I see this posted here a lot on this board. Liberals leaving California, Illinois, New York, etc and going to more conservative states like Texas or Florida.

I can only think of one reverse example of this and that's the [link=(Free State Project)]https://www.fsp.org/[/link].


Is it the consensus of the board that as the liberal states collapse, that the rest of the country will eventually turn blue or purple as those idiots escape their idiotic policies and bring those same polices with them?

Well, the Yankees that moved from NY taxes and high cost of living vote for politicians that want higher taxes and policies that lead to higher cost of livings so....

That's exactly what's happening. See: Atlanta, Austin, Denver, Charlotte, Raleigh, NOVA, etc....

Well hopefully they’re smart enough to see their ways were wrong. And they’ll now vote for the best candidate instead of straight dem.

Ding ding ding. Lot of people here in NY that are fed up are mostly conservatives, we're in the minority (especially given NYC) so easiest solution is to just leave the high tax state and take our $$ elsewhere

They love the policies, hate the cost.

Some of them aren't, though.

And it's amazing that the ones that aren't can't connect the dots between the results of the policies they are fleeing and the same policies applied elsewhere.

I'm sure they just think those policies didn't work because the 1% didn't pay their fair share or some similar horseshite.

In Florida every winter, you would get run into by the grocery cart of the little old lady talking to her best friend, griping about how things were better in Michigan. The third time was enough. I turned and asked.

"Permanent resident?"
"No, here for the winter."
"Good, until you get over being rude and until you realize that none of us care about how great things are in Michigan. Go back home at Easter, but leave all of your money behind like a good little snowbird."
The clerk and people in front and back of me were laughing ....

Since liberal politics have zero to do with logic, reality and basic human instincts and nature why would these fruit cakes suddenly change. You don't get a brain transplant when you hit the Florida line. And Florida, due largely to past runaways is already populated by "Florida Man" and "Florida Woman" and from about Ocala south is a borderline insane asylum is some areas. Outside the panhandle and some south Georgia line jumpers plus the conservative and hard working and solid as a rock Cubans it is a zoo already.

Not true.

Florida was a red state. They voted for Obama twice.

Yankee Liberals and foreigners are responsible.

That’s not why red states are turning blue. Demographic change is the real reason

As these idiots flee liberal states, we need to constantly remind them why they had to leave. Do it in a passive aggressive manner, but do it. Just like a dog that shits in the house, you need to rub their nose in it so they don’t commit the same mistake twice.

i have spoken with multiple real estate agents in texas. the cali expats are almost all conservatives. ditto nashville. ditto idaho. good people tired of cali lunacy

having said that, every state has been raising a few generations of snowflakes hence all the tds amongst young people. so the problem is brewing from within.

This is why all the conservatives and moderates in California that are able need to move out while they can and go to states like Texas, Florida, Georgia to help offset the political balance and keep those states red or at least pink.

I know a few who have fled, but only one who didn't learn their lesson.

The limp wrists and Karens have flooded into Nashville and has started to elect more “progressive” leaders.

Ask some small business owners in Nashville what they think of the gigantic property tax hike that is in process there.

Undoubtedly some of the affected limp wrists may have a tatoo parlor, head shop, or vegan BBQ place that will go under and they will have to move AGAIN.

Take a guess who they will be voting for again in their new location again?

It’s a definite mental disease.

My girlfriend is in Texas visiting her mom and doesn't want to come back to Washington because our gov is an asshat. She would rather me head there but I can't leave my job.

I'm beyond over this shite.
