“Folks are moving out of the cities as fast as they can. I mean....Liberals...are moving out of the cities they DESTROYED, are unwilling to live with the consequences of their votes and will now move someplace else to destroy.”
Such a good point. I cringe a little whenever I see someone here on FR gloating about some Bay Area company moving to Austin or Dallas or Phoenix. A bunch of liberal-leaning voters flooding into red (and formerly red) states is nothing to celebrate. When this is pointed out, the response is occasionally along the lines of “No, no. These aren’t the crazy leftists. These are the people escaping crazy leftism.” Wrong. They may not be the craziest of the crazy, but they’re coming to your state and the lion’s share will keep voting for Dems.
I cannot point to a single time when large moves from a leftist area to a conservative area resulted in anything but a leftward shift. Not one single time.
They bring their sick ideas with them.
Toss into that the FR folks gloating......
Lets digest these moves:
1. They’re usually done after the local municipality and state give away the farm(literally, in some cases) as an incentive for the move.
2. These corporations demand and GET significant tax breaks/incentives for moving.
3. Then the local and state government officials who are going to make money off the deal, in some underhanded way, will tell their constituents all about the jobs that are coming. I think that snake in the grass, Rick Perry is the gold standard for that scam. Only, the very large majority of those jobs DO NOT go to the locals. Those companies bring all their liberal employees with them
Think about it. Bezos wanted and got, cities all over the eastern half of the US willing to give everything away so he’d move his eastern HQ there. In Georgia, one small city was going to be renamed, Amazon. He was going to build a $5,000,000,000 campus with an average salary of $150k a year, if I’m not mistaken. Lots of jobs for everyone. NOPE. Lots of jobs for liberal tech folks, then they’ll be fired for the tsunami of H1B-visa holders, who will get paid in dirt, while the company exec’s make millions. There’s your $150k a year.
So, the liberal mecca of Nashville got the nod and now that city is a liberal, hipster disaster. Same goes for Chattanooga. Always find it interesting that these liberal companies love going someplace cheaper, safer, with better quality of life...wouldn’t you know it, those places tend to be a little Conservative. Imagine that. And then they set about destroying it, once school board member or city council person, at a time.

Yep. Experience that in Eastern Pennsylvania. Bunch of NY plates and attitudes. And yes, new immigrants will fill the void in the big cities.
