Is this a subtle anti-leftist piece? The 2 conservative couples look normal, well adjusted and healthy while the leftist looks like an obese, useless, malcontent who publicly advertises medical procedure that ended a life and is frequently the source of distress for those who've had it done.

Remember folks. People like this and her “partner” is the generation that’s going to fix America once the “boomers” die off.

The problem for the Right is they're occupying smaller states with disproportionate representation (by population). It wouldn't take much to swing things perpetually. If 300k Leftists on the West coast relocated to Montana, SD, ND, and Idaho, they could flip those states and get near 60 permanent votes in the Senate.

Only way this would happen if it was a bunch of retired people. And I don't think you're going to convince a bunch of retired Californians to move to the Dakotas.

Californian is a slur around here

This would be like moving one’s family into the New Orleans metro and expecting the walls of a gated community to hold up when ‘thug nation’ gets the green light from Dem Government. Which they already have to some degree. France comes to mind. Live and learn.

This conservative-minded couple left California for Idaho:


A couple of my cousins, both originally from the Communist Republic of California, recently left Boise for Portland. They had lived in Portland previously and rubbed elbows with the anqueefers there, but apparently they saw Boise slowly becoming more conservative and felt they needed to retreat back to the nutty coast.

I'm all for the self-segregation of ideologically different factions of people. Be around the people you're comfortable around. I don't want to live in Seattle any more than the Portland anqueefers want to live in Texas.

Let's just divide along hard state lines and see which states are left standing the longest. We need to either balkanize or go back to the original limitations placed upon the federal government by the Constitution.

Imagine being so driven by a love for abortion that you seek out a place where you can be comfortable flying flags about it and wearing t-shirts proclaiming it.

Your lack of perspective is amazing.

The left would post your sentence and change "abortion" for "police brutality".

Police brutality is a real issue and worth making known.

Praising abortion is about as tone deaf and socially awkward as a human can get.

They would, but they'd be wrong. Nobody is flying a flag for police brutality.

I have a house in the north end of Boise and I don’t feel like it’s becoming less conservative. The current mayor is a democrat and seems favored to win a second term in November. Boulder and Boise feel very similar to me and I’m in both quite a bit.

The North End has always been hippie central and there’s a ton of California implants that live there

If we could relinquish most of the domestic power from the federal govt. to the individual state govts. so that people could live among like minded people, then there would be a possibility for national cohabitation between the two ideologies.
If not, the country's gonna implode...it's that simple.

If you are a freedom loving person still in a blue state you only have yourselves to blame at this point.

I don't see a problem with this. Southern is a slur over there.

Most of my Boise friends from Cali are fairly vocal about being conservative.

Which is hilarious considering the proliferation of blackness in Southern Culture.
