GiddyGapConservatives go to red states and liberals go to blue as the country grows more polarized
I wish democrats would make moving to places like Montana, the Dakotas and Wyoming a priority
MonkeyhogWhy would we want to live in a shithole state like that?
If you bring enough people with you, it wouldn’t be a shithole state.
NeatoYou'd have to bring a whole city. What I'd be losing moving from D.C. to Wyoming is not fixable by bringing a few friends. Museums? Enough population that shows and bands play there regularly?
Also, who can actually convince friends and family to move themselves across the country to a shithole for politics? Have you done that?
Brawler YukonThe idea is to move there in enough numbers to overwhelm the GOP majority and make the state not be a shithole anymore.
Have you done this? A few people suggesting people uproot their lives and ruin their QOL to maybe make a dent that a single GOP law could thwart.
Never said I have done it or even endorse it, just explaining the concept since OP seemed to not understand the theory behind it.
Yeah, it’s hard enough to get blue voters to stay in those shitholes. Why would any sane person who already lives in a blue state want to move to a red one?
I live in a “red state” and I own my own house and land. My mortgage payment is less than $800 a month for a 3-bedroom brick house.
I have a great job, making twice as much money as I actually need.
The cost of living in my “red state” is much lower than most places in “blue states” so I’ll be staying here and enjoying my financial well-being even though I’m not a Trumptard. While I don’t enjoy seeing rednecks everywhere showing off their dumb opinions, I still enjoy having money more than I don’t like that other stuff.
I’ve said before, and ill say it again. For myself, I’d rather be poor in a place that respects human rights, instead of rich in a place that shits on them.
Sounds mighty principled of you. As for me, I’ve spent enough of my years in poverty already, so now that I’m out of it I’m pretty content with my situation.
It’s not principled. Some people just read history. Money only means safety when equal, stable, rights (ownership is a right) are enforced by the state. Not trying to change your mind, just be careful. The people you think are being “principled” may see threats you don’t.
upforitbutnotdownforitIsn't Montana pretty chill lately? My memory was they passed some pretty sensible stuff in the last few months.
RustledTeapotYou're probably thinking of Michigan.
Montana and Wyoming are among the most beautiful places on earth. Not sure why the Dakotas were included....
