This is simply wrong.

Your links all clearly indicate CA had a population loss for the first time ever in the year 2020. Not for the entire decade. CA lost a seat because growth slowed, not went negative.

Not only did it not lose population, its not even one of the five slowest-growing states.

“The five states with the slowest population growth, all under 2.5%, were: Connecticut, Michigan, Ohio, Wyoming, and Pennsylvania.”

I was waiting for one of these responses to arrive. And just like clockwork... So let's dig in: >>the 4th of July supposedly celebrates independence for only part of the population >Umm yeah, that declaration was for land owning, white men. Native Americans didn't get theirs until 1965. We celebrated it but we knew it wasn't "for us" Using this illogic, you shouldn't celebrate or support the Democratic party, they're…

> you shouldn't celebrate or support the Democratic party, they're the party of slavery, secession, Jim Crow, and segregation Well up to 1964 the majority of black voters were registered Republicans.

You're so close to getting it, almost there! This is /r/selfawarewolves level stuff.

>You’re under the impression there were 2 political parties.

It's not an impression, it's an objective fact. "Southern Democrats" we're not a separate party. LBJ, Carter, Clinton, Gore, etc. are Southern Democrats. Were they in a separate party? No.

>Those southern democrats (Dixiecrats) left the Democratic Party and became southern Republicans.

Hilariously wrong. Dixiecrats were a party for less than a year, and merged back into the Democratic Party

>So, the party of Jim Crow is now Republican.

Wrong, it was, and is, the Democratic Party.

You need to pick up a history book, you're hilariously just delusionally inventing things that make you feel good because you're uneducated.

I lived in Limburg for a few years near Sittard. My daughter was even born there. I noticed her Dutch birth certificate doesn’t include race like US birth certificates. Kinda tells me race and Whiteness is a US construct.

Racism doesn't need the validity of a birth certificate to exist. My birth certificate doesn't list if I'm gay, straight, or bi. Doesn't mean the LGBTQ community isn't discriminated, attacked, and sometimes killed for simply existing. The Dutch knowing nothing of racism is super fucking rich. Read your own history books.

Didn’t say the Dutch weren’t racist. Never understood the Zwarte Piet nonsense. Putting race on US Birth Certificates was a systemic racism before Jim Crow and still exists.
