Americans are fleeing to places where political views match their own

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.

“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

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.
