    Being a red state doesn’t guarantee a Trump win though. In the last election he assumed Georgia would put him over the top because they are historically a red state but they actually ended up swinging over to blue by a small majority.

    There was a huge controversy around it because Trump called up people there and told them to tamper with the numbers to let him win anyway

    The Republican party is counting on the idea that people forget these things quickly lol

      OK, but OP mentioned a Red state specifically. They want a more nuanced answer than “vote blue just in case”.

      Assume a state so red, Trump loving and Biden hating that there is no possibility of a blue win. Is voting Biden in that particular state still the best strategy for the future of the USA?

        There is never no possibility. Florida is considered a red state up there with texas and gore lost to it from a florida court decision on hanging chads.

          Florida wasn’t a red state, more democrats have won than Republicans in Florida. It’s the past few years thing that the racism is taking hold quickly.

            that just shows a state can change and it can change at any time. enough folks could get fed up that with your vote the outcome is different. Politics is like the stock market. You can use historical trends to guess at the future but historical trends do not always indicate future behaviour.
