What is it with liberals, that they have to move into some of the most beautiful areas of our great nation, and ruin them, economically and otherwise? The whole West coast, The Eastern slope of the Rockies, the Great Lakes region, New England, all socialist hells. Montana is on the way, thanks to ultra-rich libs who want a retreat from the hustle and bustle of California. Idaho, the Dakotas, and the Intermountain West are untouched for the most part, but that’s mainly because there isn’t much there. The South is on its way, starting with Atlanta, but conservative values still hold. Granted, few areas of the country are dull, but the corn belt, the rust belt, and the midatlantic region aren’t in the same class as, say, the Cascades, or Cape Cod, or Boulder Vale.

So, what you're saying is that the majority of the country is drifting left.

That's just great. Maybe Mars will be habitable soon.

No, not the majority. The Midwest, the Intermountain west including much of NV, NM, and AZ, the corn belt, many of the Southern states, and at least some of the Midatlantic (mostly the more Southern states, plus the rural areas of Ohio and Penn) are quite conservative. Rural areas of California and Washington are as well. It’s just that libs tend to gather at the economic sinks, rather than the fonts. Cities and vacation spots tend to have more money flowing into them than out of them, and so they wind up with a surplus of other peoples’ money to play with. Their habit of congregating in those areas tends to swamp the native conservatism, and they get themselves ensconced in local government, and eventually state-level government. Then you end up with places like Mass, which used to be the core of anti-tyranny in the nation, and the home of some of the greatest patriots our country has ever known, now a socialist nightmare with ridiculous taxes, outrageous costs of living, exclusionary regulations locking off large swaths of land from even foot access, feel-good laws that damage living standards and the business climate, and so much more.
