Don't bring your Blues to our Red states
American Thinker ^ | 14 May, 2022 | M.B. Mathews

Liberals moving to red states should not bring their leftwingery with them.

There has been a huge influx of blue state people to red states in the past three years.

This is a good thing because the Democrat voters, the blues, see what is happening in their own states and want nothing more to do with it.

There is only one problem: Do blue staters know why their blue states are failing? They may only be seeing the results of the failures such as high taxes, high crime, authoritarian shutdowns, masking, education pathologies, high gas prices, empty shelves, welfare hounds and business-unfriendly policies that cause small business closures. But the causes are liberal policies and liberal politicians. Do blue staters make that connection?

Moving to a red state is a relief for blue staters, but if they cannot connect their blue state pathologies to voting for Democrats, they are again going to vote for the same party that gave them their blue state blues. It is imperative that blue staters recognize that escaping to a red state to avoid blue state problems will do them no good if they persist in voting for Democrats, who, at first opportunity, will vote for the same blue policies they left their blue states to avoid. It is imperative that every blue stater who is not Republican not vote Democrat if they enjoy red state living.

Don’t bring your blue state liberal policies to your new red state. If you hated being shut down, don’t vote for Democrat governors who will do it to you again at the first sniffle. Republicans don’t do this, lacking the authoritarian gene. Democrats do, though.

If your blue state has high gas prices, do not vote for Democrats who believe that you should pay more for gasoline because green policies are the wave of the future and who will replace gasoline with green fuel, probably algae or kale.

Wouldn’t happen in my time but if enough of them move from NJ could the state really change for the better? Not that I wish those types destroy someone else’s home...just thinking.

Liberalism is a disease, and it is difficult to quarantine against it. Plus, is is contagious, and spreads in insidious ways.

Watch for these “New” people to be showing up at school board meetings and homeowners’ associations, and asserting their “better way” of doing things. They may even be coming through their new neighborhoods and “evangelize” the people you have known and lived with for years.

Not that I am hostile or paranoid in any way, but like oil, liberalism floats up and covers over the life-sustaining water beneath it.

Think of these liberal imports as oil slicks.

A few general quips from Apostle Paul (not necessarily in context) come to mind when I think of these types…

“Bad company corrupts good character”
“A little leaven leaven’s the whole lump”
“And their talk will spread like gangrene”
“They must be stopped because they are ruining whole households”
“Have nothing to do with such people”
Etc.

Do locust stop being locust just because they find a field they haven't ruined? Do mice stop being mice just because they find a new food supply that they haven't contaminated?

Do either ever make the connection to their destructive behavior and that which they have destroyed?

No, they don’t change. Liberals are mostly brain dead hooked to the silly IV of irrational thinking.

They can be highly intelligent in regards to their ability to memorize things, a useless exercise when their core material is BS.

If only they weren’t so pompous spreading their lunacy.

Not enjoyable people to be around, even less so when they screw up otherwise well functioning communities.

Wish they’d stay in the liter boxes they’ve created.

That is a profound metaphor.

Ban them from voting LOCAL/STATE issues for TEN YEARS. Maybe the stupid will be gone by then.

Wife and I are opposite from this trend. We are Conservatives who left Blue MA and moved to a very Conservative community in Red TN a year ago. We have never been happier.

We are currently in RI for family events and issues and we are very anxious to get back to our place on a lake in Tennessee. I'm having feelings of depression setting in.

Nope, it’s a breeding ground for liberals. Did east coast states improve as liberals moved to the once reliably conservative California?

Liberals never learn.

Social issues concerning freedom from responsibility/extra "rights" resulting in getting your genitals "off" rule their voting habits. They just end up weakening economies that were once somewhat stable.
