Hopefully when they flee the high tax areas they will not bring any liberal voting habits (which causes the problems in the first place) with them. No sense spreading the misery.

South FL is a Yankee colony.

The Panhandle saved the state for Donald Trump.

The problem is that is exactly what they do. Can’t tell you the number of liberals in my area that moved to avoid the taxes and regulations and then vote for the same party that caused their move. Liberalism is a mental disease.

"who hold liberal beliefs but are looking for a tax break ... "

Raise spending! Bigger Government! Reparations Now! And Tax breaks for me but not for thee! .

Liberals move out to take their high tax views to low tax states to transform them and make them like what they fled.

Rinse, cycle and repeat.

He did well in the I-4 corridor as well.

The problem is when these fools move and set up shop and ruin their new habitat, like locusts, with their failed policies. Colorado and Northern VA come to mind.

I’m not so sure this is good news. Concentrating like-minded people in enclaves basically reduces their influence in the Electoral College and also in Congress.

Reducing SALT deductibility (especially for high income people in high tax states) is still the right thing to do, and should lead to some real structural reforms which will help these States in the long run BUT the specific electoral consequences of people moving out of true Blue States is probably not great for Republicans.

That’s why the Dems are hell-bent trying to get as many illiterate Central Americans into this country before the 2020 election. All they need are their names on the voter rolls. The Rat Party will supply the votes.

I agree. Keep the lefties in lefty states, for sure. It’s like containing a cancer on the rest of the country.

I believe you’re not incorrect on that one.

A dream: gerrymander the USA into two sovereign states, one conservative and the other libtard.

They don't even need the votes. All they need is for the immigrants to be counted in the next census.

The libs are moving south. But their real problem is that most of those who move are not liberal and when the census is taken in 2020 the Blue States are going to lose seats in Congress.

Yeah, but they are fleeing to red states and bringing their politics and beliefs with them. They’re too stupid to realize this.

Its not all of South Florida. Its Dade, Palm and Broward counties....ie Greater Miami that has been flooded with New Yorkers and New Jerseyites. The rest of the state definitely leans conservative and North Florida as well as significant parts of Central Florida are still very Southern.

Its actually a deliberate strategy. Spreading out the libtard wealthy to other states. Not,only for votes, but for campaign donation issues as well.
