The Institute for Family Studies is talking about this.

Looks like red states are seeing population growth in young families and children post-COVID, while blue states are losing them due to high costs and migration.

It looks like compared to 2019, the 20 states that voted most for Kamala Harris saw declines in their people in their 20s and kids under 18.

Red states saw growth among millennials in their 30s.

So I guess my take on this is that, you know, we're all focused on the short term all the time, which is fine.

I mean, you know, we're kind of fighting the battles of today, like the midterms that are coming up, and certainly we should be focused on that.

But I think longer term, the trend seems to be going positive.

It seems to be going in the Republican direction.

So don't lose sight of that.

You know, we all know that there's all sorts of rigging going on with the census and there was a story I saw recently about that where it looks like one person was responsible for kind of rigging the census to give a whole bunch of seats to Democrats they shouldn't have gotten based on illegal immigrants and things like that.

That he rigged the algorithm of the census to totally change the result in terms of the electoral counts and things.

I think everything is moving in our direction longer term and there's another census coming up in 2030 and all the projections are that it's going to shift way red at that point.

And it looks like the trend is even longer term than that with these babies that we're going to have a lot more kids coming up the ranks in Republican families and a lot less in blue families.

So, um, it seems like a real positive trend to me.

What do you guys think?

I mean, I do think a big part of it is just, do you have a positive outlook about the future or do you have a negative outlook about the future?

And that can be financial in terms of, do I think I'm going to be able to have a good job going forward?

Do I think my income is going to go up?

Do I think I'm going to be able to afford things?

But it also is just, you know, do I feel good about the future?
