Josh Hawley says abortion ruling will push people to move states, strengthening the GOP
The Kansas City Star ^ | July 6, 2022 | Daniel Desrochers

He predicted that people will base where they live on whether abortion is allowed and that the decision will end up redrawing demographic lines across the country.

“I would predict that the effect is going to be that more and more red states are going to become more red, purple states are going to become red and the blue states are going to get a lot bluer,” Hawley said. “And I would look for Republicans as a result of this to extend their strength in the Electoral College. And that’s very good news.”

This is where Hawley's head was in July, that red states would become redder, purple states would turn red, blue states would get bluer, and that Republicans would win because Roe was overturned.

Well, I could see that regarding states that allow abortion on demand up to birth and states that use tax payers funds for abortions. I would move from a state like that—who wants to live amongst people who would murder a 9 month old baby.

If anything, people first start moving to states with economic freedom; low taxes and regulations, less covid restrictions, etc. Usually states like that have correlating laws, such as tough on crime, self defense, and ergo, life affirming laws.

I firmly believe this Country will continue to Balkanize along political and cultural lines. Blue states will get bluer, Red redder and strong governorships will simply ignore or nullify anything that comes out of DC passed by the opposite party. The Feds don’t have enough muscle to enforce those things. I’m honestly ok with that. I have no desire to coexist with lunatics that think Men can have menstrual periods.

People will move for opportunity, freedom, and to be near family members. I personally think that the entire GOP response to Roe being overturned sucked eggs.

What I believe would work is for politicians to represent their constituents, and to legislate on issues around which there is consensus (and on that score, to legislate WITH the consensus, not against it). I think these guys just need to do their jobs.

I’ve got to disagree with Hawley, a large % of Americans if they are in States that don’t allow abortions are still with in driving distances of states that allow it, and I will make exceptions for States like Texas, because it is so big and I have no clue what their status is on Abortion. And I will make exceptions for states like Alaska and Hawaii which I also do not know the status of in regards to abortion.

You’re right. I really do wonder how that sentiment of his made it out of his office without someone challenging it. I think that when they look back on this election, what they are going to see is as fine of an example of groupthink as you will ever find.

Actually, it’s only the voter fraud and ballot harvesting that mattered, not abortion. Every election from now on will be decided by essentially illegal and in democratic voting.

I said something just like this less than a week ago. Thanks for watching, Hi Josh.

Only I didn’t frame my hypothesis centered around abortion, although I don’t reject his premise. Mine was about red states with republican governors and majority legislature and courts, like Ohio and Florida. They will get redder because the fraud is not permitted there, and the blue freaks will end up leaving over the political (abortion being one of, if not the biggest) issues.

The blue states will obviously get bluer. Not only do they benefit from blues leaving red states, but their governments have institutionalized the facilitation of election creativity.

The problem here is the purple states.
Let’s look at Arizona. They may have appeared to be purple, but they run their elections like blue bozos. The dark-staters, the foreign actors, and the globalists went after the MAGA types hard, and they had lots of extra overtime to work it.

How Wisconsin Streetfighters Disrupted a Democrat Ballot-Gathering System
American Thinker ^ | 14 Nov, 2022 | Jay Valentine
Posted on 11/14/2022, 7:51:20 AM by MtnClimber

Ballots and votes.

These two words seem synonymous, yet they imply opposite ways to choose a government.

SNIP

Clever leftists built a national system, ERIC, now used by about 30 states, to make sure voter rolls protected phantoms. Using in-your-face messaging, ERIC claimed it was a resource to keep voter rolls clean.

No friction, no challenge.

After 2020, everything changed.

The once frictionless ballot-gathering apparatus was challenged in every state as voter integrity teams, citizens at kitchen tables, picked apart voter rolls. They quickly found tens of thousands of dead or moved voters. There were innumerable addresses where no voter could possibly live.

For the first time, there was pushback against ballot gathering. Citizens demanded that voter rolls be cleaned, addresses be real. In too many cases, affidavits with photographs of an empty lot where several voters claimed to live failed to convince a judge to action.

Not in Wisconsin.

Again, from the Conservative Treehouse:

Wisconsin tried essentially the same thing as PA and MI, except there was already residual election roll cleanup (hurts the ballot team) and strong election day turn our (helps vote team).

A Wisconsin voter integrity team found, after reviewing scores of counties and localities, that the number of ballots and votes cast lined up.

Democrats know how many votes they need and cast them during the forever campaign time in the name of phantoms. Their ballot inventory comes from real ballots sent to fake addresses, then collected by someone — never a Republican — and voted.

SNIP

For the ballot-gathering strategy to work, Democrats need tens of thousands of phantom addresses and voters. A few is not enough. Without thousands of loose ballots tied to phantoms, the edifice comes crashing down.

Pretty dumb, for sure. We have these things called cars now. They let people drive from say Huntsville, Alabama to Metropolis, Illinois in about 5 hours to get all the abortions they want. No need to move.

I’ve got news for Josh, all due respect. The gop is strong. As strong as Florida, where the local leadership is either very strong, or is simply allowed to do the Will of the people.

The red tsunami exists. It is stifled by leadership that is complicit in complete election interference. Also, the cities are allowed to choose leadership for the states. There needs to be electoral college type voting within each state for Tge same reason there is for federal elections

California and New York are delivering red waves in rural and suburban areas.

Most Americans are rooted to where they live, by family, jobs/careers, finances and friends. They are not rooted to where they live by abortion practices.
