How long until Texas gets “Californicated”? I meet more and more people here who have moved from there here in DFW.
But it DOESN'T HELP. Unless you move at least 900,000 people from a blue state to a red state, it doesn't help AT ALL.
Why? That's how many are needed for each Representative position. Move 900,000 people from NY to AL, and one EC vote moves at the next census. And that assumes the next Census is carried out correctly, which may not be the case now that the Congress and the White House will be in Donk control...
You want to change? You have to not only hold the states you talked about, but move millions of people from blue states to red states. Tens of millions.
Move every Republican from NY State (about 8 million people), and you swing exactly 8 electoral votes. Meaning that even if you give FL, NC, VA, NM to McCain, you STILL come up 2 EC votes short.
Bottom line is, there are simply more liberals than conservatives in the US. And it will only grow, as we the producers are taxes and pushed harder and harder to give to those who are takers.
And by taking from us, and giving to those who do not produce, they will buy and seal those votes with the blood of our labors.
The reality? I'll make my part-time move out of the country permanent, until it snaps back to sense (if ever)...
“get out now and stop giving your tax money to liberals
let them have their liberal utopia and lets make our states more red”
Here’s something I posted this morning before any election returns started coming in - dealing with what conservatives must do in the face of a “changing America”:

The sad fact is, there is no place else.
You have to stay and fight.
The suburbs of Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth. Most of the smaller/medium sized towns are conservative. Austin is probably the only city that is more liberal than conservative.
“But the problem with France is that France is not France anymore - France is 10% Islamist. “
10%?
Who needs 10%?
The United States has a fraction of that many Islamics, and we just elected one to be president!
Are we still the United States any more?

Give it two years... Confiscatory taxation of businesses and “the wealthy” (now defined as those who make more than $40,000 per year), restriction of free speech, vote fraud essentially disenfranchising you, de-facto elimination of private health insurance, confiscation of private property, and a new civilian security force to protect my neighbors from me, the dangerous conservative.
I firmly believe that in 2 years, there will be more individual freedoms in even China than in the US. It’s almost equal right now...
I hear there’s 57 states.
Really, that is about the only thing left! Find a Republican Gov., Legislature, that votes Republican/conservative and move to it. Just like the illegals were given sanctuary cities they can now be sanctuary cities and states for Republicans/conservatives!
you are looking art electoral votes I think
Look at VA, now if 200,000 had moved out of New England then VA would have stayed red
if a republican moves out of liberal utopia and ,moved to those reddish states then it helps
Obama’s 47% vote here (he lost) came from metro Atlanta, which is overwhelmingly black, and who all voted for Obama. McCain’s 52% vote here (he won) came from all the rest of Georgia, where I live. In the 2000 election, my county had the most completely Republican vote in the USA.
McCain was a Republican? Heck I didn't know that, all this time I thought he was a Maverick. McCain(M).
Head for Texas. Site of Free America’s last stand. We’ll meet you there.
I left Ohio last year voluntarily for SC and couldn’t be happier. My kids are still in NE Ohio and struggling with the economy....I wish I could talk them into moving down here.
Almost everyone I’ve met down here is from up north...the joke is that pretty soon the southern US is going to sink from all the newcomers...lol
