    While listening to this report, I thought, "to each is own. Your life, do what you will." But when the Texas realtor used the words "refugees" and "trauma", the words "ignorant" and "bullsh**" came to mind. Calling themselves refugees is absolutely ludicrous, clueless, and completely out of touch with what's going on outside of the America.

    It’s awful what’s happening to the country. When I was a kid, I remember my grandparents next door neighbors had Ford signs on their lawn and my grandparents had Carter signs on theirs. They both flew American flags from the front porches and in the mornings it was “hi Dave” and “hi Joe” and at night it was “How was your day” and “firing up the grill this weekend so why don’t you come by with the kids” It’s a real shame what’s happened

    Thankfully, I'm moving back to New England next month. Florida is the most hateful state I have ever lived in. I am sorry I came here. It isn't just politics, mortgage went up, car insurance went up, property taxes went up, and home insurance skyrocketed. Can no longer afford to live in Florida. At least, in New Hampshire, I found an affordable home and I can afford the bills. Not to mention NH is not a hateful state to live in.

    The difference between the number of "blow out" counties from '04 and '20 may be for a lot of reasons. One is gerrymandering. The other is that the GOP has gone from a center right party to a fascist one. This appeals to a lot of white Christian nationalists and doesn't to most others. In short, the real estate business is brutally competitive business and this "help you move to a redder area" sounds like a marketing gimmick. If you want to move to Texas, any real estate agent can help you. Also, the political views of the real estate agent is independent of the homes they show you, closing costs, etc.

    I get it, and it's a deeply concerning trend we're witnessing. The path we're on seems to be leading us toward a division based on political beliefs. What's worrying is the diminishing capacity for empathy and understanding towards those with differing opinions. I can't support that mindset. For instance, I have friends with conservative views I don't entirely align with, but that doesn't mean I'll end those friendships. Politics has become akin to a religion for some, driving people apart more than ever. If this continues, we could see a segregation reminiscent of the 1950s, but based on political affiliation - "conservatives only" or "liberals only" instead of racial segregation. It's as if the basic principles of humanity are being forgotten.

When it was always implied to "Never discuss politics or religion"?... Well, I recently moved to get away from all of that to an amazingly friendly, happy and very affordable place where everyone is warm, welcoming and family oriented! Today I walked about a half mile to a mom and pop store, because that's pretty much all they have here, to grab some freshly harvested organic produce, again because that's pretty much all they have here, and of the dozen or so people who I ran into along the way and while shopping every single one of them said "Good morning!" to me with a smile!...You may be wondering where this place is and if someplace like this even exists anymore....of course it does, but where I moved to they say "Buenas dias!" BTW- I grabbed a liter of some freshly squeezed organic orange, mango, coconut and banana juice for just over $2.00us and avocados where on sale for around $0.42us each. I also picked up a lunch of caught this morning fish tacos con todo (with everything!) for $27 pesos, or around $1.58us each!! Mucha suerte desde la hermosa Mexico!

    I would like to have neighbors that mind their own business and vote their constience and except election results.

    I have friends who lived in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles. They are liberals. As the area became more crime ridden and started deteriorating they moved to more conservative and safer Orange County. Unfortunately they continue to vote for the same liberal politicians which ruined the San Fernando Valley.

    Politics used to be a boring subject. Now politics seem to be tied with world-view and life choices. This started in the 90s and has only gotten worse.

    politics is nothing more than exploitation of insecurities.

    I am part of a hopefully big hi tech startup moving from London England. New York and California and Blue states were laughed at.

    I love in a liberal place and it sucks. So much money wasted all over for nothing, so much corruption. Can’t wait to leave one day.

    For those who want to move Oregon’s border to become part of Greater Idaho I hope you were listening. You don’t have to move the border, just hook up with one of these realtors and they will set you up in your perceived part of heaven. 😅

    So you moved from a state with 12 electoral votes (Washington) to a state with two (Idaho). Sounds like they don't understand politics at all.

      Hey! If a lot of them move to Idaho, wouldn't Idaho have more than 2?

    To want to move big red defies logic to me. But then I see their white skin and their wealthy home and it makes sense.
