And they still vote Democrat and have ruined Virgina.

I moved from Seattle 8 years ago to rural Kentucky. My 40-ish daughter and her husband moved near Lousville a year ago. They love it here and are now looking for a house.

Was gonna say, this is not a good development as it merely spreads the contagion around.

And we wonder why Texas is purple? I’m all for sending them back.

Now they are trying to do the same to North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Did you see how close that female black supremacist got to getting elected governor of Georgia? Scary!

NYS has been losing House seats for decades.

Exactly. They vote for the same failed policies that made them want to leave their hellholes in the first place.

Texas doesn't have many cycles left red.

“My 40-ish daughter”

Geez, you are likely pretty old. I’m surprised.

A few years ago, I went to Louisville for my nephew’s wedding. He and his bride traveled there from California to get married, apparently because they are Big Lebowski freaks. Very strange.

But I really liked Louisville. Hoping to go back there soon and explore more.

We went to some apparently famous restaurants called The Brown, I think. We had a brown sandwich that they were famous for. It was turkey, gravy and cheese on bread, if I remember right. It was tasty but it alone was not worth the trip.

Now this image will adapt and look good no matter the screen size or resolution.

How long with the South remain low tax and conservative with so many liberal Northerners moving in? It’s a matter of time until they overwhelm the natives and turn the states at least purple.

WASH and ORE in the Top Ten are surprising.

I’ve been to a LOT of cities in the US (driven in every state except for five on the east coast) and Louisville is my favorite. I actually work right next to the Yum Center downtown. Parking’s cheap. Traffic is low. And this is a “food and microbrew” town.

I even sometimes play at the blues jam at “Stevie Ray’s”. down here. And if I really want a taste of Seattle’s Capital hill, the U-district and Freemont all rolled up into one, I just hit the Highlands on Baxter and Bardstown Road here.

And they finally have plenty of Costco’s, though Amazon is making them less and less relevant.

I’ve heard that argument a lot, and I don’t entirely discount it. But there’s another, more pleasant side.

But down here in sunny Southwest Florida, I know a great many retirees from New York, New Jersey, and even Massachusetts who are strong conservatives. Among the people I do volunteer work with, I can only think of a handful of liberals.

I’m pretty broken up about Virginia going blue, but I believe that’s entirely due to the proliferation of government jobs in the D.C. suburbs, along with many foreigners in those same communities.

NYS has been losing House seats for decades.

In 1948, NY had 47 EVs, and FLA had 8.... that was a mere 71 years ago...

In 2012, NY and FLA both had 29

In 2024, NY is projected to drop to 27, and FL should rise to 30 or 31.

There are a few conservatives coming from the Northeast, but the majority still vote for what they fled.
Foreigners have had a major impact in Virginia.
