Flooding normal people states with commie loons is not a good thing. While it proves we are right, at the same time it will destroy us.

We.are.so.screwed

I’m not sure if it’s a plan, but with the jobs go the HR departments and all the other stuff that is pushing America leftward.

If you literally live in the country, you won’t see this, but cities and state capitals and resort towns do.

I’m guessing that eventually, the country will be parsed into semi-autonomous regions which will be defined as Scantuary Regions based upon majority political, religious, philosophical beliefs. California has actually shown the template for doing this. Thinking the Red L will be conservative.
But, we shall see. Change is in the wind that’s for sure.

“Have you chatted with some of the recent arrivals? If so, were you able to get a sense of their socio-political bents?”

A couple of years ago we got new nextdoor neighbors. I met the wife outside while wearing my MAGA hat.

She smiled and said her father is sure going to enjoy his winter visits here!

“Would be interesting to see a pre-Biden map to compare.”

Florida was purple. Influx has helped make it Red.

The blue states may be shriveling but the progressive cancer
is circulating through the body and metastasizing in the red organs

So true. I have seen it happen to my state of Oregon.

They do not care. Their lemmings are fleeing to red/purple states.

The plan is to turn the red states blue with blue-state escapees.

I don’t think so. We have bought property in Indiana 4 miles across the border and will start building next year. My whole family is as conservative as you can be.

One of the reasons the BS pols do nothing about this is because the people fleeing tend to vote R. So each departure tends to make the state more and more blue.

And they are rapidly importing Illegals to prop up their census and maintain their house seats and electoral votes.

I believe the data from the 2018 election showed Cruz won by carrying the vote of newcomers while losing the vote of native Texans.

Too bad the census was already completed prior to this ramp-up in the change - it would shift House seats and Electoral votes for the 2024 election.

That is an excellent way to sniff out locust-like lefties! Very clever. And because they’re on your turf and in the minority they won’t dare start outright screeching and snapping at you but still, you would be able to tell what their drift is by their reaction to the MAGA hat. Well played!
