That’s the way it used to be for sure. It’s a different situation now, IMHO.
Previously when liberals migrated out from their blueness they indeed brought their insane political views with them, no doubt. I witnessed it firsthand in the mid eighties when Boeing/McDonnell Douglas merger started bringing in Californians up to work in the burgeoning aerospace industry.
Now days, the majority of the ones migrating or in actuality fleeing, are different. They are leaving their biases in the place they left for the most part.
The people moving today are fleeing for their lives. The statistics Professor Hanson gives is chilling. My sister-in-law’s entire family ten or eleven of them ranging in age from 75 down to new born great grandchildren, surprised the family when they all moved from Kern County, California to Arkansas and Idaho this year.
They were 4 generation Californians. What’s really interesting is their ancestors migrated to California from Oklahoma and Arkansas during the Dustbowl Era. They were called Okies. Now they are reverse migrating back to their ancestral homeland. One thing for sure, they couldn’t get their driver’s licenses and car tab swapped out quickly enough. The moment they crossed the California border, they said their California identity stayed in California. That’s how people feel today, and that’s a good thing for Arkansas and Idaho, a death knell for California .
I hope you are correct about today’s migration out of California. Only time will tell.
