My father moved from Oregon to Lake Havasu City about 6 years ago.Within the last 2 to 3 years, two California couples moved in on each side of his dwelling.

My assumption was his neighbors would turn out to be liberals like most Californians. However they both turned
out to be staunch Trump supporters, who like flying Trump flags like my Dad.

Arizona is far from lost for President Trump.

Havasu is Trump land. Though there are a few Biden signs scattered here and there ... they are out numbered by Trump signs about 100:1

A lot has to do with why the people are moving in the first place. For instance, wealthy New Yorkers going to Vermont for a quiet, inexpensive place to retire young, likely very bad. Only a few can overwhelm the place until they elect a leading senator who sounds like he spent his whole life in Brooklyn.

We have seen this happen before with okay results. The entire southeast used to be lightly populated until jobs started moving there in the '70s, drawing northerners. Many of the carpetbaggers adopted many of the southern mannerisms and values over time. I lived in southern Georgia for four years, and the people are great. I still drink my iced tea unsweetened and I am a Catholic, not a Baptist, but everything else was compatible. The wave that moved in the 70 and 80s also adapted, not completely, but enough that they weren't going to vote for the next John Lindsey or Robert Kennedy. These were people moving to raise families.
