I'm a refugee from a Blue State. Twenty seven years ago, I was a homeless single mom in San Francisco. When my baby arrived prematurely, my "progressive" roommates - who never missed a rally for any and all kinds of "human rights"- said I could not bring the baby home from the hospital to the apartment. I was a subtenant and had no legal right to challenge them. So I walked the streets of the Tenderloin, leaking milk with my 5 pound baby crying in my arms, praying an SRO would allow us to stay and let me pay a monthly rate (The Hotel Union on Geary Street finally came through for us - I think because it was owned by a large Indian family and the old man who owned the place took pity on us).

I remember my friend Millie saying at the time (in her slow Southern drawl) "This would never happen in Alabama."

And she was right. This would never happen in Alabama.

My baby and I got the HELL out of San Francisco, and I am a happy homeowner in Texas today. I don't even have a mortgage!

The 2030 census will be a reckoning for Blue States and their hypocritical policies. If you are a working or middle class person, you cannot live a dignified life in a Blue State or a Blue city. That means Blue states will be losing House seats they may never get back. They will also be losing influence in the electoral college.

Good!

I will never forget the smug hypocrisy and lack of compassion I experienced as a working class mom among the "kind" people. The 2030 census can't come too soon for me.

Texas or California? That's not a hard choice

I read it on the internet and well, it has to be true.

Virtue signaling is all about ego. It is simply a way for those with insecurities to receive validation and praise for their imaginary moral superiority.

It has nothing to do with actually wanting to improve the lives of other people.

Yes, must be fake.

No one is leaving blue states.

That anecdote is 100% false.

People are flocking to blue states where everything is perfect.

A mass exodus to southern states could spell good news for Democrats, experts tell Newsweek.

Blue States’ Demographic Nightmare

Recent migration numbers emphasize how population gains, economic growth, and political power are shifting toward Republican strongholds.

www.city-journal.org

Migration Trends from Blue StatesOverview of Population Movement​

Recent trends indicate a significant outflow of residents from Democratic-leaning "blue states" to Republican-leaning "red states." This migration is primarily driven by several key factors:

• Lower Taxes: Many individuals and families are seeking states with more favorable tax policies.
• Economic Opportunities: Red states often present better job prospects and economic growth, attracting those looking for employment.
• Fewer COVID-19 Restrictions: The handling of the pandemic has influenced people's decisions, with many preferring states that imposed fewer restrictions.

States Experiencing Outflow

The following table highlights some of the major blue states losing residents:

California	229,000
New York	Significant loss
Illinois	Significant loss
New Jersey	Significant loss
Massachusetts	Significant loss

States Gaining Residents
Conversely, the following red states are experiencing population growth:

Texas	Economic opportunities, lower taxes
Florida	Favorable climate, job growth
Tennessee	Low cost of living, job opportunities
South Carolina	Attractive tax policies, job growth

Conclusion
The migration from blue states to red states reflects broader demographic shifts influenced by economic, political, and social factors. As these trends continue, they may reshape the political landscape and economic conditions in both types of states.

Now now they think everything is just peachy lol

 

[Independent thinker]

I read it on the internet and well, it has to be true.

Oh please. There are hundreds of such stories, backed up in many ways by facts showing an exodus of residents from blue states to red states. Your denial of that is pathetic.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Now now they think everything is just peachy lol

Someone posts an anecdote from the internet that is in line with publicly available data, and DF lefties claim it is a lie.

LA county had the greatest decrease in population in 2025 of any county in the nation.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Oh please. There are hundreds of such stories, backed up in many ways by facts showing an exodus of residents from blue states to red states. Your denial of that is pathetic.

That poster is useless.

Data backs up the story is likely true.

I can tell a story about a political message board I post to called USMB that has countless numbers of brain dead lefty cult sheep who constantly lie and also make inane posts.

MUST BE A LIE BECAUSE IT IS ON THE INTERNET!

I HATE the Left.
Their phony compassion, their lying, their hypocrisy, their mental illness.
All of it.

You see it on here daily.

The refusal to conduct a post mortem on the whole COVID debacle is incredible.

No education. No contrition. No introspection.

Even after so many people who took the Trump shot also got COVID. FLAT OUT PROVEN WE WERE LIED TO.

The lefty cult DOES NOT CARE.

They do not care that it was a lie Putin and Trump colluded to steal 2016.
The Hunter Biden laptop was a Putin FAKE.
JOE BIDEN IS IN PERFECT COGNITIVE HEALTH.
THE BORDER IS SECURE.
BRIAN COLE IS WHITE.

It goes on and on and on.
