I mean, once you're past Cobb and north Fulton to the north, and down by McDonough or so to the south, you're back in red country all the way until Savannah. Yes, there's a "people vote, not land" thing in play there, but we're purple _in aggregate_, and even then only barely.
I wish this weren't the case, but I think it's less due to a blue shift and more indicative of the factional split between the Kemp (or older, Deal) type of Republicans who just vote for the good ol' boys they recognize and the MAGA wing (that has eaten the whole party in most of the country), with a sprinkling of confused "middle of the red" Repubs who don't think they can trust voting anymore at all.
I'll take the effect it has, sure, but I don't think we get to hang a "Mission Accomplished" banner until more than 10 years out.
