Why parts of Pennsylvania turned Red in 2021.

Is this the sign of the times?

Most people especially Progressives haven’t noticed, but a red wave is hitting Pennsylvania. Yes my friends. The left took a beating in a state where it supposedly flipped to Joe. Here’s some facts that are very easy to check out. This from Salina Zito.

For the first time in Westmoreland County history, no Democrat was elected to a countywide office seat in the November 2021 off-year elections. Not only did Republicans sweep all of the row office races here, they also won the district attorney and coroner races, ousting longtime officeholders that many in the community respected.

“They won a statewide Supreme Court seat and other judicial races, but they also won seats outside of the more conservative west in the Philadelphia suburbs in county government and for township supervisors, seats they had lost during the Trump years,” said G. Terry Madonna, a political science professor at Millersville University and a frequent commentator on Pennsylvania politics.

It turns out this wasn’t an outlier. A full year's look by Gallup at political preferences in 2021 shows that they have undergone a dramatic shift away from the Democratic Party. Whereas a 9 percentage-point plurality perceived themselves as Democratic one year ago, Republicans had surged to a 5-point edge by the fourth quarter of 2021.

Both the 9-point Democratic advantage in the first quarter and the 5-point Republican edge in the fourth quarter are among the largest Gallup has measured for each party in any quarter since it began regularly measuring party identification and leaning in 1991.

Youngstown State University professor Paul Sracic said it is pretty unprecedented for a party to fall this far from grace in just one year. “This big party shift just doesn’t ever happen, and these numbers are just stunning.”

So yes my friends we are seeing how the left is taking a beating. And we’re seeing more and more Blacks and Latinos hopping on the red train to prosperity.
