I thought the Blue states were the bastion of liberal progressive ideas where everyone is cared for and loved? For what possible reason could they want to leave?
Those cities have long been blue. The dems have the same “concentration” problem there they do on the coasts, just on a smaller scale.
It also assumes they stay stupid after they move, which is not always the case. In fact it rarely is. Oh there’ll be isolated cases of collective insanity, such as Austin trying to defund police, but cases.
Your sophomoric author is correct about one thing - it will be good for the GOP. The republicans are locked into the old paradigm - it is time to adapt or die.
The biggest thing he ignores is the radicalization of the democrats. Most people do not want that insanity in their lives. As long as the coastal enclaves left keeps escalating, the alternative will be fine.
There is an awakening among the Woke Adjacent™. It is slow but sure.
Virgina (at least NOVA) is an example of a state being infested by progressive ideology through the migratory patterns of the perpetually aggrieved. This state seems to have compensated for this malignancy by allowing the natural progression of progressive idiocy to run out, turn foul in the minds of the populous and usher in a renaissance of more enlightened conservative minded GOP voters.
It’s not being voted on by citizens, but you knew that.
This “Who us?” thing won’t work.
What is amusing is how it doesn’t work.
This society in which we live does not immiserate the workers but helps them to build a better life.
Horkheimer was right. And as soon as they build that better life, they start to resent those who take in their will to power. They resent the immiseration. It’s human nature, not race nature.
Socialism (as dreamed of by the left) doesn’t know how.
