      The Republicans are staying and trying to fix their state...Understandable republicans move as well but the majority of those fleeing are bring their leftwing ideology and vote with them..during the Obama years eastern Virginia especially Halifax co.has took in massive amount of Maryland N.Y and other northern blue state left wing voters and they are pretty much liberalized that area...it happening in N.C, it's happening in areas of S.C and it has completely changed Fulton Co. Georgia were at one time had large republican support out of Northern Buck head...so it's not the Republicans fleeing that's not problem but the migration of Northern and other blue states democrap voters..

      Well! How about getting the colors right to begin with! Don’t you know that the socialist Communist color really I’d Red, right! The traditional European countries for all the parties right of the middle are blue, whatever they are called for what would be to the Right Republican Party and is blue. The left Bolshevik, Marxist communist or Socialist, red. Why is this deliberate confusing Americans, people outside the USA wonder. Who had the red flag with a sickle and another symbol for the SovietUnion. China totalitarian red as well. The Socialist is also Red and they all sing the same translated marching song of Soviet Union. Look it up and play it. You will have heard it, I’m sure. It always bugs me at elections. Bet they even loose all those voters who legally immigrated, out of Socialist or former Soviet States that enslaved them, in the lie of any kind of branch of Communism, the now call Democracy or the Green Party, Socialist Democrat Party etc. all European countries fell for it. It starts by killing the Nations Christian Faith, into Atheism. Indoctrinating you that the large government they created, is your Father, who through high taxes you pay, vill take care of you. From the cradle to the grave, instead of you through self perseverance, saving and planing your lives responsibly, all according to the Christian Faith values, under God through Jesus Christ. Not many choices in a Communist regime. Once you lived in it for tree generations you become dependent on the system, as they don’t give you any choices. Everything becomes an average grey color. Just like the left here during Covid were wearing all shades of grey and black. The whole summers that’s what you saw all over. Even now.
      So Californians stay and change. Get rid of your Hollywood masters programming you through most of their entertainment business. Shut them out! They won’t get a movie part if they don’t speak for the left! Some Christian’s are blacklisted. Don’t be quiet speak up for Christ. Be kind and love everyone more, than you did yesterday. ❤

      Please, do share your data sources. I have offices in Las Vegas, Dallas, Portland, Orlando, and Torrance (Los Angeles). It's the same story on ground as it has been for my entire life. People move, and people take their place. For all the BS in California, it is still the number one powerhouse state in the country. There are just as many homeless camps on the streets of Dallas as there are in Portland. Orlando seems to be falling apart. Everyplace has its issues, and there is no single magic bullet or "policy" that is going to change that fact.

    The consistent issue with these people fleeing Democrat-run cities and states for Republican-run cities and states is that they do not leave the politics from which they are fleeing when they leave. They voted for the policies that ruined their original home, flee when it becomes too oppressive for them, but still vote for these failed policies in their new home. You just want to ask these people why they would leave a place over dissatisfaction with conditions only to bring with them the ideology that created those conditions.
