In the early 2000s the Ds were so enamored by age and race demographic projections that they entirely ignored geographic projections. The last two rounds of the US Census were a very rude awakening for them.
2030 is looking like a cliff for them. End of the Blue Wall.
And the outright fraud in the 2020 Census (the RI sampling disaster) likely means that SCOTUS will be killing census sampling for the 2030 census. Combined with population shift projections that get worse month over month for Blue states, the outcome looks ugly for Ds.
Can't win playing by the rules, don't play by the rules. Importing as many warm bodies (citizens or not) and rely on SCOTUS to maintain counting heads and not citizens.
Even the Brennan Center (as lefty left as it gets) projections are sheer disaster for Ds.
Ds are Drowning Man Flailing. They will try anything to avoid obsolescence.
