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 didnt 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.

Democrats escaping CA, NJ and NY are spreading like a virus, and like the virus, they’re infecting formerly republican areas with the same political idiocy, laws and taxes they fled!

We should all be keeping track of the addresses of houses or businesses with Biden signs, in our respective areas.
Just for documentation purposes of course.
Arizona is solid Is Red from the mountains to the deserts to the birthplace of Barry Goldwater.
I live in the rich white suburb of the largest city in a flyover red state. I only see BLM and Biden signs in the yards. Not a lot, but only. If these idiots only knew that they would not be spared for a second.
They are both cancer and locusts. They destroy and move on to destroy again. I wish I knew how to stop them before all the seed corn is gone so to speak.
Raleigh and Wake County are lost forever!-(
“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.”
And why is the new place nice like that? Think hard.
Utterly unenforceable
.. 10 years?
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 dont understand how that makes zero sense?
Of course they don’t understand. They’re Leftists (i.e. idiots). They can’t even begin to understand what they’re doing.
On Jan. 10, 1996, Congress enacted the Pension Source Tax Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-94). This law specifically stipulates that, “No State may impose an income tax on any retirement income of an individual who is not a resident or domiciliary of such State.” While the Source Tax law still allows individual states to define residency on their own terms, it prohibits any state from taxing non-residents for pensions earned within the state.
Not all of us are locusts...
And he’ll still blame Trump and vote for Democrats!
Bringing political pollution where ever they go.
They have invaded my neighborhood and taken over. This once solidly republican neighborhood is now almost completely democrat.
I can say from first hand experience the issue in my Dem state of NY is that my once solidly Red County is also being infiltrated by Dems. The problem is that we had/have a weak Republican County party. The committee members were comprised of mostly county and state workers who wee involved ONLY to save their jobs. Not a single one understood why the county was successful due to Republican/conservative governance. The Party chairman was more interested in cocktail parties nd a personal power trip than recruiting committee members and conservative candidates.
Thus, the party imploded, messaging stopped, values drifted, Dems are starting to get elected.
California is a super-spreader for the Communist Virus.
I know no one wants to hear this, but I live in a red suburb in a red state (Ohio). WAY too many Biden signs around. Its a bit disconcerting.
True but remember it is only a 'law', so any subsequent Congress has the right to change it. Believe me, those over-extended Pension Funds are gasping for a rewrite of this 'error'. As a tax preparer in Florida, I have made many recommendations for clients to move their 'tax home' to Florida (no personal income tax). Illinois is probably the US State that would like a change the most!
In the worst case Trump may be the last of the American Republican Presidents. The country will most likely be blue within a few more cycles. The left will have finally won the Cold War as the USA will eventually dissolve as the USSR had. Maybe our side will have the will to fight but count the GOP out as it is moving towards irrelevance. Pretty bleak but I see very few long term signals that the left will ever slow down as demographics,media and true collusion are winning as the right is meek and powerless to stop them.
Do journalists ever ask these people why they left their liberal paradise?
