But what are these transplants doing to their new homes?
What are those states doing for them?
Leaving them alone.
Leave your politics at the border.......unless you’re a Conservative Republican.......
Holy Cow! The title question clearly shows that the author is under the impression that states exist to provide goodies to their non-working citizens. They just don’t understand why people leave the blue states.
I moved from MA to NH last week - I don’t want NH to do anything for me but leave me alone and let me live my life and raise my children in freedom. Simple.
there seems to have been no fix made to date for Indiana’s 2015 (Gov.: Pence) fix-flawed RFRA law:

if so then perhaps this should be mentioned along with every instance in which the name Pence comes up for any future political office.
That map reminds me of the periodic table of elements….
Doing for them!?!? Will these ass wipes ever figure this out?
An excellent article worth a re-read.
To those who point out that they merely wish to be left alone; were it that easy! Being left the #%! alone is the essence of liberty. It has to be worked for. There is always some tyrant or bureaucrats or cronies who are trying their best to NOT leave you alone.
The author nails it: most gop “leaders” want to get power and then sit on their asses.
What are they doing?
Providing relatively crime free environments.
They provide police departments that actually enforce the law.
They protect their citizens from illegal mandates.
They allow you to make a living.
They generally have lower COVID rates but don’t have the onerous lockdowns.
They educate the students.
They don’t indoctrinate their students.
They allow citizens to arm & protect themselves.
Their citizens tend to be friendlier and more neighborly.
What are those states doing for them?
Staying the phoook out of the way.
Hmm, the New York black-out of 1977 is only a little blip on that population growth chart. I expected more.
The fifties were sure a happy decade. My birth year takes the cake. Thanks Mom & Dad.
Looks like NY & CA have the blues, but Idaho is still a happy place!
Lived in small town Indiana all my life. Can go to any bar, restaurant or stores within having to “show my papers” or wear or stupid, worthless f’n face diaper. The cops in my town of 11,000 folks still arrest shoplifters and druggies regularly and if we had any car jackers that managed to not get the asses shot be the owner, the cops would arrest them too. And the county prosecuting attorney would bring them up on charges. AND they wouldn’t get out on bail. And as an aside, Indiana has a 5.1 BILLION dollar budget SURPLUS. Yeah, we got cold winters and hot and humid summers but so does Illinois. The difference is Indiana has competent government.
bkmk
I hope it’s nothing. States should leave people alone as much as possible.
Only a leftist would ask “what is the state doing for them?”

Well, in Texas, we are becoming places of excellence. We are aggressively attracting semiconductor plants, Tesla, SpaceX, and countless HQs of fairly based companies (and some that need some Texas charm...). I am optimistic that we are attracting more people that don’t want to turn Texas blue. We are getting many who are fed up with the leftists.
A better question is, “What are those states NOT doing TO them?”
They are not being welcomed and so far what they have done is raise appraisal values and increase our taxes.
Welcomed? Not in the least
