Now that would be a twist. Next, we should cut welfare payments in TX so those who want to ride in the wagon will move to those generous northeastern states.
This makes since not like the retired Rats up north moving south but how do you explain Colorado .over run by Californians
Liberals are like roaches. They destroy their home with bad policies, then move to fresh territory and repeat the process.
Got a Hawaiian shirt wearing alternative med practitioner here. Came in from California
He’s very conservative He can talk voting trends, media trends, econocxs and American history.
I am a Calfornia expat now in Dallas.
I like it here — the people are great and the politics make sense. It also is centrally located which is ideal for a Road Warrior like me (I have gotten a lot of my life back).
I miss Los Angeles from time to time, mostly for weather, the beach and things to do.
But I a am on the road most of the time anyway.
My first vote as a citizen here was for Cruz so I feel really good about that.
I couldn’t live anywhere outside of the Eastern Time Zone.But if I ever leave this state...a greater and greater possibility with each passing day...my destination will be a state that’s more “red” then the Gay State.North Carolina,eastern Tennessee,even Georgia (although I hate heat and humidity).And wherever I go I won’t be voting for Rats.Ever.
Interesting. Now we have actual studies that proving southern freepers theories that "liberal yankee translants" made their states elect marxist RATs are wrong. Personally I'd say the illegal aliens, inner-city populations, and welfare leeches in states like Virginia are voting RAT a lot more than the "yankee transplants" do.
I'd still love to test their theory about "sending the liberal yankees back home" though, and agree to have our states take back our retired voters now living in Florida and Arizona, and in exchange they can have back all their southern transplants now living here (which they claim don't exist anyway because "no born and bred southerner would ever move to a yankee state") like Jesse Jackson, Bobby Rush, Danny Davis, Barbara Lee, Maxine Waters, etc.
Bottom line: I think their states send more "liberal transplants" up here than we send down there. Most of the people fleeing California and Illinois are doing so because they are conservatives. I doubt Jesse Jackson moved up north because he believes in "states rights".
Conservative and liberal mean different things in different states.
Not only is Texas a port in the storm for conservatives fleeing blue states, it’s probably going to end up being the last real hope for America.
America as we know it will soon die, but somewhere a truncated version of the country may form... Texas seems as likely as anywhere to be that follow-on to America.
Here is a letter from a Kalifornicka transplant to Austin posted on the KLBJ FB page. Comments are telling him bye, bye.

Hey Guys,
Love your show but I am so tired of your rude callers who are always blaming us Californians with issues in this town of Austin and the state.
It’s not Californians changing things, it’s the locals allowing things to happen. At least clarify what you say, as it’s not Californians which by the way it’s said, includes all of us.
Believe me, I would not be here if it was not that My Wife wanted to be near her Daughter. The good thing is that her Daughter is now moving to Denver cause her husband, who is a european trained Chef, could not get a decent job here. To many restaurants here that do not provide the quality food he likes to prepare, which is not Bar-B-Que, fastfood or meat, meat , meat.
And the toll roads just take, take, take. You pay on time and they post it late, then you get a toll violation and this happens over and over again. No wonder there are so many locals that owe lots of money to these toll roads.
Sorry but you had a guy call in talking about us moving here. Any Californian that is here, is only because of work, not because the state is so great. Besides, a good majority of Californians are not even from California and there are many Texans there.
Bought several times, organic fruit from HEB and had to return it because it was rotten inside. Couldn’t believe it and also had to return some chicken that was from a factory here in Texas. Fortunately, HEB returned our money.
So, now we can finally get outta here and back to the West, the mountains, the beaches, more of a variety of restaurants that serve different kinds of food, not to mention, better and fresher vegetables and fruits for better prices.
Still like your show and like it when Sgt. Sam says this is not the Austin he knew. And it’s not because of us, either.
There are some good things here but not enough to keep us around and the weather is terrible.
Sorry again, but your caller ticked me off. We are all Americans, so let’s stick together and not act like high schoolers. And I fought for this entire country, not just California.
Have a Good Day,
Henry
The overall trend indicated in the article, if true, bodes well for Conservatives and the GOP in Texas.
My oldest boy just moved to Texas. He is conservative enough to offset at least 10 liberals.
I’m hoping to be moving to Texas next year. I will be asking Texas Freepers a lot of questions. :)
