It happens all the time. The lib moves from his crime-infested, over-taxed state to another state where things are better. However, this liberal takes his voting habits and big government desires to the new state. In this way, a number of states have been “Californicated” or “New Yawkerized”. Good examples are Colorado and Florida, respectively. I can talk about New York because I am from there and have been fighting with liberals all my life. When, I enlisted in the military, I left NY for good. I am the exception to the rule, I was someone who should been born elsewhere and just moved where I felt most at home.
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been disappointed taking golf trips along the southeastern seaboard expecting to meet locals and their honey dipped accents and encountering one refugee Yankee staffer after another. Typical profile: they think they know it all...every joke they tell is supposed to be hilarious etc.
On occasions when they are asked why they’ve migrated south, the reasons are invariably cost of living/taxes/crime/property. Statistically a significant percentage of them must have been the ones voting liberals into power for decades yet apparently they don’t see the irony. The RI island guys are especially odious. Is there something about a small state that produces obnoxiousness?
