Heh, and yet Nashville is supposedly "blue". Just another bit of circumstantial evidence to prove that blue cities aren't really blue. On a different note, the more guns in the hands of legal citizens, the better.
See, I don't believe that. I'm sure it's true to SOME extent, but nowhere near what people let on. This is a weird bit of hypocrisy I see more than we should with people on this board, and on our side in general. It's been proven time and again that 90-95% of people moving from a blue to red state are conservative and moving for freedom and like company.
We can't keep claiming every major city is "blue" because of transplants from NY, NJ, CA, IL, MI, WA, OR, etc. Especially when the evidence is so overwhelming that all of these states are actually red. Remember there's overwhelming evidence that Trump won NY, CA, WA, OR, and MI in 2020. Not really been many people look into NJ or IL in regards to 2020, but I'm sure if we did we'd find a ton of evidence Trump won them as well.
This is like trying to have our cake and eat it too. "THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN!" but also "CALIFORNIANS AND NEW YORKERS ARE MOVING HERE AND TURNING THE STATE BLUE!" Both can't be true.
Besides, people GREATLY overestimate the number of blue state refugees that move to red states. I don't have the numbers off the top of my head for Tennessee, but I DO have the numbers for Texas, so I'll use that instead. Over the last 10 years there's been a grand total of 687K Californians who moved to Texas over the last 10 years. That's out of a population increase of 3.8 Million for the record. So a little over 18% of Texas' population increase came from California. And as I said, every actual statistic that isn't from VICE or Buzzfeed points to these people being overwhelmingly conservative.
Want to know the number one reason people move to Texas? Freedom, specifically the freedom to hunt, fish, hike, and experience the outdoors. Most of which are activities traditionally associated with conservatives (especially hunting since it involves guns).
Heck, even on here it's not uncommon to see at least 5-10 people talking about moving from some "blue" crap hole to a red state several times a week. And everything I've said thus far applies to EVERY major city, not even just the southern ones.
Another weird concept people not to stop assuming, is that EVERYONE on our side want's to live in the middle of nowhere in a rural county. Yeah, a lot of us do, but it's simply not true that all of us do. A very large percentage of people on our side (possibly even the majority) DO enjoy city life and all the conveniences it presents. Probably an even larger percentage enjoy living in Suburbia where they can enjoy the city amenities while having moderate peace and quiet. Remember, the suburbs are growing like never before in red states. In places like Miami and Houston, the surrounding suburbs are actually outpacing the core city in terms of population growth.
What a lot of people don't catch when look at state populations, is that even in California and New York, NYC, Buffalo, LA, San Fran, etc. ARE STILL GROWING in population. It's the rest of that state(s), where all of the traditionally red voters are, that's shrinking and resulting in net population decreases.
So seriously, we need to stop with this weird hypocritical nonsense where we want to claim every election for the last 60 years has been stolen in some fashion, but also claim states and cities are legitimately turning blue because of freedom seeking transplants who are overwhelmingly on our side.
Ok, first of all, I never even argued the pricing out part. That's pretty true across board and a problem that needs a solution. So not sure where you get that I'm arguing with that.
However the rest of what I said IS true. If you get butthurt over reality, then that's your problem. I can't force you to see reason and logic if you're dead set on having a victim mentality because you want to have your cake and eat it too when it comes to interstate immigration and politics.
The 90-95% stat is true, as is essentially every other fact I laid out. If you want to live in denial and project a constant defeatist mentality then be my guest. All you're doing is showing your hypocrisy when more and more evidence is shown every day that there are no where near as many liberals as there are conservatives. Just like how it was proven that 79% of all votes in Atlanta/Fulton County were fake/illegal. Let that sink in, 79% of all votes cast in the largest county/city in Georgia are either fake or illegal.
But of course according to you most of those votes were probably legitimate because Atlanta's actually blue and everyone who's moved there in the last decade is a raging liberal with absolutely no conservatives daring to set foot in Fulton county.
