    Wait. What? How does that even… I mean. Huh?

    Republicans are the stupidest mother fuckers in the world.

      Vibes-based policy. Republicans hate when people from blue states move to red states, even if they are republicans. They think they bring the liberal stink with them and fuck things up for everyone else.

      They’ll eat this up, regardless of how little sense it makes.

        I mean we kinda do. I moved from a blue state to a red state and man; I didn’t realize how good I had it. Now I want to make things better here.

        I have to imagine at least some republicans come to the same conclusion too.

          That’s what any demographic shift does. Wealthy republicans carpetbag on occasion too, though not as often. The problems of red states can largely be overcome with personal wealth, so they tend to stay where they’re politically comfortable.

          Another thing is that blue-staters tend to have more buying power than red-staters, so they get butthurt about being priced out of real estate instead of realizing that their relative poverty is the direct consequence of republican policy. 20 states still have a $7.25 minimum wage, guess which ones.

        A common refrain I’ve heard from Republicans here is “Don’t Commie-fornia my Arizona”. I could absolutely see them trying to pass something similar.

      I think it means Texans will have to purchase one whole New Yorker for each New Yorker who moves to Texas?
