I live in Birmingham and I have 3 families of Californians that have moved in within a few blocks of me during the past 5 years... another family moved in from Brooklyn just a few weeks ago. They are moving everywhere. Even Alabama.

There’s also this thing called party realignment in the 1960s.


This is a myth that is simply not true despite the left's constant push to try to deflect their racist roots.

The only change that occurred in the 1960s is one major political party decided to be stealthy racist instead of openly racist when they saw the giant electoral opportunity in front of them to do so.

Cost of Living index Cali 138.5. Cost of Living index Texas 91.5.

That $80k you make in Cali isn't worth anywhere CLOSE to the $61k you make in Texas.

And the best proof that he's right is that Cali is losing population. More people have been moving out rather than in for a decade or so, but the birth rate kept population numbers growing. Now the exodus has increased to the point births can't keep up and for the first time in the state's history lost a congressional seat.

The reality is that the population movement will serve the GOP better than the Dems because these growth states are still dominated by the GOP at the state level. These state governments will use gerrymandering and legislation to minimize the voting power of the people who are mostly migrating from one blue state city to a red state city for job opportunities. The migrating people will end up giving the GOP more seats in the federal congress because the state will take the population growth in a few cities and create more districts out in the the hinterlands.

So yes, in the end the population movement will lead to single party domination but by the GOP. I'm unsure what Govt Tide meant but that is how I interpreted it.
So from the GOP perspective, what's the problem then?
Whining about Americans moving around in America is kinda the opposite of what you supposedly freedom loving people preach

I think conservatives are obsessed with skin deep cultural signifier bullshite. They’ve been pissed since CBS cancelled Hee-Haw during their Rural Purge in 1970. I swear to God this country could actually go communist as long as their kids/grandkids liked their Facebook posts and all popular culture was corny shite conservatives like.

It most certainly is true and easily provable. In 1860 the Democrat party had a north vs south schism where the northern democrats opposed slavery but the southern Democrats did not. This led to the election of Lincoln as the Republican nominee. The civil war happened and the southern democrat half of the party kind of took over. The southern democrat party was the openly racist party from that time to just prior to the civil rights movement when a large black population in those same states then named themselves after the party which made openly racist white people flee BOTH parties. Over time that southern sentiment against black people eventually gained a foothold in the other party and while not a major feature of the Republican Party you can see MANY similar acts from the pre-1960s democrat party now being championed by the current Republican Party. Just like post civil war when the southern half of the democrat party took over, in the last 15 years the southern half of the Republican Party has taken over with the classic quasi- liberal cultural ideals but conservative financial and constitutional view has all but disappeared within the party and gets called RINO when it shows up.

Maybe one from Canada along the Rockies down along I 20 and around the upper 285 back to I20.

No more left coast, cuts out the worst of Texas, puts the worst of Ga all the may go myrtle beach in a different country. We would save billions in hurricane relief annually.

If conservatives are worried about the blue wave (I think its conservatives migrating for most part), then they need to allow city/county secession w/n their own states. Decentralization is the true key to freedom.

Jackson has the bad progressives, folks that don't even bring industry. At least Nashville gets Amazon and Alliance Bernstein.
