PHOENIX - When Katherine Rutigliano and her husband moved away from San Francisco in 2013, they figured they would never meet a fellow Democrat again.
But housing was affordable around Phoenix. No more cramped condo. No more suffocating mortgage payments. No more tech-boom exhaustion. Everything would be easier for them and their kids in the suburbs - everything, that is, except talking politics with neighbors.
Then came an unexpected visitor at the door. It was a Democratic volunteer rounding up votes ahead of the 2018 Senate election. Rutigliano invited her in and inspected the map on her iPad. She was elated to see all the flashing lights that marked where Democrats lived in her stucco neighborhood on the northern edge of Phoenix.
These San Francisco transplants were not alone.
“It was like Christmas,” said Rutigliano, 37, a mother of three and trained chef who is now sending out mailers for local Democrats.
Rutigliano didn’t realize it, but she had moved her family to what is now the front lines in American politics. Once firmly in Republican control, suburbs like hers are increasingly politically divided - a rare common ground shared by Republicans and Democrats.
As such, they are poised to decide not just who wins the White House this year but also who controls the Senate and the contours of the debate over guns, immigration, work, schools, housing and health care for years to come.

They’re like locusts.
The cancer spreads.
F one state up let’s find another to F up
We need more walls.
Okay,so they moved away from San Francisco because of the living conditions and the policies which created those conditions, and they want to continue voting that way? And they don’t understand how that makes zero sense?
Dem morons hell-bent on dragging their bad policies to their new state. The very policies that made their old state unlivable and unaffordable.
Not sure what it will take for conservatives to formulate plans for dividing the country, but I think we may find out after the November election.
Sad but true. I have friends with a very nice suburban house who are mortified by how many Biden signs have popped-up in the neighborhood.
Just more stupid.
Whatever it is, I want a wall with guards.
>>Perfect. These RATs escape the hellhole of San Francisco and the first thing they do is whine that there aren’t any liberals to talk to.<<
Then they crap all over their new nest which causes the makers to flee and more liberals to come in to pile the crap deeper.
Frankly, I am glad I do not have kids nor will I live to see the totalitarian state the liberals will build — the last vestige of freedom’s light will be dimmed forever inside a generation.
“Dem morons hell-bent on dragging their bad policies to their new state. The very policies that made their old state unlivable and unaffordable.”
And that is the makings of a civil war. People generally don’t want to fight, and will avoid fighting if at all possible. But, these vermin come to places that have been well run, and will foul them in any number of ways.
Turn my hometown into a place like San Francisco, and I have 3 choices:
Live with it. Watch my city become unlivable.
Move out of the vermin’s reach, for now.
Fight. Desperate people will organize.
California is thinking about passing a law that says when you leave the state, you have to pay CA taxes for 10 years.
At first, I was incensed.
Then, I had an epiphany. Why not? Why not make all these locusts who leave CA, after having infected if, continue to pay the taxes that they voted for? I know that non-locusts will be affected as well. But, let’s think about this. These idiots would go to the Red States and be reminded why they left their old state and what is at stake in their new state.
They really need to experience the joys of Section 8 housing on their block.
Yes I have a very liberal friend who voted for Dems always his whole life in CA. Hates Trump.
Then this year decided to retire to Sparks NV due to the lower taxes in retirement. He’s also bragging about how he can go to the gym now in NV (and CA still can’t). We who he has left behind in CA, thanks to his votes for high taxes and voting for Newsom, are left with the high taxes and tyranny.
It’s very hypocritical.
LIBs/DIMs/leftists are malignancies on civil society everywhere. Read history.
