After reading about Trump's behavior at G7, I think drastic measures need to be taken. Since we can't abolish the Electoral College for whatever the reason, people in liberal states need to figure out how to move in enough numbers to red states to turn this country around. This can't be allowed to happen again; he is a national embarrassment and a real threat to the word's security and political stability.

So, who's joining me in my move to Iowa?

As long as people dont support the labor union movements and public funding of elections, there is no way that the country will be "turned around". The ruling business elites have far too much power and in upcoming elections, this will just lead to more radicalism from a desperate population in despair. Its what always happens when inequality and oligarchy gets out of control.

Lol...Iowa isn’t really a red state. In fact, after Trump, it’ll go right back to being blue. This is an aberration for Iowa.

That said, I live in the only red state that I’ll ever live in; Arizona. No other red state is fit to live in. All the rest are dumps.

If liberals move to red states it will just dilute the states they came from. Furthermore, the local politicians in the red states will just redraw the congressional districts to keep Republicans in power. It's taking place in Georgia right now.

I've done this. I wouldn't recommend it.

A better strategy would be to get Putin out of our elections.

Paper ballots instead of those Diebold's electronic voting machines with no paper trails would be a smart move as well.

Have a great time in Iowa and don't forget to write. Send a post card when you have a free moment.

What has CA gotten so screwed up and expensive that you now want to move to a sensible Red State with low taxes, low COL, low housing cost and screw it up also?

Have I got that right ?

I guess you'll want to start bringing all your Illegal Alien buddies with you to screw up their schools also.
