This was the theory behind the Free State Project. (Unfortunately for the libertarians, the Dems already owned the state with crossover illegal voting from Boston.)
The flaw in this proposal is that once “blue staters” move to “red states” they find the residents aren’t actual Nazis/racists/bigots/etc. but are in fact pretty decent people, far more decent than the ruthless savages of the places they used to inhabit.
Blue staters moving to red states also find that the residents are armed.

And the flaw in your logic is that they’ll vote republican.
They won’t.
They will continue to vote RAT, because that’s how they’re programmed. They will continue to watch and believe CNN, MSNPC, NPC, SeeBS, and all the other clown car freedom haters. And they will vote accordingly.
See NH, VT, ME, MT, NV, NM, even TX.

That hasn’t been my experience in one of the victim states. The movers bring and keep all their bigotry from their original blue states. Red states are being colonized by bigots.
