So the population of Saginaw, Michigan has declined by 50% since 1980 and the town went from a Democratic stronghold to being solidly GOP.

What does that tell us about the nature of those who stayed vs those who left?

My home town of Gary, Indiana also lost about a third of its population since I left.

So did my hometown, Ambridge PA. Now solidly for Jesus, Guns and the GOP…never mind that it’s degenerated to being a bunch of crack houses…

As Simon and Garfunkel sang, “Nothing but the dead are dying back in my little town…”
