Over half a million Californians left the state last year. Here's where they went

Texas welcomed most of those Golden State transplants — 82,235 Californians moved to the Lone Star State in 2019. Arizona was the second-most popular destination, with 59,713 former Californians moving there. Third comes Washington state, with 46,791 Californians heading up the Pacific coast.

While Texas saw most immigrants from California, Nevada had the largest chunk per capita — 1,552 of every 100,000 Nevadans had relocated from California last year.

Like a virus, these Californians are infecting these erstwhile reliable GOP states. In time, they'll turn these states into the s***holes they fled.

[GreyFriar]

Yes, they fled for better economies but are taking their socialist/communist values with them.

[SgtHooper]

Texas will be blue in 20 years

[Dawgreg]

That’s what I’m afraid of and New Englanders who obviously have no sense infecting Florida. I think we ought to have a pledge of allegiance that you’ll vote Red if you move to a Red State.......;)

[Osage Orange]

You have to know....many Cali's are Conservative.

I am and left in 88-89,,,,

I've friends still there...that are very Conservative.

You might be surprised at how many people in Cali are Conservative....

[BunnySlippers]

Except many of us are Conservative. I’ve had some dear friends leave ... and I share politics with all of them!

[mabarker1]

Not if we start thinning the Herd now😜

[NohSpinZone]

I am a Californian and very conservative. I remember when this state voted for Reagan and multiple Republican governors. I’m afraid it’s not just the conservatives who are fleeing though. I think it’s numbnut Dimms who can’t put two and two together and voting for the same socialist policies after they leave.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Although outnumbered we have tens of millions of conservatives here.

[Michael.SF.]

Not all of us are: My wife and I, My brother, His son and wife, my two son's and their wives, have all moved to AZ from CA.

All of us voted for Trump.

Figures. Libtard scumbag filth... that would explain why there were so many Demonics on down ballot races versus decades with Republicans running unopposed.

[mabarker1]

They are coming for the WATER TOO.

And to try to grow plush lawns in the Hill Country...

[kaehurowing]

Like viruses spreading disease into other states.

[sissyjane]

I wish I could take my conservative self out of here, but my husband won’t move away from our grown up sons. I hate it here in CA.

[ought-six]

I’m conservative and I got the hell out of California in 1979.

[hal ogen]

To any cali’s who are moving...if you are a LIB loser, please relocate elsewhere. Where ever you are moving to...you aren’t wanted. Normal people see you as infectious disease. Try repenting and changing.

[Tennessee Nana]

hope they were worth a lot of money and took all their lovely tax money with them...

Dig deep Gavin pay for your pet illegal aliens out of your own pocket...

[Bonemaker]

Stage 4 country cancer..it’s metastisizing. I know, I know...what’s the break out of conservatives vs scum who are moving out. Ask Arizona.

Not if we can explain properly to hispanics about the evils of the Democratic party and how it’s the same as the hell holes that they or their ancestors came here to escape!

Mark my words, eventually Hispanics will be considered white, just as all other ethnic groups have been in American (italians, jews, polish, Irish, etc)
