Utah ranked fourth in the nation for states with the largest political shift leftward between 2000 and 2020, according to research by a Brigham Young University sociologist.Comparing presidential election vote shares from 2000 to 2020, Utah had one of the largest swings leftward in the United States — behind only Vermont, Colorado and Alaska, according to Jacob Rugh, associate professor of sociology at Brigham Young University.Utah went from giving President George W. Bush 66.8% of the vote, compared to 26.5% for Vice President Al Gore in 2000; (R+40) to President Donald Trump receiving 58.1% of the vote and President Joe Biden getting 37.7% of Utah's vote in 2020 (R+20)

Those aren’t Californians, those are illegal immigrants who invaded through California, and now that those illegals are moving to your state, guess what? Too bad, maybe you should have done something when California was invaded, so don’t expect sympathy now that the illegals are moving to your place when you were silent before.

They are also Californians.

And illegals have always been an issue for me.

I currently live in CA, unfortunately. I'm from here. But I spent some time in southern Utah and still know people in SLC. My observation was that Utah had changed years ago because of the influx of out-of-state Americans long before the more recent mass invasion of illegals. And also more recently was the mass invasion of refugees from places like SoCal trying to escape the COVID and mass homeless madness. That's first hand observation, not speculation.

The main political divide in America has always been, Urban vs Rural... period. Been true since the founding, and is still true today.

“They are also Californians.”

The state which voted for reagan twice, bush and pete wilson?

[9YearLurker]

That’s a different California.

[dontsteponsnake]

Illegal aliens are not Californians

[9YearLurker]

Good luck with that one!

[dontsteponsnake]

Well buddy now Texas knows what the rest of us have dealt with the last few decades

[9YearLurker]

Ha!

[dontsteponsnake]

Also this seems like karma to me for texas spending decades busing their homeless into other states

[9YearLurker]

I can get Texas’s frustration with what pols from other states have imposed on them.
