That was a bad time for everyone. I understood they were upset and angry they lost their livelihood and most of what they owned, but they moved to the Atlanta area and they were just rude. A serious 90% I met. I owned a printing company back then and they came here looking to start businesses which really would have help my business, but dealing with them was very difficult, and I met A Lot of them.I’m glad those days are over and I’m happy to be retired.

As for Orange County, according to Wikipedia, it's growth as slowed dramatically from what it was 40-50 years ago, but it is still growing - increasing almost 6% from 2010 to 2020. My parents still live there. When I hear people everyone is leaving California, I point to housing costs - if everyone was leaving, you would see housing prices plummet.

San Francisco is actually the financial hub of the west coast. People are leaving it in droves. Silicon Valley is not San Francisco. Silicon Valley is mostly in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties with some spillover into southern Alameda county. Alameda county also has some manufacturing, but it's high tech manufacturing. People are also leaving far northern California (north of the Bay Area and Sacramento). The main industry used to be logging, now it's mostly growing pot and collecting unemployment. I have never seen such an economically dead city as Redding (though I admit I have not visited Rust Belt cities). California can't get any further to the left, and the pendulum is beginning to swing back to the right. Republicans are gaining House seats in 2020 in California, as they have throughout the rest of the USA. Orange County is very distinct from Los Angeles. It's economy is based on tourism and secondarily on research and development, not manufacturing. Its usually a Republican stronghold, whereas Los Angeles is heavily Demonrat. San Diego has a Republican mayor and the northern half of the county (adjoining Orange County) also tends to be Republican. San Diego is heavily influenced by a strong Navy and Marine presence and also a large tourism industry. It also needs to be noted that Silicon Valley has pretty much reached the limits of its growth during the current economic cycle. Companies have been off-loading to other areas for quite a while. Oregon became a secondary high tech area when Intel moved some of its facilities up there. Tesla chose to build in Nevada because it was too impractical to build a big plant in Fremont. Currently Austin TX is catching a lot of overflow, including another Tesla facility.

Sure, but that was not the entire purpose behind the EC. The EC was also implemented because people generally had 0 clue about who presidential candidates were unless the candidate was from the voters own state, so they introduced an elector system so that voters could 'trust' the electors picked the candidate that best aligned with the views of the voters. This was literally due to the assumption of ignorance of the masses. Nowadays everyone can find out the entire life history of a presidential candidate before they are even nominated by their party to be the presidential nominee and what their views are. I would argue that the publics ease of access to this type of information in the 21st century makes the EC system obsolete. It would be more democratic for us to abolish the EC, which I think would also have the benefit of an overwhelming increase in voter turnout (particularly in states that are not battlegrounds), and I think all sides *should* hopefully agree a higher percentage of eligible voters actually voting is always preferable.

No rallies, no candidate visits, no media interviews in your state -- nothing to address what your interests might be. And then they guilt you into voting as if they care whether you exist or not.

@@joer8035 Perhaps, but the EC was also intended to preserve State Sovereignty and federalism. As I understand it, the EC was mostly a compromise between having Congress elect the President and having each State Governor cast a vote. They rejected Congressional election because of Separation of powers, and they decided against gubernatorial election because they believed Governors would 1) not be knowledgeable enough about national issues and 2) that a single vote cast per state from a single executive would not be representative enough. Thus they settled on the Electoral College system. I would argue that if we get rid of the EC, we would be getting rid of one of the last true semblances of federalism and State Sovereignty in the United States. Should it be reformed? Probably. But to just completely do away with it would be very unwise imo.

@joer8035

@@lukeporras1288 Yes, the EC was a compromise given the state the 'country' was in at the point. The articles of confederation were not actually a bad system of government, the problem that led to getting rid of that form of government were mostly trade and currency issues between states. My point is, those issues do not exist anymore. We have a centralized currency, we have a mass education system in place(albeit not that great), and resources for citizens to be informed on who the presidential candidate is, their political history, and what their platform is. You mention getting rid of the EC would be getting rid of one of that last true semblances of federalism and state sovereignty. I'm not so sure I agree. In fact I would argue getting rid of the EC would improve state sovereignty, given that fact that someone who lives in remote Alaska has more voting power (which directly translates to how social policies will play out given who is elected), over someone who lives in NYC or LA. An Alaskan citizen has 239.22 voting weight compared to a Californian citizens 1.80 weight (for presidential elections). Therefore, the EC seems to actually do diminish state sovereignty as the entire concept is that all states should be equal. I'd be interested to hear more reasoning on why exactly it would be unwise to get rid of the EC in your opinion? Do you think the negative implications outweigh the positive outcome of higher voter turnout in all states? Campaigning would certainly be different, and I doubt the focus would be on the same handful of states every election cycle.

Great insight. I didn’t know a lot of this because of my news sources.

I’ve been a realtor for a long time. People tend to stay relatively close to where they born unless a job opportunity comes up. That’s pretty much the main reason people move. The only other trend out there is leaving suburbs for the closest rural area to their work so people can have more outside space, but still relatively close to where they were born. I’ve had a lot of clients lately doing this wanting to start a “homestead” and have food gardens and the like. It’s still 90% job related though, but there is a trend of people just tapping out on city life.

I'd love it if you updated this video now Nov, 21, and do the same analysis for Virginia on a county level. Plus, you say manufacturing leans conservative, yet in the past it leaned democrat as they supported unions, what changed there? And also you noted how people are moving from rural to urban areas but you didn't overlay which way those areas voted. That is the surprising map as urban areas go liberal and rural conservative, and yes its about jobs but I think it is more.

It's a map that I made based off of voting trends over the most recent presidential elections at the national level. NY and KS are probably the most surprising/questionable. The percentage of the vote for Republicans in NY has been trending up since 1996. Obviously it's not going to flip anytime soon but it is a slight shift to the right. KS has seen a slow move to the left since 1992. Certainly not every election has seen each state trend more and more to the other direction but with Trump in NY and Biden in KS both hitting 41% that's pretty high. Obama outperformed in 2008 and Bush outperformed in 2004 for both but there still have been slight shifts. Other states the shift is more obvious.

I like the Skyline Chilli you slipped in there lol

I really enjoy your videos. You do an amazing job making the facts clear without the BS.

Came into this video ready to debate it, but honestly this whole analysis is spot-on and brings up tons of things I never even considered. Well done, I'll be sharing this with both my liberal and conservative friends!

The number one issue most people care about in elections is the economy. Looking at politics from that perspective and where the economy is changing the most gives a greater understanding of why elections turn out the way they do. Great analysis!

You should be political/demographic scientist man.

I’m thinking of doing a New England road trip next spring. Any chance of a tips/analysis video for visiting that area of the US??

Love the ad for 2022 CA gubernatorial advice. Well done!

This video was incredible. Thank you!

That Virginia statement didn’t age well

not really, gubernatorial politics don't have much to do with presidential politics, like massachussetts has a republican governor but it's a solid democrat state.

Great analysis! The most intelligent I've seen on this issue since ... I don't know when!

Clicked on the video for the content. Subscribed to the channel because of that Cameo album in the back.

I'm in high tech in Seattle. You didn't even touch on what my colleagues and I are discussing--if we're working from home, we can move anywhere.

Great point. If it keeps going this way political geography will be unpredictable, unlike what he discussed in the last part.

Have a friend that lives there now and is going to do the same thing. Going to work remotely and now he’s trying to choose where he wants to live next. Think that’s going to become a major factor in the next 5-10 years post-pandemic when people begin working from home more and wonder if that shifts demographics as well

Me too, but that trend hasn't quite started yet. As soon as covid deaths and restrictions go away though...

Dude's a big fan of Cincinnati chili. It was in his "Best regional foods" video.

Another winner from Kyle. Love it.

Great job at being impartial! Great video! I love geography!

This is a really great perspective. Love it. I don't buy the right or left wing wako talk on the news outlets. Thanks and keep doing what you do.
