On the contrary, if I didn't dislike cold cloudy snowy 5 month winters, I would've stayed in New York, as I thought, aside from weather, QOL was good there. But good weather is a priority of mine, hence I left
Yep. And for this reason, I applaud all of those liberals moving South. The only way we're going to overcome the innate ignorance of red states is by overwhelming them with northern liberals. Works for me!
Yes, please! It helps the reds states!!
They come and move to already islands of blue in the sea of read. and it only effects the city dwellers.
It changes nothing in State politics, the way the Democrats long ago, before Republicans took over, gerrymandered the districts.
But we then get more say so in the US Congress.
3 more democrat districts split to create 3 more additional republican districts.

Let's see. 120M live in the south. You broadly accuse them of innate ignorance.

Quite wrong assumption.
Here in AZ, the vast majority of incomers have moved to metro Phoenix, which now has 65% of the states population. And well over half of our incomers are from California and Illinois, hence we have increasing Democratic representation at the state and federal level. So the migration has had a huge impact in this state.
Even in Texas, metro DFW and metro Houston make up half the state combined, and both are getting a lot of CA transplants
This is the rise of the new progressive-conservative south. It will continue to vote red but is moderating and will lead the country in population growth, gaining smart residents from poorly run states like Illinois and NJ. The western moderate-conservative states like Utah Colorado and Arizona are also thriving.
This, I'm a born and raised New York liberal, moved to Arizona after high school, for weather, NOT for political reasons, so still a liberal. Arizona is getting purple-er
Not at all.
Gore got 44.5% in 2000, Kerry got 44.4% in 2004, Obama got 45% in 2008 (against our sitting Senator mind you) and 44.1% in 2012. Clinton got 44.6%. There is no purple trend happening in Arizona. No matter how bad us on the left want to believe it, the idea is all nonsense.

I'm talking at district level, not at large
