It's 2026, Asshole

Correct.

And MID YEAR CENSUS is showing MORE BLUE STATE SEATS are going to DISAPPEAR in those States and SENT TO RED STATES!!

Sucks, huh??

Based on 2025–2026 census projections, Democratic-leaning "blue states" are projected to lose multiple House seats following the 2030 census due to population decline, with trends favoring a continued shift toward Republican "red states" through 2050. California and New York face the largest losses, projected to lose a combined six seats by 2030. 
Key Projected Seat Losses (Post-2030 Census):

• California: Projected to lose 4 seats.
• New York: Projected to lose 2-3 seats.
• Illinois: Projected to lose 1-2 seats.
• Other Potential Losers: Oregon, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin are all projected to lose one seat each.

Shifting Power Dynamics:

• Sun Belt Growth: Texas and Florida are projected to gain a combined 7-8 seats, solidifying their power in the House and Electoral College.
• Other Gainers: Arizona, Idaho, Utah, and North Carolina are forecasted to gain seats.
• Long-Term Trend: The South is projected to have a record 164 seats in the House next decade, reversing the regional balance of power from the mid-20th century. 

These projections are based on residents fleeing high-cost, high-tax, or heavily regulated states, a trend that analysts suggest could challenge the Democratic Party's path to the White House
