So you claim there is a plan to infest other areas? Hardly, since moving is a large expense and the very thought of a plan such as this being set up and implemented by the left, in secret, is out of the question.

No, I didn't say there was a plan to infest other areas. I merely said "For all we know...". The point of the sentence was that there is no evidence in the article that anyone is leaving because of Massachussetts' liberal policies.

Well there was a famous plan for liberals to move to Vermont that had articles published about it in many publications in the early 1970s. Vermont is now one of the bluest states. There are two active movements to get conservatives and libertarians to move to other states. One for Wyoming and one for New Hampshire. None of this is secret. No reason it should be, in fact that seems a little counter-productive if the goal is to get lots of like-thinking people to move. Publicity is your friend.

The porcupine is the symbol for the New Hampshire FSP. However they were considered to academic, centralized and East Coast biased by a group of Westerners. They have formed an alternate Wyoming based Free State movement.

Both aim to start with states that have a very conservative leaning political culture and enhance it via immigration from others states. The Wyoming movement has as one of its founders Boston T. Pary who wrote a novel about what an immaginary gradual electoral take over of Wyoming might look like. It's a fun book.
