Why are so many democrats leaving the blue states and looking for the better life in red states with the same types of people they voted against???

Problem is, they vote for the same bad policies that had them leaving their original states.

@graphite NY had Hillary as a senator and see how she turned out.
NYC, lots of money going to politicians.

They may think they can swing the votes in the Red States or maybe even they are fed up with the left-wing crap holes.

So they can do their best to mess-up the Red States.

🤔 Dunno. They sure screwed up Austin, Texas, though.

They think that the crappy policies they voted for won't be enacted by democrats in other States, or they will be implemented more correctly. They don't bother to think beyond their feelings, otherwise they'd know that democrats and their policies are the same everywhere.

Great question. If California, New York, and Illinois are being governed so well, why are people leaving in droves and going to Texas, Florida, Idaho and Arizona?

I know a couple who lived in California, the woman is from Oklahoma and lived there for over 40 years. They decided to leave a year ago and put their almond farm & home on the market for sale, sold within 2 weeks, they bought a house online and got the hell out within about 3 weeks after that. They are conservatives and were fed up to the gills.

@cherokeepatti I know someone who moved from CA to Vegas. Since he kept the same job he started out with a 13% raise (losing the state tax)
To take their failed policies and spread it.. soon red states will be woke too 😁

same reason illegals come here...

their home countries/economies are shit, and rather than stay and do something about it, they just go elsewhere to leech off someone else...

Liberals and socialists have never had a brain that functioned and that is why they are liberals and socialists. 🤣

Because they don’t realize what the problem is.

Is that even a true statement? Isn't it just California going to Arizona and Texas cuz it's cheaper?

@Slade The truly poor people can't afford to move...it's anyone who has the money to escape the punishing taxes, the high crime, and the crushing Covid regulations.
Slade · 56-60, M
@4meAndyou Middle class then. The physical contractors will be 80% conservative (all my buds).

Bonus will be upscale leftist area that have long waits for contractors will have even longer ones. Lol

@Slade The middle class have been fleeing California for quite some time...but the new exodus in New York is among the wealthy who aren't crazy. They refuse to pay those taxes.
Muldoon · 56-60, M
Taxes and cost of living
I have some relatives (in Canada) moving to the usa because it's "too liberal here". We live in a Conservative province?? They're moving to Texas where women's rights are a joke. I guess that's what they want.

@AmbivalentFriability I'm with you on that! Things definitely went bad as soon as women were allowed to vote! Just kidding about the women's voting, but it's conservative compared to Canada

Must be all the vacant homes and jobs from republican anti vaxxers dieing off.

@Steve42 You eat lead paint chips like potato chips right?

@Steve42 I haven't died. Does that frustrate you? Does it anger you to your very bones?

@hoofhearted Get out of your tiny CNN universe. If you rent a Uhaul to go to CA, it's virtually free since they are desperate to get them back.

It's a fortune to get one leaving.

NY and CA both lost electoral votes last census.

You've been schooled
