In recent years we have literally seen millions of Americans relocate from red states to blue states. In some cases, there is simply a desire to be around other like-minded people. In other cases, specific political policies that have been enacted in certain states have motivated large numbers of people to relocate. This was particularly true during the pandemic. Of course there are also many that are just trying to escape the crime, drugs, homelessness and violence that are plaguing so many major cities in blue states. For those that are trying to raise a family, finding a safe environment for their children is often of the utmost importance. As a result of the factors that I have just mentioned, we have been witnessing a “mass exodus” to “Red America” that is unlike anything we have ever seen before. Vast numbers of people have been moving from blue states such as California, New York and Illinois to red states such as Florida, Idaho and Montana…
More and more Americans are moving from Democratic-leaning blue states to Republican-voting red ones, and one of the effects of this change is that they are relocating to places with lower life expectancy.
Idaho, Montana and Florida, all red states, had the greatest population growth among U.S. states between 2020 and 2022. Meanwhile, New York and Illinois, both blue states, and Louisiana, a red state, suffered the biggest population losses. California, another blue state, has experienced significant recent population loss as well.
One key reason for this migration is the high cost of living in places like New York and California, compared with the lower cost of living in red states such as Georgia or Indiana.
The nationwide realignment that has been taking place is truly remarkable.

California, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Oregon and Washington are RED (Leftist).
Blue should be reserved to Free States.
How many people will it take to turn those red states blue if it is just Rats deserting the sinking ship? Are more of the people leaving our allies or infiltrators?
Our National Divorce is at hand.

I did a double take on that one: "millions of Americans relocate from red states to blue states."
Huh? WTH? He must have been hitting the bottle early.
But Trump recognized the gift of the reversed colors and capitalizes on the superior branding and visibility of RED.
He made their political mistake turn into our marketing advantage.
Left Colorado for Mississippi to escape the leftist agenda destroying was one a great state.
And now they will vote for people who will enact those same policies in the states to which they move.
It is what happened in Oregon.
“In recent years we have literally seen millions of Americans relocate from red states to blue states. “
Finally somebody has color corrected the Commie surge.
I would say there are RED [commie] States and Red, White and Blue [American] States.
Let’s get it right as to the State color narrative.
LOL...I didn’t even see that. I knew what the article was about based on the title, so didn’t pay attention.
With India and Pakistan, they called it “partition.” I think that term avoids the negative connotations with “secession” or even “divorce.”
