Her argument is that more people will move to red states as a result. I hate to break it to her, but increased population density is almost guaranteed to make states turn blue.
So by winning, Democrats are actually losing, making red states turn blue, so Democrats are winning. Suck it, commies!
Moving from blue to red again was a shock, I sure miss the quality of public services. This place is falling apart unless you live in the richest suburbs.
I live in Bumfuck, WV. Quite possibly the stupidest state in the Union. Our elected representation perfectly encapsulates the constituents of the state. Moronic, incompetent, and completely unwilling to incite change for a more prosperous future.
I fucking hate it here. I can’t wait to be able to move.
I went Michigan, Illinois, Texas, Minnesota, Texas. That last jump was a hard transition. Frankly, I hope we get invaded by Mexico because there’s no other way to fix the state government at this point.
Preach brother. Had no idea, just wanted to move. Now I’m counting the days to get out of here. More money, better public services, cleaner, and COL isn’t much of an argument at this point. Although it wasn’t a big deal anyway. Rent caught up quick and the only perk is a front yard and backyard I don’t use except to walk the dog. Aside from that, it’s clear how far a few more dollars for state taxes go. Good learning experience. Loved the people, but no thanks to climate. Political and physical.
Isn’t it conservatives that are leaving blue states? I know urban centers tend to be more left leaning but I don’t think those people will quickly change their views just from moving. Maybe their kids?
Independent of left and right, a higher population density naturally results in increased support for public services, which the right has decided to firmly establish themselves as being against.
Plus there’s the added benefit of prejudice and racism decreasing in a more diverse community. (at least on a personal level)
My dad moved from California to Columbia, Missouri about a decade ago. No complaints other than the weather, but his district is posh and next to the campus.
Columbia has one huge university and two good sized colleges. As far as Missouri goes, it’s probably the most liberal city. Take a drive for 10 minutes in any direction though and the atmosphere definitely changes.
also I’m pretty sure smaller stuff that’s not for the us president is not counted just purely per vote but more on winning districts so just having more conservatives collected in one area would only mean that a presumably an already very red area gets redder without doing anything more
Holy crap, it’s real. Link. I thought this must be satire.

Moving from red to blue was a shock. Did you know blue states will actually attempt to improve citizens lives?

Once upon a time West Virginia was Woke Virginia
I moved from blue to purple, then red, then redder. It’s been an adventure.

I am ethnically Italian. I am culturally San Diegan, aka Mexican. I would have no trouble adjusting.
Hell in the 60’s Hollywood you were Mexican.

I moved from very blue to just kinda blue.

She doesn’t specifically mention conservatives moving. Her argument seemed to be that everyone will flee the socialist hellscape.

I’ve been to Columbia before. Supremely bizarre drive from St Louis to the campus. With any luck that’ll be my first and only time in Missouri
Sounds like a college town, so I imagine it’s not at all indicative of the rest of the state, politically

By winning they make MAGA folks go away? Sounds like double winning to me…
I think she’s totally right republicans, move to Alabama and Florida. You’ll be safe there.
the commies are also saying this
