This always amazes me. I moved to North Florida in 2013, and one of the main reasons was finally my vote would count, being from NY. Why the hell anyone would flee the North East and vote for the same type of jackasses that have destroyed that area, makes no sense to me.
I made the move to Georgia in 1995 and thought the same thing. From what I can tell, and I don’t live/work in Atlanta anymore, there seems to be a bit more self reliance, from folks in the South. The northerners can barely change their own tires. So, they vote for more and more government assistance, because that’s what government is for. God forbid you call a private company to come pick up your trash. The government is supposed to do that.
