Great post! I've had people tell me the same thing, mainly people from Texas.
I hope that people who move out of here don't turn your areas into liberal cesspools!

Certain states pay more into the fed than they receive. NY is No. 1. NJ is No. 2.
You'd be very surprised. I went wave running and parasailing in southern New Jersey last month and many people over there had Trump apparel, beach towels and other pro Trump gear. You know a place is conservative when no one is afraid of wearing their maga hats.

Oh, there are definitely some Trump people in the state. Some of them are even related to me. There are even certain counties that almost always vote Republican. But by and large, NJ leans left, particularly in presidential elections. I thought that this was something people knew and am surprised to see someone try to make it sound otherwise.

When liberal voting habits turn a city into a 3rd world hell hole, so bad that people want to pick up and move elsewhere, taking those same voting habits to a new part of the country and repeating the same is a threat.

Whether you understand it or not.

It doesn't matter what you want. This is America. We are all free to vote with our feet and take our politics with us. Stop crying about it and get involved politically if you don't agree.

Only people who have never left the USA except for maybe an all-inclusive resort (where they never leave the walls) say things like this.

I understand the concerns of the OP and I feel for him. As a conservative NYer, I am overtaxed and underrepresented, so I too plan on leaving as soon as I possibly can to live among people who share my values. Hopefully, the people flocking to the OP's town are moving there for the same reason.

Everyone knows that this is a free country and people can move wherever they want, but can you really not understand why conservatives wouldn't want people coming to their towns to vote for the same liberal policies that made their original homes unsafe and unlivable?

For some reason this made me think of the Native Americans meeting the Pilgrims.

For some reason, they can't just stay in the utopias they created. I wonder why that is?
