    And he's the reason we're getting so many transplants from Cali to my Southern state. Just sold 10 acres to a couple from Sacramento. Said most of Cali has become a complete shit hole due to political leadership.  Also getting some Oregon and Washington state transplants as well. Actions speak louder than words. 
    one couple = whole state. interesting.

    Yea the whole “my state is better” is dumb. People move for all sorts of reasons. “Moving from blue to red” is such a dumb “political” argument and it’s just as dumb automatically shitting on red states like Mississippi or Florida. People have all different types of lifestyles and needs, thankfully states vary significantly across the US. Some people love Alaska, others Florida. Some prefer cities, others prefer rural, along with a many, many other factors.

    i'd move from red to blue to be honest. my legislators constantly vote to overturn shit that we voted for and passed. what is the point of having elections if the gop will just override our decision?

    Anecdotally you are correct but on the aggregate there is a large trend of people moving from D to R states. It’s projected the next census 2030  the democratic states could lose ten house seats/electoral votes to R states in the south. Part of the reason is the rent is just too damn high in democratic areas.

    Counterpoint: Most of those people moving will be dead in 10 years, so it will be a wash.

    but the only significant data in terms of election results from said migration is, of those that moved, which way they vote after said move.

    That would be catastrophic. You’re suggesting the deaths of nearly eight million young people, possibly many more if there is collateral damage or related fatalities of those that did not move.

    ” Regarding the average age of those moving, available data on domestic migration in the U.S. suggests that people who move between states are generally younger than the overall population. ”

    Florida and Texas have had significant migration of northerners for decades, and are still solidly republican. Florida for one is more out of reach for Dems now.

    Well. Aging population, decreased access to healthcare, internet brain rot, climate change in exposed to catastrophic weather states. You never know!

    "We have been getting a lot of attention on Fox News lately, but here are some cold, hard FACTS you won't hear on that network.

    💰 Middle class families in California pay LESS in taxes than in states like Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.

    👷 50 million of the 52 million jobs created since the Cold War have been created in Democratic administrations. Republican presidents have one thing in common: recession.

    🔴 Life expectancy, infant mortality, deaths of despair, wages and uninsured rates are all worse off in red states.

    🚨 For Greg Abbott: California is the fourth largest economy in the WORLD. We contribute $83 billion to the federal government while Texas takes $71 billion.

    🥇 California is #1 in manufacturing, #1 in farming, #1 in new business starts, #1 in tech and VC investments, #1 in Fortune 500 companies, and the #1 public higher education system in the country.

    👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 California has some of the strongest gun laws in the country and as a result has a 43% lower gun death rate than the rest of the U.S. according to data from the CDC while President Trump oversaw the largest spike in homicides recorded in U.S. history.

    😡 Republicans across the country are fanning the flames of culture wars to distract from the fact that on health, wealth, and economic outcomes they are failing.

    🗳️ When Democrats go on OFFENSE, we WIN.

    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER,

    Gavin Newsom"

    Yeah that's why he keeps getting elected. Great insight.
    also why he could potentially be the next president.
    I know 77 million voters that say otherwise.........probably more than 77 mil at rate Dems are losing their base other than freeloaders.

    Even that would be useless if those that move don’t realize the reasons that caused them to move were created by politicians, or blame politicians for reasons beyond their control. Either of which are probably common scenarios.
