A recent New York Post article declared that, in a "staggering exodus," in 2022, more residents of New York moved to Florida "than any other year in history." The article reveals,
A staggering 64,577 Empire Staters exchanged their driver's licenses for the Sunshine State version last year, according to figures from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
"They come in every day," a staffer at a Jacksonville DMV office told The Post this week with a weary laugh. "I hear all the complaints. I feel like a therapist sometimes."
The transfer of a driver's license from one state to another is considered a reliable metric for relocation, since such a decision suggests the move is a lasting one. The 2022 exodus from New York to Florida is a 39% increase from 2019 — the last pre-pandemic year — and an astounding 46% increase from 2017. New York is far from alone in the exodus that is plaguing America's blue states.
CBS News also recently reported on "the states Americans are moving to — and the states they are ditching." According to the article,
[t]he states that attracted the most new residents in 2022 are Florida, Texas, North Carolina and South Carolina, followed by other states in the South and West…
Florida was the biggest net gainer last year, with about 319,000 people migrating into the state, the NAR analysis found. California lost the most residents, with 343,000 leaving the state for other regions.
The map below, using data from the National Association of Realtors, shows the "net migration by population change" for each of the 50 U.S. states. As indicated on the scale at the top of the map, blue indicates a net increase, while red indicates a net decrease.

Nice sign… but that doesn’t take into account their beliefs. They are using the discipleship model to take our children to their altars of mutilation and sacrifice. They, like other immigrants, will not accept assimilation.. they are the borg and they would rather you suffer and die if you do not convert to their religion.
They are far more serious and have inherently scorched the earth with their model, everywhere their feet strike the ground. /rant.
I think Dems just keep voting party line cuz they don’t think it makes a difference which party you vote for.
Not all of us. I personally can count 11 people, all ex Californians, all of us voted for Trump/Lake except one daughter-in-law.
And not a word here about all these states doctrination centers they call public schools, are producing hundreds of thousands of new leftist voters every single year, in every single state.
People are just too damn stupid to see the obvious.
If voters have to choose between crime, corruption, crumbling neighborhoods on one hand, and voting for fascist Nazis on the other, they will always choose the former. That is our problem.
And this surprises people? The gene of education that has been installed in people over the last 100+ years is just reaching effective highs. State and federal inflation does have one positive note in that it provides money to the governments for them to fix the things they identify and fix enough to anesthetize the people back into their fog. But with those miniscule efforts toward trying to change something they can produce to the public that is wrong, they use the money to create others that are either right for the government or a new toy like the arts. But before that the media is the tool used to put the voters back to sleep after a fool and his money are parted.
Been going on for over 100 years. It’s just reached saturation and the bad water needs more ditch.

70%-75% of naturalized USA citizens vote Democrat.
In the USA, they vote for exactly the same kind of candidates that destroyed the countries they just left.
Insanity!
My first impression - outside the USA, most human beings do not object to being poor and politically repressed as long as everyone else they know is poor and politically repressed, too.
The big question is WHO is leaving the Blue States. In the past it was mostly Leftists who went to go infest red states with the very same Leftism that was destroying the blue states.
More recently most of those leaving have been Leftugees who have given up on blue states and have made red states redder and kept purple states from turning blue. I don’t want any of the former. The latter I’d gladly welcome with open arms.
No, they’ll bring their voting habits. They are like a cancer that spreads and devours every organ until it is dead. Texas has an influx of California people and they’re all locating in blue Austin blue Dallas blue Houston blue San Antonio blue at one time that city was purple now it’s damn blue! So yes, they’ll bring their evil voting habits with them because they have a deep, deep devotion and loyalty to the Demoncrat party and John F Kennedy. Besides, a lot of them, suck off the governments taxpayer’s payroll.
Example, look what happened to temporary Congresswoman Flores from Texas …the rat replaced her again.
Blue voters will continue voting blue in red states. I’ve already seen changes in Wyoming.
Ya, or every community has to be so obnoxiously traditional as to drive the freaks away. But then that's a contradiction isn't it, "obnoxiously traditional"? How do you outdo extremists? It's not in Hank Hills nature.
The only solution I can think of are Acts of God from the Bible.
NEVADA was Conservative for years-—except for Las Vegas-—which is over run with illegal invaders.
I need this, but I need to change “a red state” to “Alaska”.
My new neighbor in FL from NH let me know straight off that she hates Trump and anybody who likes him. Set her boundaries up right away.
Offset by all the new illegals.
“But I don’t want to go back!”
“Shut up and keep swimming!”
When I lived in Arizona, we knew four or five families who had moved from California. They all brought their same liberal ideology with them and weren’t smart enough to realize that they destroyed Calif and bringing that same ideology with them would eventually destroy Az. And look what is happening in Az now.
“In the past it was mostly Leftists who went to go infest red states with the very same Leftism that was destroying the blue states.”
East coast to west coast...how the west was lost.
