I didn’t say it did. But it can’t happen everywhere either. A unique blend of demographic changes and a long-term, serious, political organizing campaign are a powerful blend, but exactly how long do you think we have to turn this country around, even if every state had an influx of educated professionals like Georgia did? I know the stability of institutions has a powerful pull, but ours are failing, and we have impending crises on multiple fronts that they are incapable of handling. We need to make other plans. Vote, too, if you like. Just don’t count on it to save us.
