[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those rooting for an exodus from blue states, you know that means that there will eventually be a shift in voting patterns in red states, right? It's not like the blue-staters are suddenly going to turn MAGA when they move to red states. They will bring their more progressive politics with them and, over time, bring about political change. For example, more liberal voters moving to the South and West may have tipped Georgia and Arizona to Joe Biden in the 2020 election. Be careful what you wish for...[/quote]

Nobody is rooting for an exodus from blue states. 
We are just stating facts.  
[b]I also don't understand those who move to get away from ridiculous policies that have caused a decline in the standard of living in blue cities [/b]and then vote for the same kind of politicians who would enact similar policies in their new home.  That is the definition of insanity.  [/quote]

They're not moving away due to "ridiculous policies." They're moving away due to lower taxes, cheaper housing, and lower cost of living in red states. But the lower cost of living comes at the expense of public services, infrastructure, and public education, which are inferior in most red states. Eventually, the transplants will change the areas they have moved to, and that change will probably be in a more progressive direction. [/quote]
Most likely if the people vote to increase public services, infrastructure, and education, they will probably increase taxes and housing costs will go up for these newly progressive areas and lead to a higher cost of living. But ultimately, that will cause the inequitable outcomes as many will not be able to afford this newly progressive center of living, and so then the social policies will happen next. This will drive taxes even higher. It may even result in more lenient laws to prevent prosecution of the inequitable outcomes the new progressive policies and higher COL efforts created.

Good news is they can just leave when they realize its just too expensive and unsafe. [/quote]
