I’ve lived in NYC all my life, voted blue for the elections I could vote in, and since Trump got elected I’ve been seeing just how disgusting and dishonest the entire establishment is. Trump gave me tax cuts, a safer border, and patriotism back to the White House. All Cuomo did here was destroy this economy and kill old people during the covid crisis. Which is over, btw. But people here still have the blue no matter who mentality despite everything that was done to them by democrats. Me and my gf want to leave already to raise a family in a red state like Texas, but the way the job market is here there’s no way to save money and we’re struggling. Despite that I want to say thank you to everyone on here, since t_d days on reddit, for helping to open my eyes to the truth so I don’t keep living a comfortable lie with what’s going on. God bless you guys and I hope everyone here is safe and secure.
Edit: thank you so much guys for your support, I’ve never been a part of a community that’s so welcoming and honest like this. I’ll do my best to try and scrounge up what I can to move in the next few years, me and lovely, equally Trump loving gf are ready to have a family in a good red state far away from nyc. Also got a Parler if anyone wants, @conservativenursedave. I’m honored to be a part of all this now, thank you everyone!

I have been a red pill NYC resident for my entire life. It has been frustrating to watch the greatest city in the world go down the tubes. Please bring your blue friends to the red side.
My whole family is as hard of Trump supporters as you can be and moved to red states long ago. Just me and my misses left, we’re just trying to save enough to do so but even for us nurses the economy has been poop and there’s less work available
If you are both nurses, especially if you’re RN, look for rural areas with bad shortages. They will often give you relocation bonuses.
Look into Delaware. It's not a red state but it's a great place to raise a family, especially Kent and Sussex county. DM me if you look into it seriously. There are lots of hospitals here and lots of need for nurses.
I actually lived in Delaware for a year! It was good, just a little boring. If it was warmer I wouldn’t mind moving there.
Do travel nursing! They pay for your lodging and it gets your foot in a hospital. I did it when I moved to CA (not there anymore left) and it helped us tons b/c it gave us a few months to find a place in SF when housing was hard to come by, and the pay is great. They always renew the contracts too. The hospital I worked for is one of the best hospital in the county and they hired me with great pay after my three month contract. Also, if you are both nurses you can have one take housing and the other just get the pay out for no housing. Also, don't claim residence in the state you are travel working for nursing b/c housing will be taxed:)
Idaho needs RN's, and many companies may pay for relocation.
it's better to be broke in Texas! I lived in NY state for 10 years I'm happily back home in Texas now where you are allowed to be proud.
The damage done here is irreparable. The rich have fled for good and the police are without power here. New York is turning back into the 80s shithole it was prior
That’s wild. I keep reading people talking about it, but its not being spoken like that in the news.
Not only that. I saw a report saying only 10% of office workers are back to work physically in NYC. That's gonna do so much damage when people realize they don't have to pay the high price of living in NYC to work in NYC. Once they make the decision to skip the city, there's no going back. NYC will have lost it's glam and it won't ever get it back.
Just place a map of US Counties with the highest 'murder/violent crime rates' ON TOP OF A MAP - of the US counties voting Democrat
and the similarities are simply shocking....
Do we need to send in Snake Plissken for ya?
Would be greatly appreciated
...I thought he was dead...
Former lifelong NYCer here, and you are making the right decision to leave to raise a family. I grew up in the 80s/early 90s and getting mugged 3 times (once at gunpoint) on the Upper East Side is something that stays with me to this day - and something the city is rapidly returning to (70s/80s level crime) Certainly not a place you want to raise a family, especially when the City/State combine for ~13% taxes on top of Uncle Sam!
Don't leave Pede.
Manhattan for 20 years. Wife, 2 kids. Many friends who are republican (all are People of Color).
This city needs you, me and all the rest of us to get through this.
Let the ad agency girls go back to Ohio and spout their bullshit. Don't back down, don't give up.
This is the city that built Donald J Trump. You CAN make it great here!
We love that NYC energy around here.
God bless you
Texas is next. All the shitlibs from Los Angeles are moving there and infecting poor, patriotic, Texans.
You might want to choose another state.
When Texas secedes, they should wall off Austin and donate it to california.
There are insane amounts of fraudulent leftie votes in Texas. I really don't think it'll turn Dem without fraud.
Dude trust me, get out now!
I moved from NY to the great state of North Carolina. In NY I had enough money to pay rent for a hole of an apartment (without a friggin kitchen), cover my minimums on the loans, and that’s it. In 4 years my net worth floated at -$40,000. I had less than a months expenses in the bank.
My (now) fiancé helped push me to move out, threw out nearly everything I owned and moved to a red state. In a few years living in NC I brought that worth up by $200,000!
NY has 2 classes of people, rich elites, and poor. If you are not one of those rich elites, you can expect them to force you into the lower class.
Leaving now, even if you can only take what fits in your car will be the start of your successful life. It’s just stuff, the money you save and earn in a red state can buy it all back in a year.
Come to Georgia. We need more red voters.
Dude that was my first choice, but the lack of oceans is a dealbreaker for us surfers
Texas has great surfing around Corpus Christi, Padre Island, and other places!
Looking at Houston for years now, actually had enough saved for a downpayment but then Cuomo forced me out of work and I had to use that money to keep me and my gf afloat. Just got to keep going, but it'll take years to recoup...
NYTs - enemy #1. Brainwashing better than Goebbels.
See if you can spot the extremely subtle differences in how NYT covered Kamala vs. Pence on "becoming VP candidates"
https://disrn.com/news/entertainment-break-see-if-you-can-spot-the-ever-so-subtle-differences-in-the-way-nyt-covered-kamala-vs-pence-becoming-vp-candidates
Hey, we could be talking about Jeff Sessions talking to anyone about anything in his time as AG.
Thanks to u and your girl for voting for Bathhouse barry 2x! If not for u n millions like you we wouldn't have Trump! Hope u get out of shithole NYC as soon as you can! Please dont vote blue in Texas! Thanks in advance!
Regret it already and my apologies aren’t enough, I know. Voting nothing but red from now on. The GOP is now the party of the working class thanks entirely to Trump
Dont apologize! I always said Obummer would regret winning a second term and as soon as the Perp walks start i know i will be right! God Bless!
Exactly. The Dem party that we knew of years ago is over. Can’t believe I was bamboozled by their crap so long ago.
Everyone makes mistakes, don't dwell on them - you've seen the way, now just try to follow it.
My brother moved to Arizona and he tells me people actually walk around wearing t-shirts that say "Don't put your California in my Arizona".
Prayers and best wishes are the only support that I can offer you at this moment . But I offer them to you wholeheartedly and with love.🙏💖
As a Republican with two kids in New Jersey, go to a red state now, while you can. If you think it's hard because of money.... it doesn't get easier.
Another good alternative to TX is the west coast of Florida around Tampa. Lots going on and a decent economy plus nice weather, no state income tax and Trump signs at every street.
Congrats on your common sense and intellect.
Must not be easy working around TDS sufferers daily
Come to North Dakota!! Our Cost of Living is unbeatable and the job market is solid!
Yeah but you have to be NoDak tough to deal with yall's winter weather.
Yeah... It sucks lol. But it keeps the riff raff out
Thought about it, I love the Atlanta suburbs but the lack of a nearby ocean is a dealbreaker lol. Me and my gf are avid surfers and we frequent beaches all year round
Jersey pede originally from nyc here...
These Vote blue no matter who states put everyone except the elite in a almost perpetual state of poverty with the extremely high taxes and cost of living.
It's all a big plan to keep you as working poor and stuck in NYC for as long as possible. Same thing is happening in East California, I mean New Jersey...
My advice is to try and leech off family while saving, or downsize to a studio or smaller apartment for a year in a cheaper area if possible.
Then take whatever savings you have and RUN FOR THE HILLS.
I'm trying to find a decent construction accounting gig in Idaho or Texas to GTFO out of NJ Best of luck
If you come to Nebraska stay out of Omaha and Lincoln. Every election they inch us closer and closer to blue. It’s very frustrating.
Welcome, and we're glad to have you on the Trump Train! Until you can get out, keep up the good fight behind enemy lines!
Look for jobs in Texas/they’d probably be glad to do zoom interviews these days. The cost of living here isn’t anywhere near NY, unless you’re one of those people that HAS to live downtown, and lenders will approve mortgages based on future earnings with a w-2 job.
“No way to save money”
I’m beginning to notice a common attribute of these cities is that it’s a real struggle to get out. You’re constantly fucked over by their laughably high costs of living and tax rates and have no extra money left over to gtfo.
Come to Georgia! Lots of jobs, really low cost of living, temperate climate, diverse geography, and we love families. We even have a governor who is a gun nut but very pragmatic - what could be better than that?
if you ever do move, just remember the things you realize now you were wrong on, and realize there could be more you just haven't realized yet. be open minded. and don't vote in the same shit there as you did back then.
Absolutely. Not bringing the blue problem down there to you guys
If you really believe it is in you and your future family's best interest, then don't keep putting it off. Just go. Struggle forever in NYC, or struggle temporarily somewhere else. You can start planning and set a date to leave by, or you can go now and figure it out when you get there. You will do just fine either way.
Share this same story on your social media. But besure to throw a nice rare Pepe or something in there to spice it up,cus no ones going to read a wall of text.
I did, ignored and ostracized. People really think the politicians that wrecked the city are in their best interests
Like I said, try putting a Pepe in it. lol.
Find a job that pays well where you want to live, then get a loan to make the move. Not credit card debt if you can avoid it, although there are credit cards that will take your debt from another card and give you a low interest rate to pay that off. Find something with an interest rate below 10%.
I know that debt is not good, especially for living costs, but this is something that will make you better off in the long run and more capable of paying off the loan. Loans are good to use for things that make improvements in your saving capabilities.
Once our kids arrived, we left for North Philly suburbs. Our area is blue-ish, and we're 90 minutes from Bay Ridge, 90 minutes from downtown. Another option is driving to Pricenton and then taking the train into Penn, which is a bit of best of both worlds.
The job market in NY was good, but the cost of living there was out of control, and the slow crush of impending socialism is pretty scary. We look back now and we're happy we got out when we did, even though we miss it.
Good luck, proto-Pede! One thing to carefully consider about your finances for moving - compare your tax burden in NYC vs. (especially) an state-income-tax-free place like TX. You may find that the extra money is right there. It will still take some money to get established, and the job market is going to be a factor, but I hope you'll be able to move sooner than you think once you dig into the numbers.
Love and prayers fellow pede.
I just followed you on Parler.
Thank you!
You're not alone in NYC.
PRIMARY THE RINOS
There is a new wave of Republicans coming up, ones that value freedom, safety, law and order, and personal achievement. The way to ensure the new republican party is the party of America is to register republican and primary the RINOS.
Hell I bet you at least 10% of people here would be in favor of some form of public option health care so that nobody has to go without coverage. I know I am, but I want it administered by the states.
Come to Rockaway !!
There are a lot of places you could move to. For example, when my parents moved out of NY (Long Island) we sold our 1,300 sq ft house and bought a 4bd/3bth 2,800 sq ft house for cheaper in SC.
It could be the same situation for you. Where you make money by moving into a bigger and better house.
You would just have to worry about moving expenses (truck, gas, etc) which isnt too serious.
What field of work are you in?
I work as a nurse, which would be great but even this field has been negatively affected and I have student loans out the wazoo that I’m trying to reign in
Do some research. In my area (Charlotte suburbs), there is a high demand for nurses due to a lot of retirement communities and neighborhoods. I know in my area, you wouldnt have trouble finding a nursing job.
Try and look for areas that have desirable factors (good schools, low crime, low costs, good economy) and make a list.
Then, in said areas, look for homes and jobs until you find something suitable.
If you dont mind me asking, what is the current market value of your current house and how many beds/baths/sq ft?
Moved out of Queens for North Carolina back in April because the work let me do permanent remote. Greatest decision I ever made for my family.
Get out now while you are still young and before you start your family. It will only get harder the longer you wait. I left NY when I was 18 amd never looked back. So many excitng opportunities are available to you when you are young and physically energetic and not a care in the world. The older you get, you settle for what you have because you are more risk-averse. When you are young and just starting out, risk isnt even part of your vocabulary. Plus, better to leave when Trump is Pres bec once the Dems get back in (eventually and God help us) your job prospects will be dismal.
A friend of mine moved from Upper West Manhattan to Houston. Took him about 3 months to get out of the NY mindset. Now he's all aboard the Trump Train and is glad to be out. Even if a chunk of his family doesn't like it.
Thanks for sharing! It's so encouraging to hear this. I hope you can put it together to move soon. May God bless you with opportunities!
I believe there are many more like you that are afraid to say it publicly in places like NYC and other blue strongholds.
Welcome aboard the Trump train! You and your girl friend seem like very fine people. Not racist or white supermacist or anything like that. They should be condemned totally. But you and your girlfriend look like very fine people, from both sides.
I'd say she looks very fine from all sides, but then that'd get me called a bigot or something by buzzfeed. No brakes though, in a few years I can recoup my cuomo driven losses and get out of here
I moved out of Minneapolis last year. I had no conservative or Republican friends in Minneapolis and felt like a foreigner in my home city. I moved to a small town. Life is good. I hope you can get out sooner rather than later. Good luck to you and yours, Pede!
Thank you! We're trying to leave here soon, it'll take a few years due to losses from the covid restrictions but small town or suburbs far far away is exactly what we're looking for.
I'm tellin' ya, keep to your goals because you're going to love it when you finally leave. to be honest, I had no idea how stressed city life made me until I moved to a small town.
There's just as much ocean here as there is in NYC. We have coastal barrier islands. St. Simon's, Jekyll, Tybee, Sapelo, Cumberland, etc....
As POTUS says, Don’t ever give up! You will get there just set goals and drive towards them. You won’t regret moving to Texas.
Hi my red pulled friend! It's a nice feeling when you can finally see past all the bullshit.
I'd recommend you consider Indiana for your move! Mostly conservative state, low taxes, affordable properties, lots of jobs with industries pouring in because or tax rates are much lower than illinois
sounds almost like this was planned, no?
almost like a failed city-state needs to keep its tax payers right where they are...
perpetual lock-downs, somehow in blue cities...
i feel your pain, fren. hang in there pede!
Thank you! And yes this was totally what they wanted. Hampton dwelling elites don’t care how the rest of us plebs feel
heres to hoping you can be free of them.
start your family in a place that wants you and supports that future family!
lol it's a welfare state but as a middle class guy we got screwed. What pisses me off is that people here are totally ok with their once amazing city degrading into a shithole and are thankful politicians are doing it...because they say that orange man is bad. Lemmings are not what I want to raise my kids around
Added you on Parler, friend. @MarshallAdam
thank you! I appreciate any follow if it'll help me get my experiences out to anyone who'd need another perspective
Cuomo the granny killer
