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.

I moved to CA and then OR for the job.
I left both for the same reason.
I didn’t get vaxxed. Not a state employee but if I had been, they could not have forced me to get the shot. They could only have fired me, whereupon I’d be conferring with a lawyer right now.
As it happened, the covid hysteria taught me a valuable lesson about people — in every state.
“But it’s a long ride to the beach’’.
Yeah. Here on The Jersey Shore we’re used to ‘’the Bennies’’.
We take it all in stride.
It is. I’ve always noticed that CNN’s back drop is black, red and white. Those were the colors of the Nazi Party. The red background, the white circle and the black swastika.
‘’war of Northern Aggression’’?
REALLY? so you’re a Reb?
Well, guess again Reb. It was the SOUTH, the Confederacy, that started the damn war!
We lost the battle -- BUT WON THE WAR!
Look at a map of national growth. It ain't the blue state north that's growing -- it's the red state south, you fool.
They're bailing on you because you have created $hi##t hole Marxist look-alike states and cities. (NYC, PHILIDELPHIA, CHICAGO, BALTIMORE, DETROIT, ETC vs MIAMI, ATLANTA, TAMPA, NASHVILLE, PHOENIX, RALIEGH)
Again let me hip you to something Reb.We’re not all liberals north of the Mason-Dixon Line, so watch who you’re calling a Marxist pal.get it? I’m a fool? You idiot, YOU’RE the Democrat here, NOT ME!
One of the biggest Trump rallies was held here in NJ and Trump is a New Yorker, a Yankee. How do you square that with winning exactly?
Living in NY with Spitzer/Cuomo/Hochul is a nightmare. Now that the lefties own the state legislature the state’s decline is accelerating directly related to the increased leftist’s new policies.
Hey Reb go check out what Atlanta and Houston are doing for illegals. Those cities aren’t in Yankee Land, are they?
We may have to move to Florida to follow the kids and we vote Republican also.
That ain't got nothing to do with winning the WAR!
Tell me why all your kind is bailing out of the mess you made up north over the last 160 years and heading down south to God's country -- fool.
That's the facts. Your poor states ain't growing -- they are the reverse of growing and are decaying!
And your states are being overun with illegals the same as mine.
Yesterday the lagest Trump in America was held here in Wilwood NJ. So get this straight you stupid ass, cousin screwing redneck Confederate wannabe: I'm a fierce conservative Republican, a Yankee, just like Trump, bought to my senses politically by the late, great Rush Limbaugh, may he rest in peace and I'm going to be the bone in the throat of every one of you stupid Rebs as long as there is breath in me. Oh and something else stupid, your taxes are paying for the mess of illegal aliens thanks to your Democrat buddies so remember that.
It is time for us all
To decide who we are
Do we fight for the right
To a night at the opera now?
Have you asked of yourselves
What’s the price you might pay?
Is it simply a game
For a rich young boy to play?
The colors of the worlds
Are changing day by day
Red, the blood of angry men!
Black the dark of ages past!
Red, a world about to dawn!
Black, the night that ends at last!
