[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 3402609, member: 14646"] 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".
