I love my home state of Texas, but for gawd's sake, you people from California and New York - go home! You don't seemed to have learned one darn thing.
It cracks me up that Massachusetts is thrown in the “red” state column just because it has a governor that says he is a member of the Republican Party. MA doesn’t have a conservative government. To be fair, though, it doesn’t have a liberal government either. It’s some bizarre mix of authoritarian, technocratic, corruption. Think Salem witch trials.
There really needs to be active billboard campaigns in the Southeastern US that read, “Don’t New York my Florida!” Or, “Don’t California my Texas!” Or, “Alabama - Came for the freedom, stayed for the football.”
We moved from CA to UT two years ago, prior to Covid. Let's call it a premonition. As Gato said, it's been night-and-day to live here vs. in a Blue state during the pandemic. But sometimes we wonder if UT is conservative enough. The governor is clearly in bed with Big Tech and reminds me too much of Newsom—definitely a political operator with national ambitions. And we're concerned about the # of Californians moving to UT that don't share UT's politics around Covid and individual liberty. But the legislature has been solid. For example, UT just passed a law allowing personal belief exemptions against the Federal vaccine mandate.
Here's an article evaluating and ranking various states in the U.S. according to medical freedom, the right to homeschool, etc. You can probably guess which states are in the top 10, but there were a few surprises for me (mostly states that didn't make that cut). https://meganredshaw.substack.com/p/best-states-to-live-in-move-to
The last people out of the Karen cities won’t have to turn off the lights. They can wait for the wind to die down or a cloudy day when their “sustainable” energy won’t be running.
It's not just covid, it's productive America vs. dependent America. I suspect the democratic base is now almost entirely made up of government dependent workers and industries (this includes big tech btw). Universities, teachers, tech firms who serve the security state, healthcare (aka senior care) … these do very well in blue states, counties, and cities because they dine at the table of central bank fiat (oh did I forget wall street?). Then there is the side that makes things and actually builds productive capital. Big blue states are run by people who cannot imagine doing anything productive, they are enthralled with government regulation and control, thus, they l.o.v.e covid policy. Productive people and businesses cannot produce in covidian lands and so are moving.
I live in Florida. Born here in fact, and I am quite alarmed by this big migration here. Traffic is already bad. and we have a water supply problem that's only going to get worse if all these people move here. Housing prices are soaring, rentals are hard to find. Please, stay where you are and work to fix your state government.
No easy way to Florida from Scotland. Row to Greenland and then to Canada and get someone to smuggle the whole family on down from there? What an adventure. Either that or occupy a Hebridean Island and fortify.
Many people talk about or hint at an armed uprising of some sort. Which is easier, moving and shoring up free states or taking up arms against fellow Americans? Move and shore up red states. Defund pandemania. Hit politicrats where it hurts by moving your tax dollars out of their reach.
And let us hope the folks fleeing have the good sense to not screw up where they have landed.

Wow, it would sure be nice if free-thinking Canadians had a province to move to.
Was in FL last week (from mostly free TN) and saw a lot of "don't New York my Florida" stickers!!
Couldn’t we all pool our money, buy Puerto Rico, elect el gato as island President, el gatito as vp and live happily ever after? I have a dream…

Florida the state where I was born and raised. God bless it!

Two years ago, if you had asked if I would even consider moving out of my blue state, I would have said no way. Now it's a very different story.
