Americans are Leaving The Blue States For Red States

[Concerned American]

You can still smell the Dem stench east of the Cascade range, they will be driving a Prius minimum 10mph under the limit.

Yeah, you can't get away from them cheese wedges either--they even invade MT, WY and SD.

A large part of OR and WA consider themselves Greater ID.

Or maybe the State of Jefferson?

Everyone should watch the "Smug" episode on South Park.

The problem is liberals fleeing all of the BS in blue states, going to Red States, but then voting for everything they just ran away from.

I've spoken with a lot of california transplants here in Texas and they know the score.
They left because of the high cost of living and taxes and moved to Texas into Master planned communities with 5K square foot homes with swimming pools and hot tubs in the backyard and they still have a shitload of money left from the sale of their homes in California.
They've told me we aren't giving that up.
There's a popular bumper sticker here in Texas that says dont California our Texas.

I'd never live somewhere based on politics. I hope all states leave and go to the south then I can live in peace with idiot Dems or hateful repubs. I don't need those types.

Or maybe the State of Jefferson?

That movement has been going since the 1930s and pretty much encompasses N. CA and S. OR west of the Cascades. Never got any traction--much like the state of Liberty in eastern WA a couple of years ago. I don't look for Greater ID to go anywhere either but the sentiment is there.

Next up for full Californication and complete shitholeism....Austin, TX and Boise, ID

People are leaving the Blue states and migrating to the Red States. The reason is that the Blue ones are practically unlivable

The ever increasing taxes, middle class and working class unfriendly government and the increasing discrimination by the socialist-esc democrats has forced people to move out of the Blue states.

High taxes, overpopulation and crime are the reasons.

Excellent commentary...

Flight from blue states to red: Americans are waving goodbye to high-tax cities where living costs are pricing them out to move to cheaper, pro-business boomtowns in the South and West​

16 April 2023

...Recent data from the US Census Bureau show how such states as New York, Illinois, and Hawaii saw their populations shrink between 2021 and 2022, while Florida, Texas, Montana, and South Dakota saw big population gains.

A similar pattern plays out at the county level. Arizona's Maricopa County was the fastest-growing in the US, adding 56,831 residents in 2022, a gain of 1.3 percent against 2021.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles County, California, posted a loss of 90,704 people....

...Americans are moving from blue states that are more economically stagnant, fiscally unhealthy states with higher tax burdens and unfriendly business climates with higher energy and housing costs and fewer economic and job opportunities,' Perry said.

They're opting for 'fiscally sound red states that are more economically vibrant, dynamic and business-friendly, with lower tax and regulatory burdens, lower energy, and housing costs and more economic and job opportunities.'

The five counties which lost the most residents are all located in high-tax states, namely California, Illinois, and New York. They have also been wracked by homelessness, drug taking and high rents and living costs.

California is the epicenter of America's homelessness crisis. About a third of the entire US homeless population — 171,521 people — is in California, and Los Angeles hosts around 65,000 of them.

By contrast, counties experiencing the largest influx of people were in Arizona, Texas, and Florida, where taxes are significantly lower. The destination areas typically have more affordable housing and fewer problems like crime and vagrancy.

According to the Tax Foundation, a nonprofit policy group, Florida, Texas, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Nevada, are especially attractive to arrivals because they do not levy taxes on workers' wages.

At the other end, California, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, and Oregon, are losing people because of their double-digit income tax rates, which wage earners have to pay on top of their federal and local taxes.

People also move around to overcome rising living costs — and the biggest expense for most people is rent.

According to RentCafe, an apartment listing service, the most affordable states in the US are Oklahoma, where the average renter spends $957 per month, Arkansas ($987 per month) and North Dakota ($1,011 per month).

America's most expensive states to rent an apartment are Massachusetts ($2,632 per month), New York ($2,552 per month) and California ($2,506 per month) – states that are seeing population declines....

We can only hope they change their Voting habits.

That's not going to happen, these people have been brainwashed.
