I don’t paint everyone fleeing from these liberal utopias with a bad brush. There are lots of good conservatives stuck in the deep blue cities.
However, the overall flight from these democrat failures is a malignant cancer to the red states. Just look at the Western US where many (not all - again I know some good ones) Californians have fled and quickly begun eroding conservative governance. How or why they cannot put 2 and 2 together is beyond me. Almost all of them decry the big taxes and big government in California as the reason they left but then they vote for the same crap!
Yankees do the exact same thing in the South. They tell us how everything was better up North and they had free this and government that and public this that and the other.....how we’re such backward rednecks for not having all that and blah blah blah.
Then when you ask them “so why did you leave your paradise and move here?”
They answer that home prices were unaffordable, taxes were crushingly high and all the good jobs had gone.
You just want to slap them.
