Just an observation from West Texas but we’ve seen quite an increase in new blood and they’re not what you expect. Most are escapee’s from states where their voice was silenced.
“Most are escapee’s from states where their voice was silenced.”
You’re spot on, my friend. As a current resident of the People’s Republic of Illinois, there’s a reason why Illinois ranks number one in state outbound migration. I’ve had it with the Chicago Dems running the state. Even those I have backed for office eventually stabbed me and fellow conservatives in the back (e.g. former Sen. Mark Kirk and soon-to-be-former Gov. Bruce Rauner).
So yes, my voice has been silenced. I want out of here and declare refugee status to any red state that will take me and my wealth.
And I am guessing a number of those leaving the state are also liberals that have been mugged and now have a different viewpoint. At least, I can hope so.
