Why are people fleeing Blue states for Red states?

@MorbidCynic I don’t doubt it. But having lived in deep red states and blue states, lower costs seem enticing, people rarely make the connection with inferior services.

@windinhishair I only ever looked into New Orleans so I have no clue. They have lower living costs but people in my field make the same money as we do in NJ. So it sounded like a good deal 😅

@MorbidCynic The cities in red states tend to be more similar to blue states. You have to look at what fits your specific situation.

@beckyromero Soon, when the white population sinks below 50%, and the nation becomes a majority minority party, Trump’s White America Party will be doomed to failure on a national scale. Trump will be gone by then, but the damage done will live on.

@QuixoticSoul I have children who moved to blue states after grad school. Why? Lack of work opportunities in red states.

@Crazywaterspring In general, blue states are richer, healthier, more innovative and educated than red ones. Their economies are more competitive, high-quality and diverse. This, despite higher taxes and more regulations.

But I’m sure this is just an accident 🤔

When did you live there? Within city limits? I watch the ABC nighlighty news with David Muir. Not the fake crap you watch. @LeopoldBloom

@jackjjackson 2000 to 2008, the last few years well within city limits, and I worked downtown the entire time. I also know a lot of people who live and work there now. The unrest is confined to a very small area around the South Park Blocks. When they show you a dumpster fire or some idiot spray painting a wall, you can't assume "the entire city is on fire."

Let's assume, however, that the entire city has descended into chaos. Since Trump is in charge now, logically that means this is "Trump's America," and if we reelect him, we can expect more of the same.

The President currently has no control over Portland and if I was him wouldn’t want any. Let Darwinism take its course. @LeopoldBloom

@ianR0ckwell It's in literally every conservative headline, the word "fleeing." And it's simply not. Hearing about people leaving doesn't change the fact that it's representative of 1% in shift over a nine-year period.

@LeopoldBloom True. It's purple these days. It does mark on the big three states for relocation.

@Graylight It's turning blue due to people from CA relocating there. It may not turn blue this cycle, but within ten years it will if current trends hold.
