Hard hitting, government funded journalism there.   ::)

There's a private Facebook group with nearly 8,000 members called Conservatives Moving to Texas. Three of them are sitting at a dinner table — munching on barbecue weenies and brownies — in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. None are vaxxed.

And they love it here.

"As soon as I drove into Texas, literally, as soon as I could get into the state and stop at my first truck stop for gas it was, like, 'This is wonderful,' " says Lynn Seeden, a 59-year-old portrait photographer from Orange County, Calif.

"People weren't wearing masks — nobody cared. It's kind of like heaven on earth."

She says when the state of California forced her to close her photography studio over COVID-19 restrictions, she and her husband, a retired newspaper editor, knew it was time to "escape."

America is growing more geographically polarized — red ZIP codes are getting redder and blue ZIP codes are becoming bluer. People appear to be sorting.

Meh, if I move out of California it probably won't be to Texas. Conservative Texans have made clear to me that Texans will take one look at my California plate when I enter the state and ASSume I'm a Berserkeley-style Prog idiot. I don't have the patience or time for that kind of ignorant pre-judging.

What would it take for you to move out of California? And where?

Dave Rubin asked the same question of Dennis Prager in a recent interview and the response was interesting.
