Oh, I can believe how much as I live in the Vampire State of NY. Granted I live in Western NY (Buffalo area) but it is pretty blue here except in some of the burbs sort of like Cali.

That’s the problem with New York (Illinois, Oregon, Washington, and California also come to mind).
It doesn’t matter if you’re 350 miles distant on the shores of the great lakes — if you live within New York states boundaries, you’ll always be ruled by the leftist “New York City” mentality. Because there are so many of them, it’s almost impossible for conservatives to have a voice in state government, beyond a few squeaks here and there.
The only way to “regain one’s conservative voice” is to move to a state where there is a preponderance of conservatives, and to join their chorus.
I predict that during the next three decades, we are going to see waves of such movement. I will coin the term “The American Great Trek”, as conservatives flee to those areas of the country where they can live in uncontested majorities amongst themselves. (Aside: this will be not unlike another “trek” that took place decades ago in South Africa, hence, the name).
I predict these areas will come to be the “Conservative Homelands” in a rapidly-balkanizing North America....
