So true! I have debated ad nauseum with conservatives on this very topic. Their media machine is feeding this absurdity to them and they believe it. They see it as hard evidence that conservative policies are superior to any other policies.
It’s gotten to the point I don’t even talk to people who bring up the topic. You can quote any number of statistics, but they’ve “dun seen that californian moving in up the road, so there’s the proof right there!” I guess the fact that on a ~21 house road, we’ve got Carolingians, Alabamians, Tex(i)ans, Michiganders, and some Arkansaws folks means that people are fleeing blue states, sure, ayup.
many people in red states think that talent and wealth are moving to red states to escape liberal politics. they are in a different dimension

Texas might be the sole case where that’s actually happening. Most of the wealth is being concentrated in and around Austin, though.
And Nashville, but both are purple dots and the moment these states take a harder stance on gender policies they will relo.
Nashville moreso because of rent costs.
That’s how a red state becomes a swing state.
Happened in Virginia already.
It’s also weird how Virginia and West Virginia have gone, especially when you learn how the split happened in the first place.
Texas has more oil than Saudi Arabia and is ideal for certain types of chemical engineering.
they think they can create their own “dimension” where everything they want to believe is magically true
