I’m sorry
He’s right about the good things for sure about California ....man from the dust bowl till 1980s everybody wanted to go to California

Nashville has a street people or campers problem as well but not on the scale of Los Angeles though Nashville city is very left oriented

Think 85% as leftist as Austin or Boulder but more blacks although this hipster influx here dilutes blacks daily

And it’s a bit seasonable the bums problem but if you have property near it then it’s an issue.....which I do in west Nashville

I think he’s moving to where I am residentially

Franklin area south of Nashville

He and I differ a good bit politically but maybe his coming south will help him understand us better

He was a never trumper and his support even now is weak

I’m surprised posters don’t know this

Plus he’s a slavery And racism is our original sin sort And he lives to demonize my southern ancestry as Nazis Which is kind of tiring as our whole culture collapses around us as we place all our hopes yet again on Orange Man The Last Warrior ...which Trump is no question despite the efforts of Shapiro in 2016

I’ll pass But you’re welcome to him

Shapiro is definitely a stereotypical neocon

Fleeing a sinking ship that his predecessors helped create with cultural liberalism

To be fair Ben is a bit culture war on some things like abortion

I wonder if he’ll come here and try to remove our confederate memorial statues and other historical stuff he may find offensive to his sensibilities

Nashville isn’t Los Angeles Jewish wise by a long shot but last count we had four congregations including Sherith Israel on West End which is our only orthodox temple and I’m assuming the one he’ll get a membership in

Folks here don’t really know Ben you can tell.....that said even I listen to him some just because he’s interesting even when he’s wrong

And his mind is quick....his thought to speech synapse is high octane

Conservative Calis flooding to other states could make a big difference over time. 4.48 million wasted Trump votes there. 100K each to VT and DE would flip 4 Senate seats to us if we could find a way to get people to settle there.

Possible, at least in the short term. In 2018, Texas natives (58% of the vote) voted 51-48% in favor of Beto, while Texas transplants (42% of the vote) voted 57-42% in favor of Cruz. In short, Texas transplants save the state from the embarrassment of electing Beto as Senator.

The concern would be (a) the children of transplants moving to the left politically, and (b) the continued influx of illegals getting on the voter rolls. Our only kid (27 now) voted 3rd party in 2016 after having moved to Texas in the summer of 2016. This year, it will be for Trump (amazing what four years of working will do to one's politics), so not all hope is lost for Texas. At least not yet.

“The concern would be (a) the children of transplants moving to the left politically,”

Unfortunately I think that’s a concern for all children.

I heard that “Beta won native Texans” factoid. I think that deserves scrutiny before being accepted.

I’m a native Californian, why would I want to move to Vermont or Delaware, they are both shithole states, just like California.

Yeah I know the exit poll was the source.

But I’m not sure I trust that poll is what I’m saying.

It’s certainly possible, if “Natives” skew Hispanic. But my guess would be Cruz won Natives by a little but won transplants by a little less than that the poll showed, haven’t lots of scum moved to the Austin area?

I personally know about 20 people from CA who are about to infest the State of Idaho. These are relatives of a friend who are up there now looking for property.

One of these soon-to-be Idaho residents said a few months ago in a plaintive desperate wail about Joe Biden “He’s a GOOOOOOD MAAAAAN!”

Cannot facepalm hard enough for some of these people.

I knew he WAS a never-Trumper. Thought he had seen the light, so to speak.

He’s a racially sensitive libertarian pretty much

He doesn’t like Trump but doesn’t want to be irrelevant

And he’s moving near me..lol from Toluca Lakes I think

Like a strong possibility literally within a few miles I hear

I’ll have to keep my eye out for a little elfin guy wearing a kippah driving a mini van

His wifey is nice looking

He irritates me but I listen to him some times and have two of his books

I hope the South rubs off on him...he has no understanding of us

I think he views us as Cossacks

Afraid of us

No question his brain is fast

But for Young fast talking steel trap brain Jewish kids with pretty wives I’ll take Stephen Miller for 1000 instead
