"slip away, Slip away"!!
Then all voters would be trapped because we all know we have all held our noses and voted.
My first time voting was for Nixon, granted it was in 4-H camp at Roman Nose but he won there and in the regular election.
I lived in WA from 2008 to 2018 (Army) then I was offered a job making twice what I was making at Cabela's with half the cost of living out here. OK is very vet friendly ($25 lifetime fishing/hunting). So here I am without all the WA BS gun laws. Still need to go back to WA to pick up the rest of my guns.
Well, I didn't ruffle as many feathers as I thought I would. Wasn't my goal. Really, though, here is my theory that i really think is the bigger issue and why many of these long time conservative states have "influx" of libs and starting to turn states purple.
Yeah, people are moving out of places line CA, NY, IL, WA, OR and the others in droves because of the liberal and progressive policies. However, I really believe that there are still not enough people moving to make that big of a change in the voting block in the states they move to. For instance, MT has about 1M residence. In 2017 11,700 people move to MT. Say 5K of these people are total liberals/progressives. That is .5% of the new population that would most likely vote for liberal causes. Many of these very conservative states vote very firmly republican. I don't see liberals that moved to these states having the voting power to start to turn states purple.
My theory is that with the advent of technology and the internet, kids, teens and college students are very susceptible to liberal an progressive policies and thought because it sounds so warm and fuzzy and like the "right thing to do and think". I'm talking, basically, home grown and indoctrination of local kids that are able to vote exactly the opposite as their parents. I feel this scenario is far more realistic that people moving from out of state and turning states purple. It sounds better and is easier to blame "outsiders" for the the progressive voting than to blame ones native/local kids and grandchildren for states starting to turn purple.
Since I heard Rush Limbaugh say it some 30 years ago I truly believe that the vast majority of people have this train of though, especially the last 15 years. That statement is, "if you are 20 years old and not a democrat you don't have a heart and if you are 40 years old and not a republican then you don't have a brain". I also reviewed my kids social media since the Floyd ordeal and I saw an incredible amount of kids that he is friends with or follows had that blacked out square on their IG and FB accounts. We also had a protest in our town that is probable 85% white and they had an enormous amount of kinds with BLM signs showing how much white guilt they actually had. Just amazing the chit I see. Luckily my 17 year old son is not one of these chitbags that has this thought process. Anyways, rant off.

I have some recent first hand evidence about migration.
Some friends just sold 40 acres near Welston. It was listed for $550,000 with a house.
The real estate company told them that any property over 500K goes on the WWW for the world to see.
The 40 acres sold was to someone from commiefornika that flew in, toured the property and paid full price.
The real estate person also said that acreages with homes were flying out the door to Chinese residents.
I have no link to any of this, only first hand info from what we were told in a phone conversation this morning.

We are not headed towards utopia
Homes with land are lasting no time , sellers market.. I was told that a buddies sons 10 acres sold to some Asian folks..
From what I've been hearing around here people are buying up land to start pot farms. Some of the land owners are starting to put stipulations in the contracts that if they sell it that no pot growing is allowed.
I saw this somewhere and had to love it...
