Boomers and their parents are getting older and retiring. Florida offers not just a non-tax on pension state, but more to the point climate suits oldsters better than say New York, New Jersey and other Northeastern states.
The older you get, the more conservative you will become.
Amazon is going to put their 2nd HQ where the state or city government with most taxpayer money to bribe them to relocate. Has little to do with the state politics.
That's correct. In addition, they need educated talent--that will be found in a liberal urban area--no matter which state.
Have you every visited Cary? Or the booming Triangle? Other fast growing successful areas of NC?
Not a den of red iniquity
Battle ground in North Carolina is same as many other states; urban or exburban versus suburbs and rural. The latter have been seeing population declines not just as few new people move there, but also because young people are leaving for urban areas to find work and so forth.
His Orangeness won many Rust Belt and states with similar mentalities in large part due to rural voters and others wanting to return to things as they were in the past. That is bringing back their young people and or keeping them from leaving. That is going to be a tall order as the American job market continues to shift more towards a knowledge based economy over say manufacturing.
None of this even begins to touch declining birth rates meaning there simply aren't enough "young people" often to go around.
The older you get, the more conservative you will become.
This hasn't really happened with my parents. My mother has become more liberal with age. My father was born in the 1950s. He has been a lifelong Democrat.

Bingo. Not everyone, but the majority as people age they dislike winter more and more as the years go by. Don't want to deal with those bitter cold days, the ice, the snow, the cloudy days and where they go Florida.
Where people live is usually basic on two things - job location, family/friends. Not many people move cause of politics- only crazy diehearts do - most people in America are moderates.

If WalMart and cowtipping were the social gathering options, I'd shoot myself😒
