I think the point is that when everyone moves away from fallen states, especially if they are proud to be from that state, they leave it with the same plight as Mexico.
I hear ya, but that can’t be applied verbatim. Just because I’m proud of where I come from doesn’t mean I should... or will accept... any prejudice towards moving to another state in the Union.
Very true. But a large chunk of those Deep South liberals are... ex-Californians who came for good schools and a safe place to raise a family and then immediately set to work recasting everything as it was in the place from which they fled. If it is any consolation, I have witnessed the same phenomenon with Ohioans in the 1980s, Chicagans in the 1990s, and New Yorkers in the 2000s.
Same shut happening to my town here in Florida. They've pushed out that locals with their retirement funds and have made housing unaffordable. Only way to live here is to not live here.
Agreed. Navy Federal moved most of its employees to NW Florida from northern Virginia. This almost put Gillium into office. Local government wants the tax base and could careless of it's own citizens.
You have no idea how many software startups exist within a 10 mile radius of Georgia Tech campus. They live on programmers who can move from San Francisco to Atl and upgrade from a studio in shit row to a 4 Br McMansion in a nice suburb a 25 minute drive away.
Can confirm. Am Californian. I advocate for free helicopter rides. Moving to GA next month. Part of my process for deciding was bouncing the idea off the lefties I know. When they recoiled in horror and said "eeeewwww" I knew that they would not follow me.
I'm around lots of them. They scorn Texas just as much, but some are forced to move for work. They do not want to live anywhere near any conservatives.
The ones I'm around talk a lot about Portland, Boulder CO, and lately, some have been talking about Missoula Montana. Montana may be in trouble. At times I've heard CA progressives talk about Asheville NC, but I think it's more speculative. I know a number of progressives who have actually moved to Portland and Boulder.
The conservative exodus from California followed mostly the move of California business to Texas in the 90s and 2000s. Guess what color Texas' Congressional delegation was before this move of business and Californians to Texas? Did you say "Blue"? Correct. And guess what color Texas' Congressional delegation was after this move? Did you say "Red"? Correct again.
The move of Californians to Texas played a major role in turning Texas red. Texans don't want to admit this, because they'd have to admit to their shameful past of being solidly Democrat and their complicity in elevating one of the most destructive Presidents in our history, Lyndon B. Johnson, the Father of the Great Society, into power.
Reminds me of Murray's book Coming Apart. They will just keep making their bubble more and more detached from the rest of humanity by separating themselves.
You're in for a shock. I live in California and some of the crazier liberals here see an opportunity to colonize conservative areas and turn them purple (or blue) while enjoying a cheaper cost of living. Many ex-Californians are disaffected conservatives, but the opposite exists in abundance.
I'm in for no shock, because frankly, I don't think you really know any California progressives who want to colonize conservative areas. They loathe and detest conservatives.
As I said, I'm actually around lots of them in a certain progressive rich environment, and I have family members who are progressives. A couple from this pool just left San Diego for Boulder because . . . they couldn't stand seeing any public support for Trump. In San Diego.
I said conservative areas. You know, like South Carolina or Texas. Not Bend, Oregon. Holy smokes. California's progressives have always seen Oregon as a destination. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of Oregonians are first or second gen immigrants from CA.
And, I'd bet that whatever former CA libs have moved to Bend moved to Portland first. They're just spreading out from the cities, just like they're doing in California, by the way, spreading into the red hill country east of Sacramento. They never said, "I'm going to move to a conservative area to turn it blue."
Of course not. The idea that California's progressives want to move to the South is ludicrous on its face, even setting aside my relatively large sample size of experience with California's progressives.
Look, buddy. I lived in the South for years. I love many things about it. But even I would not want to live there again.
Well that may be true for your sample, but I grew up in the South and all the city areas are being bought out and gentrified by rich liberals from Commiefornia, New York, New Jersey, etc. They can come in and buy two houses for the same price of what they were spending on rent from where they came from. I currently live in West Virginia and I'm constantly trying to convince my conservative friends to move out where I am to prevent all the rich city liberals from moving out there for the cheap housing. Take Alabama for example. Huntsville is quickly going blue because a lot of tech companies and government agencies are moving there and they bring all their blue voters with them.
They may not want to live there, but they move there all the same. I've also known several that actually did want to move there for the reasons another user stated (safer neighborhoods, better schools, less crime, cheaper housing, etc.) and continued voting for the same Democrat shit.
I have read that some black Californians are returning to the South, mostly Atlanta. They came out to CA largely during WW2, and now they're returning home. I don't know what the numbers are here. O.K. If that's what some people are claiming, fine.
But I don't consider them California progressives. They're black people who vote for Dems, so long as they're not gay. I'm talking about white, middle-class progressives. They do not want to move to conservative areas, especially the South.
Every metro area votes blue and becomes a bastion...
1/3 of California voters voted for Trump. If it weren't for the winner take all system in most states, he would have had even more electoral votes because Dem metropolitan cities that give them state majorities and super majorities inhibit their ability to spread out and gain more electoral votes but allow them to dominate state politics and ruin them. States don't want to apportion their electoral votes, it would mostly benefit republicans just like the popular vote, though inherently useless, usually favors the Dems.
However, when combining open borders, illegal voters, same day voter registration, mail in voting, ballot harvesting, and the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact they are not only trying to bypass the electoral college and forsake the constitution, but secure their position almost indefinitely. They are basically selling out our entire country to turn it into a garbage pile so they can sit on top and live cozy.
If I'm being frank, I feel the same for black people on thedonald. There are some serious blanket statements nowadays about "blacks," instead of ghetto gang-style blacks.
We on the right are good for having the mindset of letting some places be shitholes while we move away to other places. That's fine and dandy, but at some point, we're going to run out of new places to go to. At some point, we have to actually defend ourselves and save our homes and homelands.
I will say though, in the case of cities like NYC or Chicago, there's very little that can be done, since there's not even a conservative nationalist to throw support behind. In the last Chicago election, there was a dozen candidates, but in the final vote, it came down to... 2 COMMUNIST BLACK LESBIANS! Not even joking.
It's very difficult, and as someone stuck in a blue hellhole, I sympathize with those stuck in shithole cities.
Agreed. I live in the commiewealth of Massachusetts and most of the time the leftists run completely unopposed. It's very rare to have any option, let alone a "Republican" one. (Most are Rhinos anyway) Feels bad man. I would love to move but am currently trapped by circumstances.
its frustrating when people (sometimes here) assume everyone in NYC is a leftist loser. millions of patriots here also
Cary, NC = Containment Area for Relocated Yankees. Raleigh is same.
For the record, when I move there you won’t even be able to tell. Proud to be a Yankee but not retarded. Just want to be left alone.
They'll be able to tell, because you'll talk funny. 😁
Just curious how you could be proud to be a Yankee, but move to NC? Like, shouldn't you 'convert' or be proud of where you live?
I'm near Charlotte, btw.
Proud because I’m an American and we kicked rebel ass once before.
Proud because I come from one of the original 13 Colonies.
Am I not allowed to move to NC because I support our union? Will you be there at the gates to stop me?
Convert? No. I’m American and always will be.
I think the point is that when everyone moves away from fallen states, especially if they are proud to be from that state, they leave it with the same plight as Mexico.

Any notion of Yankeeism can just ligma.
Cary > Chapel Hill > Carrboro
Lots of liberal cucks down in CHS as well
Asheville

Agreed. Navy Federal moved most of its employees to NW Florida from northern Virginia. This almost put Gillium into office. Local government wants the tax base and could careless of it's own citizens.
No liberals from California want to live in the South. You're running a program.
You have no idea how many software startups exist within a 10 mile radius of Georgia Tech campus. They live on programmers who can move from San Francisco to Atl and upgrade from a studio in shit row to a 4 Br McMansion in a nice suburb a 25 minute drive away.
Yeah, George Tech, a real magnet for Silicon Valley tech talent. It's the "Tech" in the name that cinched it, I'm sure.
Lol, I went to Georgia Tech and you're ignorant if you don't think it attracts major Silicon Valley talent
Can confirm. Great school
Ah, a butt hurt alumnus. Sorry, man.
Can confirm. Am Californian. I advocate for free helicopter rides. Moving to GA next month. Part of my process for deciding was bouncing the idea off the lefties I know. When they recoiled in horror and said "eeeewwww" I knew that they would not follow me.
It will be my first stop. My son and I are history geeks 👍
If Protesters dont block that, there is no hope
Shhhh, I don't think they see it.
I'm around lots of them. They scorn Texas just as much, but some are forced to move for work. They do not want to live anywhere near any conservatives.

Asheville is loaded Freeloaders, and large gender confused bunch.
I think Asheville has liberals
Yeah, like I think water is wet.

Lol at "ewww". Never been in a city that smelled more consistently of piss than LA.
Never been in a city that so consistently deserved to be pissed on than LA

Yep. The media only uses the Leftists. Media Manipulation is strong. We make fun of twitter. But without we wold not know so much !!!! Like this
not just that, you think people will want to go somewhere that is completely dangerous? their tourism will go down also.
Can confirm
I love NYC..... But not planning on going there anytime soon.
They painted that blm shit in the right place... on the ground, where patriotic Americans can grind that shit beneath our boots!
I'd piss on it of I was near that shit.
Paint your shoes and walk all over it
Just bring your muddy hiking boots and walk all over it. They cannot charge you with vandalism.
take a mustang out there and do some donuts
Careful, NYPD might be asked by DeBlasio to arrest all of you for "Hate crimes".
If there are any police left in NYC by the time DeBlasio realizes they might be worth having around.
Hate crime charges incoming.
They would try.
Paint MAGA in front of the New York Times Building, and then sue the city when de Blasio stops you.
-- but be respectful of the NYPD while it goes down. Those guys and gals are the best of the best.
👍👍👍
RISE.
WITNESS.
We should be using the slogan Keep America Safe more
Not just Trump Flag, Trump Thin Blue Line Flag. Good. Show these lawless fucks that we're tired of their bullshit, and won't be having it.
Has anyone painted over the BLM eye sore yet?
I'm not a fan of these washed out flags with no red.
Could be!
GOOD!
I've been waiting for someone to dump paint or do burnouts on it.
They are going to burn that beautiful flag.
What's even greater is that person only has 1,404 followers and has 12.2k retweets and 32k likes. That kind of ratio speaks volumes.
👍👍👍
AWESOME!
👍
Finally, some good news in that shithole.
They are covering the beautiful BLM mural with a hate flag! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I’m literally shaking!!!
Breaking news! Freedom of speech exercised!
Haha!
👍👍
Hate Crime!
Hate crime?
nice
It was only a matter of time until there was a collective and very big F.U. to the NYC Mayor and his sycophants.
You love to see it!
👍👍👍
Wait is it overtop of it or is it in front of trump tower? The angle looks like it’s in front of trump tower for a photo.
Is anybody arrested for this yet? Maybe charged with murder?
gang
Pretty big flag
Okay, I'm not seeing an image. If YOU see an image let me know so I can figure out if it's my browser or something else,...Thank you.
