on party line now

2018-06-19 14:59:00 UTC  

There'd have to be a 3rd party that would split one of the party's vote, allowing the other main party to win the plurality. Aka Ross Perot situation

2018-06-19 14:59:18 UTC  

Yeah, that's the only way I see it happening

2018-06-19 14:59:34 UTC  

Ideologically, there's not going to be a Reagan Democrats situation again.

2018-06-19 14:59:58 UTC  

The difference is nearly diametric at this point

2018-06-19 15:00:06 UTC  

I was a Trump fan but I didn't see Trump winning to be honest, I was really surprised when he won

2018-06-19 15:00:15 UTC  

Me neither

2018-06-19 15:00:32 UTC  

I thought this nation could never elect a man like him again

2018-06-19 15:00:42 UTC  

I was hoping on holding Nevada, which would have edged Trump out. Penn. Michigan, and Wisconsin were not on my radar for flipping.

2018-06-19 15:01:24 UTC  

Well, I'll retcon what I said actually, there *is* going to be a sort of Reagan Democrats situation in the rust belt white working class voting for Rs as the dems abandon whites for minority votes.

2018-06-19 15:01:40 UTC  

6 hours until the decision

2018-06-19 15:01:50 UTC  

But they'll just be straight up right wing and not just moderates at that point

2018-06-19 15:01:50 UTC  

What decision?

2018-06-19 15:01:58 UTC  

The immigration bill

2018-06-19 15:02:03 UTC  

It's Big

2018-06-19 15:02:08 UTC  

Trump's having an address to Congress

2018-06-19 15:02:42 UTC  

Yeah Trump Democrats will emerge out of the Rust Belt, in Minnesota. Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
