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?

Is this your opinion or factually based? The Cubans who left Cuba after Castro, were/are notorious for being conservative and voting Repulican.

Being liberal is a drug to them, it makes them feel good.

Immigrants who flee hellholes, which they made for themselves, and then vote for the same policies believe in "magic dirt theory." They think that their ideas will work if they are transplanted onto someone else's soil.

SJWs who flee hellholes, which they made for themselves, and then vote for the same policies believe that their ideas will work if they are tried one more time.

To paraphrase Winston Churchill, to answer your question, have a 5 minute conversation with your average demo_rat. It will then be perfectly clear to you why they do what they do.

I know several leftists and one of the first things they will say is “everybody deserves healthcare”. That puts many people in the leftist column. That and the intense need to think of themselves as “compassionate”, etc., seems to cloud their thinking on most every other political and social issue, and on the consequences of the policies leftists most always support.

I had a commie/lib boss move to my small town twenty years ago and he gushed how great it was compared to the big city he was from and then promptly begin telling us hicks how we were living wrong and needed to change and do things like they did where he was from.

Liberals are like locust, land, devour, destroy move on to the next green field, repeat process until all is destroyed and then turn on each other for the scraps.

There is a wall between cause and effect.

Speaking only of blue state emigres, and I know a few, these are not outcome-based decision makers, they focus on principles only and they’re the principles that make them feel good about themselves. A negative outcome is met with a shrug and “at least we tried.” And for that reason they all consider themselves more moral than their critics.

I don't have a clue; but it has to be the same kind of reason Yankees come south and still read the NYT and vote Democrat.

Colorado Dept of Revenue announced today that tax receipts are up about 5% for the year and a big part of it is the influx from other states...

I wouldn’t wanna bet how long it’ll take our president-wannabe governor and the rest of the democratic socialists in our state to spend all the new revenue and come looking for more...It’s what they do...

That seems very common with Democrat voters.
