Nolte: Blue States Lose Population, Red States Gain Population
Breitbart ^ | 12/20/2023 | JOHN NOLTE

Posted on 12/20/2023 1:43:15 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Americans are again voting with their feet, which means the deep blue states of Illinois, California, and New York posted the top three population losses in 2023, while the red states of Texas, Florida, and North Carolina were the top three population gainers. Yes, yes, I am well aware my current home state of North Carolina has a Democrat governor. However, Republicans control the State Senate and House. In fact, Republicans have a veto-proof supermajority in the House. Here in The NC, we are governed by the GOP. When you compare 2022 state populations to 2023 state populations, New York posted a net population loss of 101,984 souls. California lost 75,423. Illinois lost 32,826.

Not really relevant. Maryland had a Republican governor recently

You can cherry-pick data as you want. The left does this with “gun violence”. You can point to say, Tennessee, and say they have a lot of murders.

But ignore dark blue Memphis that has around 6% of the state’s population but accounts for about 68% of the murders.

Same holds true with Bessemer, Alabama, Jackson, Mississippi, etc.

Welfare is the same way.

Illinois is replacing Americans with illegals as fast as they can. Small towns are getting them in the dark of night

Check out the budgets for the so-called red states.

If Deep State yanks all federal funding, how do those states plan to make up the resulting shortfall?

I think the welfare state accusation is based on the pure transfer of federal dollars out vs taxes paid. But what isn’t accounted for is that federal dollars paid out includes social security, Medicare, military pay and pensions, etc. Many folks retire to southern “red” states. Their associated federal dollars follow them. Perhaps a more honest number could be ascertained by eliminating such dollars from the aggregate numbers, and then see how the “welfare” balance-of-payments shakes out.

As for blue states...

If blue states are so blue, why does Deep state need to steal their elections...?

Take your brains outta neutral, people.

If enough of us had been happy to vote for this crap then Deep State wouldn’t have needed to end our republic.
