Why Do People Flee Socialist Countries and Blue States, Then Vote Democrat?
September 20, 2018 | Vanity

Posted on 09/20/2018 8:48:43 AM PDT by EdnaMode

Immigrants who flee socialist countries vote for Democrats in overwhelming numbers.

Democrats who flee blue states due to high cost of living and corruption, move to red states and vote Democrats.

Can they not make the connection?

Immigrants and people who flee blue states have never been taught about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers.

Solution: Import a million South africans and disperse them in purple states.

They even admit it — they call it empowerment!

Empowerment of women, blacks, any leftist-approved minority, except “toxic” white men.

Because they think the problem lies with specific politicians, instead of with their political philosophy.

“Can they not make the connection?”

No, if they were that sharp, they wouldn’t be lefties in the first place.

Internationally: "Socialism" means different things to different people and different countries, and the political views people have don't always fit into simple binary oppositions.

If you were fighting in Imperial Russia for free labor unions and social insurance you were a socialist. After the Communists came in you were regarded as anything but. You'd be seen as a capitalist and a reactionary. If you moved to some places in the US, you would have been seen as a socialist again.

Domestically: There's always a gang that controls state government. When you escape one gang, you don't suddenly find yourself absolutely free. There's another gang. You may find them less oppressive economically, but think them more oppressive in other ways. Or you think yourself smarter. Or you just don't like their style and way of doing things.

But maybe what happens is that polarization spreads. Plenty of people move from Massachusetts to Southern New Hampshire with liberal Massachusetts ideas, making the area more Democrat. But plenty of people with conservative ideas who are fleeing Massachusetts politics and taxation also move north. The result is that Southern New Hampshire is more Democrat and liberal, but the Republicans there are more conservative. Upstate is more Rockefeller moderate/liberal Republican.

That and because,

Socialists see things as they wish them to be, and not as they really are.

This time when we implement socialism it will be different.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different outcome.

Middle class refugees from Utopia cannot be retrained. There is an algorithm installed in their brains that rejects any concept of cause and effect as it applies to government. Everyone should be required to read and be tested on Henry Hazlitt's Economics n One Lesson once in 8th grade and again in 11th grade. They still may make bad economic and many other choices but they will know they are bad choices. One cannot read and understand what is in this book and not be forever after unable to believe socialist nonsense.

I can distill it down to one word, selfishness.

The Californican invaders to TX are ruining the state with their votes on candidates and they never met a tax they didn’t love.

Not just states, it’s counties and cities as well.

Going full socialist is like marrying a psychotic bitch.

In America we are still in the dating stage when she is so nice and putting out.

They are fleeing countries where they have been married long for the psychotic bitch to come out.

For the same reason that muslims flee muslim countries to go to the WEST and ruin society there.

It makes sense. They want stuff. Non-socialist regions create stuff. So they come where we are and then vote to take the stuff productive people have created. They’re too stupid to see the connection - no surprise considering they are socialists.
