Atlanta Political Reporter: Some Republicans Might Stay Home For The Georgia Runoff Election

Yeah, it looks like Georgia had about 3,000 Republican deaths from the November 3rd elections and Thanksgiving. And as many as a thousand Democratic deaths.

[@ATLcentury334]

One thing that I’ve not heard brought up here in GA is how much the demographic has changed in the last several years. My husband and I moved to ATL from DTW 16 years ago. We were aware that ATL was the gay capitol of the south, but still kept a low profile until my husband was well established in his new career. We noticed a huge influx of non Georgians living in our new neighborhood, 4 different households, all from DTW as well, on one street of a new subdivision where we were renting a new house. After 7 years we felt it was time to buy our own home, and move closer to the city. Our new neighbors were very welcoming, but we still kept quiet, although we did get many admiring complements about how happy everyone was how we improved our new home. One neighbor was happy because our higher bid on our home, resulted in the comps in the area looking more attractive. But the surprising statistic we’ve learned in the last few years is eye opening. In the last several years 70,000+ new residents are moving to the metro area every year, and they expect the number to increase. Not all of these voters are Republican. And that has to dramatically change the makeup of the electorate here.

He has no loyalty to anyone and probably thinks why should he care if the dems control Congress cuz he’ll be gone anyway, although he’s so stupid that he probably wouldn’t even realize that that could actually be pretty problematic for him as well as they will have unfettered subpoena and investigative power.
