Great! Do you feel at home there, yet, with your new surroundings? I would imagine it would take some time to get familiar with it when moving out of a state that is, basically, your roots into the unfamiliar no matter how good it is.
And since all that's left are illegals coming to Texas, I suggest y'all learn Spanish!
AMEN STAY IN CALI U RINO LIBTARDS
I’m so sick of all these libs coming to the once Great State of Texas and bringing their wacked out beliefs with them. They’ve ruined Texas.
I’ve been trashed on FR for saying it, but Texas will vote blue POTUS long before any “secession” happens.
I heard on the news this morning that Arizona has an initiative to provide incentives to the first 100 CEOs who move their companies from Cal to AR.
I hope the trend continues, since here in CA, outside a few of us, there are nothing left but libs and illegals.
Enjoy!
Some come here to build hot rods and make machete movies.
They also enjoy our celebration of the 2nd amendment.
Well, if it makes you feel any better, my extended (and uber lib) family has no plans to move from California to Texas.
As the sole conservative in my family, I finally couldn't take it another day, and moved my wife and kids to Texas seven years ago. I think lots of my liberal kin were glad to see me go.
The exodus we're seeing now, is mostly conservatives getting out of these liberal hellholes.
They have ruined many states...Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, New Hampshire...even Vermont was conservative many years ago; until ruined by deadheads and New Yorkers.
I just hope Floridians don’t do what I did 25 years ago, when I escaped from there to Texas.
Many of those M*ssh*les were conservatives; that is why NH counties along the Mass border are 'red'...it is the suburban New Yorkers that are ruining this state.
LOL... that’s FUNNY
Made me chuckle...
re: “The problem is these idiots bring their liberal politics with them and mess up the red states.”
You are EXACTLY correct. This has happened in Nevada. Nevada used to be a consistently conservative state in its voting in national elections.
However, from the 1980’s through 1998, the lost cost of housing vs. the through the roof cost of housing/living in California drove many Californians to move to nearby Nevada.
This constant influx of Californians into Nevada soon showed itself in state and national elections. Clark county was always a Democrat district, but all the other counties, including Washoe, usually went Republican. Now that is all gone, except for the rural counties.
Clark county, though it has always been a dem stronghold, is now near total Democrat controlled, and Washoe county voted Democrat in 2008 and 2012. Reid used to have to act conservative back in the 70’s and 80’s, even early 90’s - but, no more.
If Texas continues to get more and more Californians, it WILL begin to see this affecting local and national election results.
Well, my wife is from Florida, and she's no liberal. I suspect there are more conservatives fleeing the blue states than libs.
Personally, I think a lot of the movement we're seeing is based on left/right politics. Many populations around the world have physically separated in advance of worsening political climates. I've even run into a few lefties in the DFW area who told me they were leaving Texas because it was too red for their taste.
Sure, a lot of this movement is driven by economics, but I think people are also gravitating to places where others of like mind reside. There's no doubt that our culture is now divided more deeply than at any time since the Civil War. For myself, I feel more alien in a solidly liberal area, than I have in some foreign countries.
Jumping on the 'all Californians are liberals' bandwagon, eh? I know it's a time honored pastime here, but understand that the right has been driven out of California. They all went somewhere. Lots have gone to Texas, but you folks out in Indiana have probably gotten some too.
In favor of leaving California, the fact is my vote is totally worthless. Furthermore the not-so-subtle vilification and ostracism of non-conformists is on the increase. I really like the idea of legally carrying a firearm, no income tax, and hanging out someplace where the people are just naturally friendly like me. The hill country and west Texas will always feel like home to me.
On the other hand, I like going to the beach (im not talking about the gulf coast either), being an insurgent, undermining authority, and blowing people's minds with my just plain natural Texas accent. Plus there's the lack of actual weather in California.
However my girls are all from California, and they all want to move to Arizona. This may be the deciding factor.
