That's the point, the liberals escape the effects of their supported policies. They then support the same policies that fricked up their last state after moving to a healthy host. They are a malignant virus, and are oblivious to the cause and effect.

One client couple said that taxes, cost of living, regulation, etc "don't have anything to do with politics."

I'm telling you they are completely oblivious.

In North Carolina, most people moving here are from Long Island/Upstate NY and Ohio. They are pretty much republicans as well.

It is "turning purple" but it can go either way.

We get a lot of libs from California but also a lot of people who want to keep Arizona, Arizona. At the moment, I see more of the latter.

Being born and raised in WV, I figured it was up there in population decline. That's why I said for Cali it was a drop in the bucket when you consider how many people live there.


The state is also declining in population.



>According to population estimates released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau, 50 of West Virginia’s 55 counties lost population between 2017 and 2018.

>As of July 1, 2018, West Virginia’s total population was 1,805,832 people, which is 11,216 less than the year before. The Mountain State has reported a loss in population five years in a row, becoming the fastest-shrinking of any state in the nation, relative to population size.

Interesting map showing recent net domestic migration rates. Some pretty obvious regional trends here.

And sorry but man do Louisiana and Mississippi really stick out in the south.

No. It's worse than that. They're moving to the nice places in the south and destroying the business climate and culture with their liberal tax policies and government regulation

It’s so true. I heard a woman at HEB complaining the other day that we don’t have more recycling options and then she blamed it Texas not having income taxes. GTFO!

This is the biggest undiscussed difference between liberals and conservatives that I've seen in my day-to-day life.

Liberals tend to have a very, very poor understanding of the interaction between government and business/economics. In their minds, governments reach is limited to the social. When you think about it that way, it makes sense that most liberals are socialist even if they don't realize it themselves.

Another thing I've noticed about liberals and maybe it's just the ones I've known in my life, they are all, I mean every one of them, terrible with finances. Some of them may have a lot of money because they make a lot of money but every single one of them lives paycheck-to-paycheck and has a very poor understanding or control of their personal spending. Just another reason why I think they lean socialist. They need the safety net because they know they're terrible with money and they don't trust themselves to take care of themselves and they assume everybody else is just like them and this is where you get the 'community effort' mentality. Insecurity and fear for themselves and the greater society around them.

Louisiana and Mississippi don't have enough white collar jobs to keep a majority of their graduates in state.

Both are in the "nice to visit, but I don't want to live there" category. I lived in Louisiana for 33 years and moved to Seattle 5 years ago. One of the best decisions I have ever made.

Lived in CA through college, then AZ and NM before LA and no place beats the PNW!

There are no liberals, they're all progressive authoritarians now. They're like locusts and destroy everything they touch.

It’s way more likely that the people leaving the liberal states are conservatives as they would be more willing to move to a red state.


While that is no doubt happening, liberals do not like being taxed any more than conservatives do. It's just that they are perfectly willing to tax others to try to create their utopian society. Once that fails, they just move elsewhere and try it all over again because their shoddy understanding of economics and human behavior doesn't equate to reality.
