If You Were Wanting To Move To Another State Where Would You Move To?

[Independent thinker]

Just wondering: If you were interested in moving to another state would the politics of your new state matter much? Where would you leave and where would you go? Pick any or all answers. If you want list the specific state you would move out of and the specific state you would move to.

Living in PA its neither totally red or blue state wide. Some very red areas, some very blue areas.

Same here in Kentucky. We are called a red state but that is very far from the truth. We have a lot of rural areas which are red but the big cities areas are deep dark blue. One fact most people don't realize is that state government for decades and decades and probably centuries, has mostly always been deep dark blue while we usually voted red in national elections. Only recently has state government actually turned red. So, when people brag about our governor being a blue governor of a red state, that has actually been the norm for a very long time, not like our state flipped parties for governor as being some kind of great achievement.

When I was just 8 and 9 in early 1960's my family lived in KY for a couple of years just outside Louisville. One of the first political ads I recall was a Dem running for Gov in 1963 Ned Brethit was his name of I recall.

Want to retire south.....screw MN

I might consider North Carolina. The politics of a place don't concern me, though.

It really doesn't make much difference to me if 54% of the people I encounter agree with me on any given subject or 46%

It's even the same here in California. Trump won more than a third of the vote in 2024.

Geographically, there's a thin strip of intensely blue cities along the coast, and the rest of the state is purple-to-red. Sadly, most of the people live along the coast (including me) which is why (along with out-and-out gerrymandering) the Dems have a supermajority here.

I live in a place where 80-90% of the people I encounter disagree with me politically. Who cares?

Already did, from a blue state, WA, to a red state, SD.

Smartest thing I ever did. I can actually be social here, without bothering to have to carefully meter my words. There are no speech police here! It was such a relief.

Yep.

District 1 is an example of gerrymandering to an absolutely corrupt level. People in the far Northwest California are a LONG way away from Marin Country and the issues relative to the two places are completely different.

When I first moved here in 1984 all of the media would act like the winner of the democratic primary was the governor, not even bothering to mention that that person would be running against the Republican primary winner in the general election in November. And, they were right. Republicans had no chance.

You could always move to Tehama county if it did make a difference!

When 95% are democrat you’ll reconsider your choice. That’s what democrats unwittingly do. They take over an area, destroy it with their policy and then move away and repeat the process. They are like swarms of ravaging, migrating locusts.

I like the four seasons but not the cold Wisconsin winters. Any suggestions?

 

[initforme]

I love the snow and cold the older I get.

 

[IDIOCRACY]

I'd move to a blue state, specifically California so I can get Medi-Cal on your dime toward a sex change. Plus I enjoy turmoil, peace just isn't something I can appreciate.

There are states further South that have all four seasons but don't get as cold as Wisconsin. I live in Kentucky though and even here it seems like winter is six months long. My favorite seasons are spring and fall, which only seem like one month long, which makes summer four months long.

We have to keep a close eye on them here.

I think they might actually have reached 3 percent of the population in the county I live in.

Might have to use the Kristi Noem dog shooting philosophy on them if they get too out of control.
