Why are people leaving blue states?

December to February, sure. Maybe even November and March also.

It's the rest of the year that's impossible to deal with.

You even been to Miami in July? It's like being a sauna with your clothes on.

Interesting that you ask us not to consider weather in the OP and then spend a page talkin' bout weather.

Why aren't all these defected libs moving to South Dakota? They've got lower tax rates overall than Florida.

Good point, because this is the first RHP thread in history that has blown a little off topic.

They are.

They should leave those courses as 'optional', IMO. But I seriously doubt that the History texts have been stripped
of the slavery issues just because they are removing African American studies. Two different issues.

It’s like a British government removing Anglo / Irish or British colonial history from the national curriculum. You cannot carve out significant chunks of your history and still expect to get a coherent overview.
The purpose of history is not to make us feel good or bad about ourselves, its job is to trace an accurate path to how we arrived at the here and now.

It seems the point you're missing is maybe it's possible there are reasons other than republicanism that people are moving to Florida. The link you shared notes that South Dakota gained 80,000 people in a decade, but California gained 2 million in the same period.

Taxes are low in other states people are not moving to.

Crime is high in Florida and people are still moving there.

Traffic? Weather? Job security? Schools? These are not republican issues. And there are lots of examples of lib turd states where people are flocking. Texas and Florida are trendy for sure, but not for reasons stated.

You can only judge by percentages. Judging SD against CA by raw numbers is silly.

Traffic?

The northeast cities that people are leaving have much better public transit systems.

Weather?

The weather in Texas sucks, for the most part.

Job security?

That's an economic issue, which, ergo, is a political one.

Schools?

If people are leaving blue states because schools are better in red ones, that's a damning indictment.

Only an idiotic right whinge’r would think that was funny, poor academic results must go way back before the libtard onslaught.

You're saying people are leaving blue states because of reasons that don't make sense. What are the reasons? I don't think they are leaving because they are blue and going to states because they are red. The color is not a relevant criteria.

Als, you can only judge by percentages? What kind of sorcery is that? Someone from California leaves for reasons and moves to South Dakota. It's the same person but the percentage is different depending on which perspective you're looking at the move.
