There is a quiet revolution happening across America and it could mark the beginning of the biggest spiritual, cultural, and political changes this country has seen since the Civil War.
New data made public earlier this week by the U.S. Census Bureau makes clear that millions of Americans are leaving Blue high-tax, high-crime, high-COVID-mandate Democratic states and moving to Red Republican states where taxes are lower, the police aren’t being defunded, and churches still thrive.
(Snip)
Growing populations typically are good news for states, but there are some potential problems, mainly having to do with the question of whether those fleeing dying Blue states will change their voting habits once settled in their new Red-state homes.
That is a legitimate fear, even though you would logically think that being fed up with the way things are trending in one place would be more than enough to persuade movers to vote differently once re-settled.
That’s where the Foundation for Economic Education’s (FEE) Fresh Start program enters the picture. (Snip)

I didn’t leave California, it left me.
That’s where the Foundation for Economic Education’s (FEE) Fresh Start program enters the picture. Fresh Start is a pilot program in Atlanta and Nashville that FEE describes thusly:
If anyone is familiar with what has happened and is happening in both cities, they’re being overrun with radical liberal hipsters and liberal Democrats from all over the country. The politicians in both states love giving away the farm to lure business, telling everyone about all the jobs that will be available. Problem is, most of the jobs go to the employees that move with the companies.
Nashville is damn near unrecognizable from what it was, even 10 years ago. And that transition is also happening in Knoxville, Chattanooga.
Take a look at Greenville, SC. Well on it’s way to being done.
Idaho had the fastest annual and cumulative population increase....a good friend of mine lives there. The state is being destroyed by Californians and other liberals that think living in the mountains would be cute. And they’re driving out the locals at record paces, because they can’t keep up with the tax increases. Tax increases for no reasons.
As long as they don’t bring their blue voting habits with them.
Yeah problem is, the commies who are leaving blue states and moving to red states are taking their communism with them and turning those red states blue
Those newcomers will most surely pollute the politics of their new state.
Re blue voting habits:
They are, will, and do.
It’s the old Free State project, but in reverse.
Like cockroaches, they destroy one place then move to another.
To change the direction of the country, the mindset needs to be changed… and that’s not happening.
This could end up being the final nail in the coffin for a lot of red states. Illegal immigration being the main driver that has taken the car to the cliff, blue state citizens pushing it over. It’s happening in AZ with liberals getting elected in regional and local elections for mayor, running school boards, etc.
Nashville is damn near unrecognizable from what it was, even 10 years ago.
**************
Same could be said for the country in general. We are nowhere near the country we once were. Demographics and culture have changed radically.
Nashville’s been gone a long time. It’s the country version of hollywood. Atlanta went downhill after hosting the Olympics and GA being hollywood friendly. It was already the hub of the South but hosting the Olympics changes a place. Puts it on the map in a big way.
It would be nice if blue state Republicans would move to Maine, Rhode Island, Delaware and Vermont and worked on changing those states’ voting patterns.
“Yeah problem is, the commies who are leaving blue states and moving to red states are taking their communism with them and turning those red states blue”
Some commies leave (a small minority) but they can “turn those red states blue”.
If that’s true then the majority of Americans are commies and they will rule anyway.
The only thing that’s going to change the mindset is an act of God, literally.
I would suggest that these people split off from their former slave states like WV. No reason to cede their own land to slavers.
My daughter on 20 acres in North Idaho is very worried. City council being bribed to mandate five acres instead of ten acres required now to build on. City Councils are apparently the most stupid and bribable idiots on the planet. Lovely 40-acre forest down the road from her house is attracting builders. They want to put 30 houses there. Not enough water, roads insufficient, and who wants all those liberal idiots? Value of her house has gone up x 10 times but they’d rather just continue living in it after they retire. Beautiful 3-3 house.
Many blue state people heading to red states. Adding polluted water to fresh water turns it into polluted water.
The only reason Hollywood is here is because the corrupt SOBs in the legislature is given it $800,000,000 a year in tax breaks, never voted on by the citizens, and the Right To Work laws so it doesn’t have to pay the union salaries. The only folks that want Hollywood are the liberals and the politicians. Everyone else hates them and wishes they would be gone.
And, of course, Kemp, et al bragging about all the companies moving in. Interesting part of it, though, every time he announces a business coming, the locals are all caught by surprise. No one knows anything about these deals. Happening right now in the very small town of Social Circle, Ga. Where Rivian says they’re building a monstrosity of a EV plant. The residents are pissed. They had no input. Promising 7500 jobs in a factory that builds cars with robots and they have 2 other plants in the US. Most of those jobs will go to folks NOT from Georgia. Funny to hear the local politicians talk about how they’ll be building training centers to teach the Georgia Good Ol’ Boy Deer Hunter how to build an SUV that has a base price of $75k. All while China control 80% of the worlds lithium. But, as long as the politicians get their envelopes, that is all that matters.
Additionally, they bragged that a huge development is going in on the 316 corridor. A corridor that is a disaster, traffic wise. The brag that it’ll bring 1000s of jobs and add about 100k folks. It may seem like there’s a lot of land, but there is NO way the infrastructure can handle anything remotely close to those numbers. At one point they got one of the people involved in the deal to admit that they didn’t tell anyone about what was coming so they could get the land cheaper. Amazing. Politicians and real estate brokers ripping off their constituents and neighbors.
The people in NE Oregon want to split off and join Idaho.
And that’s the problem. They can’t help themselves. They’re worse than drug addicts.
City Councils are apparently the most stupid and bribable idiots on the planet.......Greedy and corrupt. The only reason they get that way is because folks don’t want to hold their buddies accountable as they get thrown under a bus. And of course, the developers, builders and real estate brokers intoxicate them with more tax revenue to build parks, etc.
I guess some folks are just that easy and dumb. When all that happens is places get destroyed.
