I live in Washington State. Love this state. Born and raised here. Love the climate, the scenery, etc. There's talk of abolishing prisons, the leftism is spreading, among other crazy things happening... This gives me the desire to leave this state for better places to raise a family of 4 kids. However, I am torn because if I move, thats like throwing up the white flag? Right? I feel some sense of duty to stand up for what's happening here, and if I move, its ceding it to the leftists. I should stand as an example of conservatism, of how to guide a family through the storm that's coming. Thoughts?

Same, born and raised, one thing to realize is that 60 percent of the Seattle area are transplants. There are less of us true northwesterners than people who loved there for tech and whatnot. Ultimately it was the original lawless land of the Wild West. It’s a unique and beautiful area and none are like it. Many True Washingtonians though, at least the ones not on the Eastside are blue collar, hard working Americans. The state has not fallen, it has always had a rough part of it once you cross the cascades but spend a half hour in Monroe and it feels like the American south. I think the angry, silent, hard working and freedom loving locals are just about ready to rise up. I never had much hope for that growing up but my friends have started to be out about Trump. They’re pissed and they’re ready for change. I no longer live there but one day when I live back I hope that it’s been reclaimed by the people who love and understand the place. Not the ones who love the idea of the place. There are many left in Washington and they’re tired and cranky and going to rise for conservative values. But they need to be proud, loud, and ok with being conservative in an area that it actually will cost you something.
Agreed. One thing I didnt mention, and should weigh any decision, is I know several Dems that have been redpilled as of late. It's encouraging.
