Interesting.
It sure as hell worked her in SC, that’s how we ended up with Graham...twice.
That’s exactly what has happened here in New Hampshire. The flood of liberal from Massachusetts and Connecticut have turned this once Red state a deep shade of Blue.
Flooding out of blue countries, too.
That’s the basis of the redistribution shell game - they get one to think someone else is paying for one’s own do-goodism.
The next wave moves to red states because of the draconian gun laws in their home states. Maybe not a huge number, but some, and that can make a difference.
Likewise, people living in Red States, like my kids are doing all they can to stay out of blue states, for the same reason - they’ll have to hand in their guns at the borders. So when good-looking jobs do pop up in those states, and it does happen, once in a while, they politely say “no, sorry”.
I think the author is a little too optimistic. It is sad, but true, that a lot of people move into (NC for instance) from blue states without realizing that it is their elected politicians in the blue states that have made the jobs dry up there.
They vote blue in ignorance, even while having to transplant to a red state for survival.
That’s the liberal disease.. destroy one area with their twisted logic and make it uninhabitable and then move to another.
Replace the zombies with scu*bag leftists and you have a movie plot with monsters just as ravenous as the flesh eating zombies.
IMHO
Invading Blue state leeches will wreck everything good about the red states.
Low tax, low regulation in red states means there is lots of room for the blue folks to add “just a little bit” here.
A tax increase her “for the children”, a fee increase there “for the environment” and wait until you get the ultimate swindle: the municipal bond.
Let’s build this shiny new school now for my kids now, float a 30 year bond, paid by future taxes on everyone.
I get the new school for my kids, and in 15 years when it’s falling apart, you all still have to pat for it.
I pay nothing, get the biggest benefit and you are left holding the nag.
Do that hundreds of times, for everything under the sun, and don’t forget to add in all the new public-sector employee leeches that have to be feed, and you get a blue state economy.
Make the state constitution changes necessary to control this insanity will you still can.
I left Jersey for Texas because of overburdening taxes, too much regulation on my wife’s business and for a bigger paycheck. Also didn’t hurt that I got the same 3k square foot home for 1/3 the price, 1/3 the taxes and they even threw in a discount for being a veteran.
Also feels good that on opening day, I am not dealing with wall to wall hunters shooting at the same 4 point buck as well as the loon chaining herself to said buck.
Yes, but sounds like you were a “red stater” at heart BEFORE you got to Texas, and didn’t bring the low information mindset with you.
Sadly too many move - run into just what you ran into - and yet cannot connect the dots from liberal NJ to conservative Texas, etc
They exhibit many of the characteristics of parasites.
Sounds and reads like the ALIENS in the movie “Independence Day”.
They are moving from one planet (STATE) to another and when they have consumed the reasons they came for they pack up and move on to the next.
“We are being exterminated.”
One thing that can change this is not letting the leftists run for local office for at least 10 years. Problem is they get here and immediately run for the school board.
Once they get the majority there, it’s like Ebola. They overwhelm the host, destroy it, blame someone else, then move to th next host.
I was a liberal until January 25, 1980. That was the day I heard thipose immortal words... “Welcome to Lackland AFB. Now get your lilly white a$$ off the bus and get in line.”
Locust are known to migrate to areas with vegetation when they’ve consumed or ruined most of it in their own habitats.
Hmmmm. You may be on to something here. States can set requirements for office. I think it would be constitutional.
HAH, your Damascus Road experience.....
