The red shift

is real. Note that not a single county in the whole country shifted from Republican to Democrat. Not a one.

So what does this tell you? It tells you the direction this country is moving. Some of you will be left behind. And that because you are too dang rigid to change.

As we have covered here in several different ways, the Trump victory is impressive in its uni-directionality. It turns out that Harris is the first presidential candidate since Herbert Hoover in 1932  who didn’t shift a single county in the country in her party’s direction from the previous election. A unidirectional loss like that may not be a statistical landslide, but as argued previously here, it is at least an earthquake.

ADDENDUM: It IS a cultural and electoral landslide. Though perhaps a little less of a statistical one. A little.
