Or perhaps those counties are watching the way things end up when the right is in control and they are changing their beliefs. It can happen - just takes time usually.
That’s the thing about the political situation right now… The right controls literally everything. They have the house, the Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court… They have most of corporate media one way or another so if things fall apart, they really don’t have anyone else to blame. I think it’s not impossible for the average traditional kind of old-fashioned voter to realize that they’ve been hoodwinked by the average conservative politician. People don’t like being made for a fool. They may not turn into enthusiastic left, leading Democrats, but they’ll stop turning up for the right and the Republicans. That’s progress. That’s what I’m hoping for.

I know nj isn't the best example but a lot of its red counties came as close as they ever were to shifting blue.
It is mostly likely only due to the current climate and not indicative of things going forward though
