Though as I stated in a previous post are these voters leaving their liberal views behind that ruined states they lived in.

Unfortunately, they tend to bring their garbage politics with them and proceed to inflict it on others.

No that is not where they are going but on the other hand, I'm pretty certain you know those are not the only red states. Perhaps a better question would be why are they leaving some of the blue states in droves?

From the article


" I argued that voters wanting to live in a business-friendly, fiscally responsible state that minimizes its tax burden would either vote out the liberals destroying their state’s economy or flee to a red state. The latest Census Bureau report highlights the red-state shift. "


You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity . . . . What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving . . . . The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else . . . .. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation . . . .You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

typical right wing drivel justifying inequality and parasitism of a few. It is just too bad it can be applied to relatively sparsely populated areas. Higher population density areas either adopt "progressive" policies or become a Bantustan. There is no middle ground.

FAKE NEWS. That opinion piece is false. Take a look at the states that are losing and gaining.

10 states are losing population. 5 of them voted for Trump and 5 of them voted for Hillary. Half are red, half are blue.

Most are moving to purple states. Those states that are gaining: 4 have D governors and 3 have R governors.

States losing
Alabama, California, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia — lose only one seat.


States gaining
Texas, Florida, Arizona, Colorado, Montana, North Carolina and Oregon

So, you’re telling me a packed bus with everyone strapped wouldn’t be very safe?

Color me surprised!

Most people move where the jobs are located. It's businesses that move because of politics.
